J Horan the other day said they needed to raise funding to allocate more development money to clubs. Why not cut the funding to the GPA? We are seeing that elitism costs money and it's going to be up to the grassroots to fund it. Greenfield (Meath) - Posts: 522 - 25/01/2019 22:01:29 2159577 Link 1 |
Most people took the story as all the clubs benefitting from the increase, it needs to be clarified, 1/ is it only clubs who apply to Croke Park for development funding, 2/ is it only clubs vested in the GAA who can apply for funding, 3/ can community facilities shared by GAA & other sports apply for this funding or 4/ or is every club juvenile, adult, hurling, football, camoige, lgfa going to benefit. Statement needs to be clarified.

Maybe I'm overlooking something, but I'm struggling to unravel the reasoning for the price increases. It's all very fine and well saying it's been 8 years since they were last increased, but what are the GAA's major overheads? Gleebo (Mayo) - Posts: 2208 - 07/02/2019 09:04:07 2163130 Link 0 |
I'd say there's 3 fundamental reasons: i) Fixed costs have increased recently. This includes the likes of insurance, electricity and Garda attendance etc. (Gardaí got a pay hike recently which would no doubt be passed onto the punter). ii) There have been significant capital costs, such as the upgrade of PUC and the relevant rates that go along with paying for this. There may well be other plans in place / already underway in relation to infrastructure and / or development costs, pay outs to teams etc. which demand extra resources. iii) There is no doubt but that the number crunchers in HQ performed an analysis of supply and demand and came to the conclusion that increased prices would not affect demand to the extent that their net intake would be down. This seems counterintuitive given recent figure breakdowns but you would imagine HQ would have access to these figures before they hiked the price. It doesn't appear to make sense on the face of things. Kurt_Angle (Dublin) - Posts: 567 - 07/02/2019 12:35:07 2163184 Link 1 |
