In the 'Super 8' each team would have a home, an away game and a game at a neutral venue, Croke Park. All except Dublin who would have one away game and two home games.

Replying To Whammo86:  "All in the GAA had only a €2m surplus in 2015 off revenues of €90m.

Where do they find the extra to pay 8 squads of intercounty players. What about hurling?"
It's how you use the 90 million (plus all the extra they hope to pull in from the new venture). that dictates whether you have the money or not

For years the GAA has been and still is the second wealthiest "Amateur" organisation in the world, fact.

Are you saying that they would have to travel to all of their games? That would be awful.

Material wealth maybe, but not hard cash, I can't see it being a fact.?
