Should the clubs reject the cash so based on some moral higher superiority? I don't know any club who couldn't do with the cash. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 12284 - 29/09/2026 12:04:55 2695470 Link

Soften up the locals, oldest trick in the book. Sure we have a long history of bending the knee to the man with the biggest wallet. Can't complain then about some of the carry on of their companies.

To complain about the carry on of large US tech companies. How are the clubs bending the knee? Are there some principles they're having to sacrifice as a result of getting this money? They happen to be local to a castle bought by one of the richest men in the world. Apart from that, I'm not sure what you think they have to do now. The money should come in handy. It's hard to find any wallet willing to open itself for the needs of GAA clubs. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 3086 - 30/09/2026 13:26:37 2695677 Link
