Hey lads Just wondering what each clubs approach is too getting physio for there teams for a Injured player to attend or for match days. Does players pay or how do clubs make this possible Ba7 (Meath) - Posts: 29 - 20/01/2023 12:18:15 2453195 Link

So most clubs membership are around 100 euro and you say that this pays for attending a physio Ba7 (Meath) - Posts: 29 - 20/01/2023 14:07:00 2453219 Link
Ours are either paid for by managers or else the teams would raise funds at the beginning/end of each year to put towards these costs ratlag (Meath) - Posts: 582 - 20/01/2023 14:37:16 2453225 Link

It is getting very expensive I'll give you that. 80 -100 euro to attend a match. 40-50 a payer to treat and these prices are reasonable. Then you have say your junior team or 2nd team looking for physio aswell. But to answer your question our club never ask players to pay and we pay out of club funds be it fundraisers or membership.

Surely thats what your paying a playing memebership for. insurance, phiso and facilities like club gym and showers? Very tight of that club and sounds like they don't have control of their finances.

I suggest you might seek written proof signed by a club official that this is the case . nobull456 (Meath) - Posts: 1266 - 23/01/2023 12:46:41 2453611 Link
What happened to us was the player paid the physio sessions, filled in the insurance form and claimed it all back. If a player couldn't afford it, the club would cover the sessions and then claim it back Tinchy1 (Meath) - Posts: 66 - 23/01/2023 14:14:22 2453665 Link

Yea I was thinking the same but different counties can have different ways of doing things but with membership set at 120 thought that would be enuf to cover cost especially when there is no gym facilities Ba7 (Meath) - Posts: 29 - 23/01/2023 18:46:07 2453774 Link
