1509137 If u buy a season ticket u should be credited for attending 8 games whether you attend 8 or not.If you can be charged for attending a
match u havent gone too that is only fair? If ur county got to All Ireland final and you couldnt go you would be charged 80 euro?What
organisations would do that?Heartless ones.Thats my point its the GAAs prerogative to charge what they want I dont care.What I do
care about is saying that they care about fans when money comes first as that is hypocritical?


You are allowed one opt out in the season ticket, I use it every year when im on holidays, as for not being able to make a final and being charged do you really think you are gonna be stuck with that ticket.
you want your cake and eat it, your not the sharpest tool in the box that for sure.

Fair enough Ath Cliath but I have morals.Can the GAA top brass with all conscience say the same?I work for a volunteer organisation
free of charge so I know what it means to give something back.

Ormond I wouldnt mind so much if clubs who needed the money received help with grounds etc.There was a club in Down lately called
Ballymartin that was looking for a new pitch? Did the GAA build it for them? No!! When their goal posts were cut down at the council
owned pitch they were using by loyalists? no!! with all that money they could have helped that club and made a stand.If it was cups
of tea or lunches with Peter Robinson they are happy to help?.....

Yes the top brass can sa the same
Clubs receive plenty across all sectors. They do help hundreds of their clubs and thousands of their members week in week out 52 weeks of the year
If you have such an issue with how money is apportioned to projects contact the press office of GAA and query whatever you want or need to
