No idea if thats accurate or where the money is seen!Quote from: JoG2 on April 19, 2024, 02:28:37 PMQuote from: thewobbler on April 19, 2024, 01:22:29 PMIt's odd isn't it?
Every single last person involved in sport knows that protracted knockout competitions are a steaming pile of dung until the element of jeopardy arrives.
And yet all around Ireland, all around the world, we keep introducing and extending these formats.
Other sports can at least use professionalism and a need for paying spectators as their excuse.
We cannot.
Well considering 85% approx of money generated filters down to the clubs, we all win?
Where's that figure coming from?
HQ is clearly contributing to player injury insurance. And it pays for the IT infrastructure (Foireann).
But I did a 5 year stretch as a treasurer until recently. And i don't actually recall a direct benefit coming from HQ during that time.
Was I filling in the wrong forms?
I would say that's a steaming pile of dung. I don't remember our club getting anything from GAA so maybe Jarlath can elaborate. Even on grants its all from government
