Westmeath Football on Brink of Financial Meltdown - Back Page of Indo

[Maroon Heaven]

Not up yet on Indo site to post it up here, but generally saying that we are €641,000 in debt for Football alone, and in need of an injection of cash.

Medical bills of €90,000 and a debt of €141,000 for football this season alone. Also mentions the similar situation in Biffoland (I think they put that in to soften the blow)

I know a few people in Westmeath GAA - good hearts but are amateurs when it comes to the business end. We are still the only county with no county website FFS. Our PRO writes in the Westmeath Papers every week and tells people to log onto a minor Westmeath football website for the last 3 years - yet the link has not been up for 2 years. Amateurs lads amateurs.

On a positive note - when was the last time our Footballers were mentioned on the back page of the Indo so far into August.

Get a local manager and stop paying mercenaries and that would be a good start.

Would the obvious candidate be a certain Mr. Dolan?

Get the boys who coughed up for Rory's leagal bill to foot this bill as well!

Why didn't they charge €2 "handling" fee per ticket when the going was good.
