It's a disgrace- what families who have followed Down all year can afford an extra £12 per ticket? The county board will make plenty from the final as it is with merchandising etc- it really is the Grab All Association if that get passed at the county board meeting

In fairness lads the County Board are requesting people to pay the extra 12 quid to avail of the draw. It doesnt seem compulsory from my reading of it.

[MCMLX]

I think its a good idea. The money is needed and the lads deserve bit of backing. Its not a massive amount of money and its not like we are in this position very often. I have no problem with it.

I agree. It seems no matter what is done there's always somebody complaining.

Preparing a team properly to win an All Ireland isn't cheap. We don't get that many opportunities like this so let's do the thing as well as we can. If Down win; it will be well worth the extra few quid. If they don't well we can't say we didn't give it our best shot.

Anybody got a space in a 4ball for the Golf Classic?

I'm a member of Spa so could be an asset

They are sold out already

[Long Ball]

I don't care what you say- raising an extra £145,000 out of the pockets of genuine fans who have followed the team through thick and thin is a slap in the face. It wasn't needed in 91 or 94- I'm pretty sure the great Kerry team of the past decade didn't ask if of their supporters but our board only see the £ signs. Many genuine supporters are struggling for work never mind the fortunes they have already spent kitting out their kids in strips and getting them flags etc.

A Mallon - are you trying to wind Long Ball up? Breakfast with the team and a golf classic to raise funds! Think of the "genuine fans"!

Long Ball - if you don't want to pay the extra few quid don't pay it. The County Board aren't going to send anyone round to your house to beat it out of you. Relax and enjoy the next couple of weeks build up to the match.
