Money, Dublin and the GAA

[highorlow]

Of the 40 Vincent's senior panel players 80% of them, last week, got a fitness test equivalent to a premier league soccer player.

That's club football in Dublin!

Population really isn't the full picture but then again having a 40 player senior panel with the majority as fit as Pogba helps !

Where did you hear that?

The number of registered adult players per county is very interesting. Dublin's numerical advantage far less pronounced that the pure population figures, which are obviously a complete nonsense given the amount of people in Dublin with no interest in, and often severe dislike of GAA.

But that 39k is sure to grow and the difference increase, given the ever increasing number of country people moving to Dublin. Would be interesting to see the full list of the home county of current Dubs' players parents



Would be interesting to see these figures further broken down between football, hurling, dual. At first glance it would seem that Galway have twice the pick of Mayo, and when comparing football to football, I'd guess it would be a lot closer.

Its the number of juveniles that are playing I'd be much more interested in for each county. Obviously there will be a drop out due to other sports, it's a bad way of phrasing it but the better players in the main will be the ones to carry on to play as adults and the lesser players weeded out due to being down the pecking order or on b, c and d teams. I've no idea what the numbers of juveniles in each county, maybe it does mimic the adult numbers in terms of differences

There's not 9000 registered adults playing fall in Derry, are we counting a lot of under age here? We do well to have 1200 players playing adult football n Derry, wonder how that compares to Dublin, Kerry, or Cork

[Orchard park]

Nor 6500 in Ross

Dead right.

Looking at the figure of Fermanagh, there's only 21 football clubs in the county and one hurling club. So each club would have over 100 players. That's horseshit.

Where did that map and figures come from?
If it's from the GAA annual report does it include everyone from the youngest kids playing U6/U8 fun games up to an oul buck registered in case the Junior B team is stuck for numbers?

Not a hope 40 players on their senior panel unless intermediate team is training with them.

Nor 6500 in Ross

The figure for Westmeath implies an average of 178 players per club. Rubbish. That map can be discarded.

The numbers seem impossibly large, even if every underage player is counted.
Perhaps they could club members?

There are many small clubs in Roscommon or Westmeath with 30 players

I would seriously question that

Dublin have plenty of real advantages but this one smells distinctly of shïte.
