When will it ever sink in with folks Croke Park will NEVER reform the fixtures to give more summer time for club fixtures, never, lads can come up with all the plans they want!!!! croke park is obsessed with money! always was and as the super 8 proves its worse now than ever. and in sick to theteeth being told its going to the grass roots, maybe its time to stop giving clubs grants to build big white elephent club houses that are not neded in most cases and are only built because the crowd in the next parish have one, my home club built one, now gym closed, bar closed kitchen closed and club crippled in debt Stmunnsriver (Wexford) - Posts: 2842 - 03/03/2017 20:00:45 1963290 Link 0 |

Is there ever anyone doing a cost/benefit analysis of this stuff? I mean let's say it's a small village/town what's the justification of say having a restaurant running in a clubhouse hoping it will bring in money. Is there people around at 1pm looking for a bit of lunch?? It wouldn't take much common sense to gage a potential customer base for this kind of stuff.

I can't understand people building something that is not needed. Dublin clubs would never get a GAA grant to build a clubhouse - especially the ones you describe County borad would be broke in no time. BTW in big built up areas it is hard work getting people in to clubhouse bars and function rooms. But debt is a growing problem one sure fire way to avoid it is to not build something no one will use, be it a county centre of excellence, a huge county ground or a clubhouse along the lines you describe. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4896 - 05/03/2017 20:20:19 1964147 Link 0 |
