Rhubarbs v Stealers

[whitey]

The Prenty Council give a grant I believe but it's well short of the actual cost.
Then again if you have 23 backroom, 26 players only plus County Board officers.........

With the huge diasporas most Connaught counties have on the East Coast (of the US) it should actually be an opportunity to RAISE money for the team

Dermot Earley, born and bred Mayo as were all belonging to him....going back to the beginning of time

Dermots mum and dad left Mayo for Roscommon in the early 50s when Dermot was still in primary school and Dermots younger brother Paul who also played for Roscommon was born in the 60s.

Yeah there's definitely a special payment every year for whoever has to play New York. No idea of the actual figure.

Any county board that doesn't manage to come out a good bit ahead after the trip to the US is incompetent imo.

Anyways, when did all this animosity between Mayo and Roscommon begin? Since the Facebook era?

Since Syferus made the pilgrimage to Gorthaganny and occupied Ballagh

Roscommon 5th highest spenders?

6 League matches away from home, rent to Kiltoom, Longford and Carrick.
No training facilities so have to pay for use of gyms and club grounds
6 Championship games one of which was 5,000 km away
Most of our players spend most of the year living away from home
Backroom of 23 at least
Due to Croker bailout have to put everything through the accounts

Do the individual county boards have to foot the bill for the annual trips to the Big Apple? It's a big mad if they do. HQ should pay for that imo. Taking an intercounty panel up to Croker for a game is one thing, taking them to another feckin' continent, is another thing entirely.

How much did they raise in funds over there?

I heard from a good source that the entire family got "Rossies 4 Life" tatoos when they moved 1 mile over the border into Sheepland

200,000 according to this and that money will go towards a training centre and will be named after the late Dermot Earley.

Stick to the Trump support.

It was always there, Farr. There's OAPs on both sides on the border who don't give a flying fûck about football but just want to see their county beat the neighbours. They're not the same ladeens writing on Willie Joe's blog or on Facebook groups..

[seafoid]

The interest in the rivalry seems to be fairly one sided

Mayo topped the charts at over €1.6m, up almost double from 880k in 2015.

What in the actual fúck are ye at?

We've been through all that some weeks ago. I gave you a report from the Mayo News that emphasised that the €1.6m covered all teams, ladies and gents, boys and girls in all grades, including replays.
By contrast, the sheep shaggers spent €1,074,000 and had sweet FA to show for it.
Th'oul bus must be guzzling a fair drop of diesel.

Must be getting a bit doddery in your old age, Lar. We've a brand new pitch to show for the money..

'Zat so??
Pity you didn't bother to read the Indo article we are referring to.  This little gem in particular...
For the first time, Roscommon joined the 'millionaire's club,' chalking up bills of €1,074,000 to run their team affairs
Sygf, you definitely losing whatever little biteen of sense you might have had before you joined this forum.

Whats your major malfunction kiddo?

[Farrandeelin]

After the 'mass hysteria' of Westport's win, it's time for the more mundane feeling of the Mayo Ros league game. Parsons will be a loss for Mayo. I wonder if Keegan will line out for this one.

Edit: Keegan will be available for this game.
