Antrim Football Thread

So what are we spending our million on in Antrim ? 

How many clubs are in Antrim?

If there's 50 clubs say, then each club will get €20,000.


About 45-50 ?

Would some clubs get more? I see it is to be spent across all the codes so would clubs like say TNN or Glenravel who cover all codes be entitled to more than a purely football or hurling club? Either way, I'm sure it will be welcomed by each club.

Good point.

Hopefully the answer is yes but I would doubt it.

More likely is we will have to split it 4 ways whereas the likes of Portglenone get £10k per code.

According to the Irish Times breakdown each club in Antrim will get £6,667

County   Per Club

Antrim   €6,667
Armagh   €10,870
Carlow   €22,222
Cavan   €13,699
Clare   €7,874

Derry   €10,753
Donegal   €10,765
Down   €8,065
Dublin   €4,444

Are LGFA and Camogie separate? So if a club has 4 codes they get 3 payments?

It must work like that as otherwise those figures would be suggesting there's 150 clubs in Antrim.

It is an amazing gesture. fair play to him for doing it. Every club will welcome funds coming in and will make good use of them.

make good use unless you use the money to change some mans car who wont be near your club in two years time

Fair play JP. A fantastic gesture.  F#@k the begrudgers.  Always complaining about something.  Better going to the GAA instead of giving it to the government and being wasted on the Children's Hospital.

He gave money to clubs four or five years ago I think.

I heard on the radio that his Foundation has gave away millions and millions to good causes over the years. Plus the lad said that he's given a lot more than that away - which most people don't hear about.

You'll hardly see his taxes if he did pay them

So the county scene kicks off again this week. I think we can be optimistic, the vibes are good, positive results in challenge games, clearly the Portugal trip went very well. Be good to see the fellas putting it up to Monaghan midweek before Fermanagh at home
