Replying To GreenAndGold74: "Perhaps 'Headquarters' could provide chauffeurs for the 'Boys in blue'." We only do private jets in the winter. Flew into Farranfore last Feb, callsign D4IAR, changed to D5IAR for next year. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 17/10/2019 14:01:28 2244073 Link
Replying To Joxer: "I thought your win in Tralee in Feb would linger long in your memory, as it should in getting one up on the champs. Perhaps you weren't there. We flew into Farranfore that morning with the team on the sponsor provided Gulfstream jet. No need for the Foresters on that occasion." Well if you were at the match in February you would know that the roads around Killarney and Tralee are perfect ;-) KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 17/10/2019 14:22:24 2244082 Link

Give me Killarney over Tralee any day. Beautiful part of the world and great craic. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 17/10/2019 14:28:45 2244084 Link
Replying To TheUsername: "Is that true though really, Mayo have spent more then Dublin some years, i mean what are the individual things Dublin have in preparation that other counties dont? I dont really mind that popular view point, and it seems counties are always looking to do what Dublin do, but what is it exactly? As a Dub im kind on envious of some of the facilities and other aspects of prep other counties have." Mayo have spent more some years due to the massive logistical costs associated with sending a team to the capital city 5/6 times in the height of summer/September...all those replays...The vast majority of course collected from fundraising of which I think everyone in mayo gave something at the time. It's not that hard to figure out. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11227 - 18/10/2019 17:35:39 2244274 Link

Mayo GAA have, however, said that "as a matter of urgency that all commercial and sponsorship deals are confidential between the parties. What we can confirm is that the current main sponsorship represents a significant investment annually for Elverys when the baseline figure and performance bonuses are included. It is one of the largest sponsorships in the GAA." It's time for all counties to publish their financial accounts and profit & losses. Dublin financial details have been speculated in for years, with many of our deals known to the public. It's time all counties are equally transparent. Many skeletons in many counties to be uncovered. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 22/10/2019 21:33:52 2245079 Link
https://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/mayo-patron-seeks-audit-as-he-reveals-he-was-called-a-donkey-in-county-board-email-38618829.html This kind of behaviour really hurts Mayos reputation. Any sponsor looking at this carry on would be very wary of the county board on the back of all this which in turn could impact Mayo's ability to pull future revenue they need. keithlemon (Australia) - Posts: 920 - 31/10/2019 10:51:01 2246742 Link
Look at the carry on in the Dáil. With expenses. RTE are making big losses, so say due to the big ego's involved. Irish rugby has got millions upon millions from the taxpayer too. Point I am making is why single out the GAA. Connacht rugby has just got 20 million from Irish govt. And where is their scutiny? galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2517 - 31/10/2019 11:11:25 2246747 Link

If Mayo had been playing 90% - 100% of their championship matches in Croker including league semis and finals in Mayo they'd have spent far less.

Can't understand why the very generous individual involved is still hanging in there particularly in the way he has being insulted & his reputation damaged by members of the Mayo County Board. To play songs in reference to the case & deem it has light hearted humour when it's insulting to a individual who has handed over a six figure sum from his own pocket just shows the level of disdain these officials have for sponsors. Time for him to pull the plug & leave them to their cloak & dagger economics. This man deserves more than being openly mocked. moc.dna (Galway) - Posts: 1212 - 31/10/2019 11:34:43 2246761 Link

Reputation damaged? i doubt a man who flashed his ......... for England at the Euros's cares to much about his reputation. sourmilk93 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1144 - 31/10/2019 12:26:19 2246771 Link

Due to legal restraints, those who attended last night's Mayo County Board meeting were told, in a prepared statement, that it could not respond to issues that have been raised by the Mayo Supporters Foundation. No questions were allowed by delegates to the prepared statement, on the grounds that the County Board had taken legal advice on the emails received from the Mayo Supporters Foundation. The board met last night to discuss recently highlighted governance issues between it and the foundation, which resulted in the foundation withholding a quarter of a million euro raised for Mayo GAA at a function in New York last May. The county board will meet again on Monday night next at 7.30 to discuss the matter further, however, the media will not be permitted to attend. John Melvin of the Connaught Telegraph told Midwest News this morning that "the whole saga has gone into extra time". TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 31/10/2019 17:35:35 2246860 Link

Your a very confused individual, no where am I slagging anyone, you don't seem to be able to read posts or grasp what's said. The relavence of Connacht Rugby to this post is nil, except to a Walter Mitty type character. moc.dna (Galway) - Posts: 1212 - 31/10/2019 21:41:28 2246900 Link
