I attended 5 Mc Kenna cup matches, with wife and family (adult unemployed son and student daughter) Paid 9.00 each -£36.00 5 times = 180, watched reserve team football, bought my weekly club lotto ticket for all the family (£7.00) bought 50.00 ticket for another club, bought 3 lotto tickets for other clubs, , contributed ? to Haiti at a match, bought 5 x £1.00 tickets for HT draw.
Now I like to think we are the grass roots, who support the club other clubs and help out around the club. Oh I paid my family membership in January too (£100.00).
I haven't gone to any National League matches yet, as I would have to leave most of the grass roots at home. When that happens the grass roots might dissappear. To those who set the prices, here is a question : when was the llast time you brought the family to a reserve team GAA match and paid for the family the gate, Come do think of it when did you last go to any match with the family and pay at the gate.
