THE GAA enjoyed a bumper 2017 generating total revenue of €65.6m, an increase of nine percent on the previous year.

The growth was due to a 24 percent increase in attendances at games in the All-Ireland football championship allied to big jump in revenue from the GAA's new media contracts – including their controversial deal with Sky.

A €1.5m increase in gate receipts for the football championship helped pushed the total figure for games under the control of the Central Council to a record €34.4m for the 2017 season. Commercial revenue totalled €19m compared to €17.9m in 2016.

Also in the report...

Even though there was a drop of over €200,000 in the grant which Dublin received towards Games Development last year they still received €1.2m in 2016 with Cork the next bigger recipient at €249,000.

Since the introduction of coaching grants in 2007, Dublin has received more than €16.m in funding directly from Croke Park with Cork the next biggest recipients at just over €1m.

Does Dublin have 16 times the players of Cork I wonder to justify this disparity?? I wonder how much Mayo has received for coaching since 2007 or how much Cavan has received??

It is important for the GAA to be strong in the Capital. The Capital is the main source of revenue in sponsorship and have the largest fan base.

Don't worry, The Greatest et al will do it for them.

And Man Utd are not what they used to bè so there are spare fans.
But the GAA should have no interest in monoculture.

Also in the report:

Counties also get grants from the provincial councils, who were paid a total of €1.39m for distribution last year. Cork came out on top in the overall payments to clubs and counties, scooping €2.2m, of which €1.3m went towards the redevelopment of Páirc Uí Chaoimh, which was completed in June.

Offaly also did well with capital grants, coming in second highest on €1.1m. Dublin were just behind Cork in overall payments, taking €1.98m, followed by Kerry (€1.3m) and Galway (€1.1m). Mayo topped the team expenses chart on €370,284, followed by Galway (€271,480), Dublin (€251,584) and Waterford (€194,000).

Dublin received 14% of all Games development money, seems reasonable.

Mayo spent 100k more than other teams. I am not sure if the Galway and Dublin expenditure include both codes but if they do, wow, but wow anyway.

[Esmarelda]

Surely a reduction of €200,000 from the previous year is a step in the right direction?

[Maroon Manc]

Can someone expand on the expenses, is that HQ contributing towards towards mileage expenses?

i jnow cork have more clubs than Dublin not sure if they have as many players but probably would not be far off.
I tink the Dublin money is mainly for players they don't have

Is that just match day grants for teams playing in Central Council fixtures?
Mayowestros played 7 or 8 of those last year.
Figures of nose of Registered players was shown on some thread a few months ago.
Dublin had c 39,000 Cork c 23,000.

I heard somewhere a while back that HQ was taking over administration of the mileage expenses for intercounty players.
Apparently it was at the request of the GPA as some intercounty boards consistently had issues with reimbursing the players in a timely manner [code for were acting the bollix in terms of favouring one code over the other].
From what I heard the individual county boards would still be the ones responsible for covering all the costs for mileage.

[TheGreatest]

Mayo topped the team expenses chart on €370,284

Just wondering what the likes are Sligo, Leitrim and Clare feel about this , unfair advantage, how can they compete.

Needs to be looked into, a central pot and each team gets and equal share of expenses for the provincial championship.

[thewobbler]

While mayo's spending is disproportionally high even in that quartet, the fact that the four highest spenders were the four all Ireland finalists should tell you that their spending isn't greater than Sligo because they're pulling strokes, but because they're successful on the field.

Mayo and Galway outspend the other pair because they've further to travel for the majority of their matches.

Then when you factor in 2 replays in Croke Park, you can largely explain their additional spend over the the other finalists.


Sometimes things just aren't sinister at all folks.
