GAA ripping off the clubs

mournerambler · April 12, 2009, 05:03:53 PM

The GAA are offering the clubs the oppurtunity to purchase its 125 year flag at a cost of £100, the flag is 6'x3'.
I think this is a total disgrace for Croke Park to expect clubs to fork out £100 for one flag in the times we are in & especially when a lot of clubs struggle to keep there heads above water with running costs on the rise every year.

Why would they waste that kind of money on it.

More fool the clubs if they buy it.

I thought this 125 pack including flag was going out free to all the clubs. Are you sure?

But it is that simple. You object to the price, don't purchase. Thread closed.

If I start the thread i'll decide when to close it, you twat.

I doubt youse lads in Down are getting ripped off. My club in Tyrone got their pack, flag and all for free. I know for sure every club here is getting a free flag.
