What a man! Donating 100 grand to each county board; this will make a huge impact to all of the teams in the country. This money could be what a few counties needed to get up to scratch with Dublin. oakleafersir (Derry) - Posts: 808 - 24/09/2018 17:43:33 2143570 Link

very welcome for many clubs...should be noted that it is for club development so i hope the money is not frittered away on paying expenses or wages for managers or coaching staff mayotyroneman (Tyrone) - Posts: 1821 - 24/09/2018 21:18:07 2143608 Link
will it really make much of a difference ?. 40 clubs in Cavan that's £2,500 each. There's not a lot you can do with that. I mean it's a great gesture but when you divide it up it doesn't amount to much. s goldrick (Cavan) - Posts: 5518 - 24/09/2018 21:59:28 2143618 Link
This is a welcome development, This vital intervention means we can now add brunch with low fat, foam free lattes to the meal plan delivered to all Dublin players. ;) TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 24/09/2018 22:06:35 2143619 Link

Replying To gahfan: "presume dublin won't be getting any" It's €100'000 per county so I take it that they are. That said the likes of Dublin and Cork will see a few hundred quid per club at most so while it's welcome it's not exactly life changing.

Replying To mayotyroneman: "very welcome for many clubs...should be noted that it is for club development so i hope the money is not frittered away on paying expenses or wages for managers or coaching staff" Agree 100%. The hungry managers/mismanagers should not get an iota of this money. Also the smaller the number of clubs, which tends to be the smaller counties will get more per club. Master stroke by the "kid" and bookmakers are seldom wrong. MillerX (Meath) - Posts: 1062 - 24/09/2018 22:38:34 2143623 Link
Some man for one man. Fairplay I know it'll do Galway a lot of good but the likes of Louth, leitrim and similar it will change the setup completely galwayfball (Galway) - Posts: 1678 - 24/09/2018 22:56:47 2143628 Link

I'm sure any club in Cavan would be delighted with that, its €2,500 more than they had this morning, wouldn't it buy a new set of jerseys or help out with the upkeep of their pitches?

Replying To gahfan: "presume dublin won't be getting any" It's very important that Dublin get the lion's share, I mean how are we supposed to keep winning without all that money!?? realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8586 - 25/09/2018 00:10:19 2143635 Link

I'm sure your club don't have to accept it, I'm sure you can refuse if its not enough. €2,000 is a lot of effort in ticket sales, or bucket collecting. It will buy for example 40 O Neill's match football's, or over 150 hurling balls, or would pay for buses and accommodation to bring your underage teams away for a weekend on a trip to play in a different county. It would pay for roughly half of a decent scoreboard, it would buy a lot of lime to mark a pitch. It would fill a diesel generator for floodlights for over a years worth of use. Just some examples 890202 (Wexford) - Posts: 1278 - 25/09/2018 00:37:03 2143638 Link

Maybe not but to an individual club, it could mean some new gym equipment, fresh paint on the clubhouse etc. free money always appreciated. blackspot91 (Limerick) - Posts: 1055 - 25/09/2018 05:22:59 2143641 Link

He didn't need to donate anything to anyone..any small bit of money is a help to small clubs. dave1988 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1047 - 25/09/2018 07:26:04 2143643 Link
