Read what I was replying to:
"Good job someone else and not I that mentioned that; or dollars are floating so many boats in Ireland. Kerry and Mayo particularly get huge money from over here, and have done for years. Limerick is now fast catching up. I suppose success breads success."
If Mayo are getting huge money from the US, they've hardly been that successful, relatively compared to other counties who haven't received huge money from external sources. Maybe the GAA should publish how much money each county receives from external sources, but that's another issue.
I wasn't attacking Mayo or making fun of them. I'd love to see Mayo win Sam, and always cheer them on when they are in an AI final.

Nothing to stop other counties fundraising. Mayo generate a lot of money when the teams gets to a final but they majority of not comes from fans. On the flip side it costs an enormous amount to run and keep a team on the road for a full summer and all the logistics that goes with it.

No offence taken. We should have won at least one if not more All Ireland's since we got to our first final in 38 years in 1989. We have to put that right, hopefully sooner rather than later.
