Money, Dublin and the GAA

[From the Bunker]

they dont want to rock the boat and piss off the boys in croke park because they're dependent on the monies that croke park grant them.

Have you example of clubs who lost grants due to putting motion about Dublin funding??

We have examples of Counties blackmailed for funding into giving Dublin home advantage in the Leinster Championship. We have examples of counties having to vote for weighted home games for Dublin in the Super 8 in order to get funding.

Where are these examples?

These examples happen in front of your face every year! Have you not looked at the fixture lists for both those competitions? Or do you think all those home fixtures are just a coincidence?

Are you saying that all Dublin home games in the Leinster Championship and the extra home game in the super 8 are all a coincidence.

Is it that Dublin are picked first out of the hat when the draw is made and get home venue?

Or are County boards promised extra revenue for letting Dublin have home games?

I have no evidence County and  many Club managers get paid.

Again can you provide the links? The dubs have more or less played Leinster championship games in Croke park since 1990. Surely counties have been putting in objections since that??
A couple lads insinuating stuff with no back up. I see Mick Duigan rightly spoke up.about Dublin funding  at congress. He had previously done via Twitter.  Like people anyone can waffle on message boards or social media.  Join a club and get motion  put through.

If you join a club you can put through motion.

[Rossfan]

I can propose a motion but needs a majority to vote it through.

The stats support the 'facts'.
From 1993 to 2016, Dublin played one game away v Longford and scrambled a 2 point win.
The Leinster draw is GAAmandered.

It was the other Leinster counties who voted to have Dublin play in Croke Park for two decades

So blame them

I think that's the point.  Why would they have voted for something that gives their own county a competitive disadvantage?

Because they wanted to maximise the money the Dublin team could bring in order to benefit their own counties at grass roots level

So there we have it. The Dublin money power buys all the advantages year in year out. Weaker counties who have no hope of success are better served to take the money for their county. Where they play Dublin makes no difference. They'll lose anyway.

The whole thing is really funny at this stage. Thank god I don't waste my time and money going to inter-county matches anymore. Can't think of a monopoly like this in any other sport? And more and more will vote the same as time goes on as there are virtually no challengers to Dublin in inter-county presently.
