Fair play too them. As usual if the CB do decide to do something with the pitch they will be expecting the clubs to foot the bill for them as always. Instead of trying to rise the money themselves

Just on this when it comes to fundraising and the likes the county boards expect all clubs to be able to raise the same amount of money. At senior league and championship games I believe something like the first €200 of the gate goes to the CB. That's all very easy for the big town teams to do but for some rural clubs that can be difficult. Its the same with the ladies every club has to fundraise the same amount every year for Leitrim LGFA but how is it fair to expect the likes of Aughavas to be able to raise the same amount as St Marys.

a committee something on the lines of Club Rossie should be created to deal with those exact issues. this could members from businesses with new ideas and not just stale CB members. meathbasedfan (Leitrim) - Posts: 120 - 28/09/2023 10:19:23 2506079 Link 1 |

Well joeman123. You much be part of the CB when you have to ask that question. They expect the 24 clubs to cover nearly all costs. Would your club pick 24 people in the club and expect them to pay for everything. One idea would be run their owen fun raising and stop putting it back on the clubs for a change.

I'll be honest, I don't see any issue with having clubs contribute a fair amount. After all the same clubs will be using the facilities in some shape or form. At the end of the day, the county board is only as good as the contribution that clubs make to it. Ultimately the same people end up contributing anyhow. Counties like Leitrim could badly do with getting a '400 club' going or something of the like going... in the example above 400 people paying 25eur a month would raise 10k a month. Imagine how useful that would be if going to raise finance from a bank. However I do know it has been tried before (Cairde Liatroma) and obviously it didn't get much traction. In fairness, the county board have come up with some very innovative fundraising events in the last few years. Unfortunately most clubs and organisations in the county are also looking to raise money so it's not that easy. There's clubs in Dublin who would have the playing population the entire county of Leitrim has but have people with more disposal income to give so we're always going to be up against it.

The clubs have been contributing for as long as I can remember and look what we have to show for it. A county ground with a pitch that's just about playable and gets very little use. And the COE well we wont even go there. Thejampot (Leitrim) - Posts: 338 - 28/09/2023 13:13:23 2506109 Link 0 |

I see Annaduff/Allen Gaels game is moved to Cloone which is probably a good move the way the weather is. lecture250 (Leitrim) - Posts: 130 - 28/09/2023 16:18:56 2506139 Link 0 |

Do you even know how much these projects have cost over the years? If you did, you'd know that the clubs could never contribute the full cost... not even the bulk of the cost. Looks like you're cribbing for the sake of cribbing.

I agree with you wholeheartedly

Never said the club were covering the full cost. My point is clubs are contributing to projects that are not fit for purpose. Every club could do much needed work with that money and have something to show for it

Tbf though in those days it would be questionable where the CB would be spending there money that might be why people wouldnt sign up.

How many championship matches have been played there????. Or it is just and over expensive training ground and for the odd under age blitz. Question for ya. How has it been of benefit to the clubs of the county? Genuine Question as i haven't heard of any club say it has and our county team cleared have not improved.

What projects are you talking about that's 'not fit for purpose'? Surely not the COE? The fact we have any sort of COE is better than no COE... the sort of COE people would want would cost more than Leitrim could ever afford. There's pitches & dressing rooms which is more than sufficent for what we can afford to keep. My understanding is that it cost 2 million all in. Surely not the stand at Pairc Sean? Do you even realise how much a similar stand would cost now? Building it for 3 million sounds like a steal given it would probably cost twice or three times that now. There's 5 million in capital expenditure in the last 15 years or so that wasn't all borrowed and had to be fundraised. We didn't go off and be wreckless like other counties around us. I'd be more concerned about the current expenditure on the senior team than any of the projects above but whether you like it or not, clubs have to contribute and as I've already pointed out, they will never be able to contribute the full cost so the rest has to be fundraised... which is not an easy job.
