Oh yeah, I forgot, none of the Dublin teams ever play any games outside Croke Park.
My mistake TirConnall...
(Minors, U21's, Ladies, Senior Hurlers, Senior Footballers League games....)

Looking forward to the anti-Dubs comments if Dublin ever do spend nearly a Quarter of a Million on a Team Bus though....
Maybe Toyota will provide us with one - oh wait let us not forget all the furore that caused when they provided us with cars....

I agree Kurt, fair play to Roscommon.

Wouldn't it be great if All counties could travel like that.
Every Inter County player deserves to travel in style.

Just glad Dublin weren't the 1st county to travel in such a swanky bus that is all.... Or we would NEVER hear the end of it... :o)

Apparently from speaking to a few Rossie fans, the Rossie bus cost over 200k


Now if the Dubs travelled in that there would be some uproar.

The difference in the 2 team buses was startling to say the least.

Poor country cousins my ***

Ands a new Centre of Excellence on the way for them also....


A little bit of research goes a long way....Not sure who you are trying to wind up here but the many sponsors went towards the cost of the bus and the training centre in Oran as been held up for years finally we have got plan permission however massive funding will be needed to cover the cost of that likewise with Dr Hyde park.

All I am saying is with all the whinging going on about Dublin sponsors etc, and Roscommon can get sponsors through CLUB ROSSIE to collect nearly 1/4 million for a ROSSIE BUS... Amazing....

Fair play to ye though.. The bus looked super....

Let's be fair the money Dublin get or were given over the years is the real amazing bit. I don't see much whinging? people are rightly pointing out thats today game isn't a level playing field. GAA is amateur sport its already lop sided with the size and pick of some counties, if anything the smaller counties need all the help they can get.

If you realised the amount of work going on behind the scenes by ordinary supporters to Fundraise your feel foolish.money is being raised by local businesses and the people are putting money from their own pockets into the set up.vodafone walk away from ddublin and aig just swan in with millions.big difference

Fionn nothing amazing about it. It would take a few seconds to google BNP Paribas Real Estate you will see they are not out of pocket and it was there idea among the other sponsors to provide the bus. Hopefully they are as generous towards the redevelopment of Dr Hyde park and the training centre in Oran two places that should have been competed years ago.

Analyser good point and very true, but now you get the idea what it feels like if numbers are just thrown out there without research which we have to put up with all the time .
Fionn has a point if it was us their would be pages about it and nobody would bother to google anything.
