How do you know the majority of Dublin supporters on the hill seemed disinterested in watching the minors? Were you with in talking distance of them all????? Maybe a group in your direct vacinity. But to claim you know this of the majority of the fans in the hill at that time is just a silly statement. ( silly at best.)

No I simply don't see why because somebody does work in a club they deserve tickets, the club wouldn't exist without sponsors so those the sponsors of each team in the club deserve a certain amount of a club's allocation at that rate, do you get what I mean you would be going on for ever with people staking claims based on this and that. people who support a team all year by attending the games regardless of if they are in a club or not are the county supporters and without county supporters the clubs around the country wouldn't be reaping the rewards of state of the art facilities as it's the gates at inter county games all year that allows the gaa pass that finding down to clubs. the simple thing like any other sport people who go all year surely are more deserving then those who don't. hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 04/09/2017 17:31:28 2042638 Link 0 |
Can't see your point here Nearly every double header involving senior and minor You will get only a certain percentage of supporters in for the minor game. I was in for both and got behind both teams just cannot see how you make these assumptions. finally regarding all ireland final tickets if the supporters are going to support the Dublin senior football team why should it matter if they were in for the minor game as it is the senior team playing in the final not the minors, at that rate you could say Galway and Waterford supporters didn't deserve tickets on Sunday if they didnt go there footballers games which again would be silly. hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 04/09/2017 17:39:59 2042645 Link 0 |
The club to me is the central unit of the Gaa and around that county teams are drawn together. The ticket allocation does not really change each year and I think they have the balance right... Attending All-Ireland's is not a right and it should be earned. If you are involved in a club where the myriad of chores is eternal, if you are involved as a trainer of more than one team and you trim the grass, paint the poles, wash the jersies... yes all of that... costing you money... that person is the person that to me should be there at the big game if he or she wants to go... too many from competing counties have no connection with the competing team and what are they doing there... yeah supporting their team... but the ethos of the Gaa is about rewarding the person who is doing all the work...it is a small thank you to the guy who keeps the local scene going... too many fellas taking tickets and they do nothing for the GAA and never have done.. they see All-Ireland day as a day out. The fella or lassie who works in the club - they work for the association. They have made it what it is. When tickets are dispersed within a competing county - usually all those who are work in the club scene get a ticket and that is as it should be. carlowman (Carlow) - Posts: 1821 - 04/09/2017 21:29:29 2042740 Link 3 |
What other sports are you talking about? I think you over estimate how much of the money from inter county gate receipts makes it's way back to the clubs across the country. Most money is raised by club members through various fundraising initiatives whether for the day to day running costs or bigger spends on club developments. You also over estimate the influence of a club sponsor. Although most main club sponsors in competing counties are looked after by the club I'm sure. Club members pay membership to become a member of a club and the GAA. Clubs pay affiliation/registration fees to county boards for all it's teams. Club delegates elect divisional and county board officers. All county players are club players first. Great to see the club colours of all the players in the hurling final on display yesterday. If you struggle to see the direct link between the clubs (it's members/volunteers) and the county teams then you don't understand the GAA at all.

The clubs also wouldn't exist without volunteers.

There will never be enough tickets for the Final. Yet allocations etc. are reasonablly fair when you look at them indepth. Of course you can drag up cases here and there about some 'geninue' supporter (whatever that is) but overall the GAA get it 95% right. witnof (Dublin) - Posts: 1604 - 07/09/2017 08:58:46 2043710 Link 0 |
Perfect storm this year in relation to both hurling and football. In hurling 2 teams big populations, without much success in relation to all Irelands in recent years. Going to be massive interest and people from galway and Waterford all over world looking for tickets. Football, Dublin biggest population base going for 3 in row. Mayo largest population, plus mayo people all over Ireland. Of course going to be massive interest. Tickets are in demand but there will never be enough tickets for the Final. Clubs from other counties using tickets for draws, plenty of people (and people from mayo or Dublin that have moved into new towns and clubs) in these clubs would love to go, but are put their club first and using it as fundraiser. On facebook and klubfunder.com plenty of draws for tickets with chance to win all Ireland tickets. And some genuine gaa people don't mind giving dig out to weeker counties/clubs even if it is for a draw. madbull (Westmeath) - Posts: 195 - 07/09/2017 10:25:14 2043736 Link 0 |
