Replying To cuttothebone:  "Do you want the Connacht centre of excellence rebuilt or not? Do you expect these things to just grow out of the ground? Ye don't have a hurling championship, and have smallest football championship, there's very few occasions they can make money.. Stay away if your unfortunate enough not to be able to afford it, but im sure their all ears if you have an alternative plan."
Prenty said In public that separate money will be spent on the COE. What is getting rebuilt is the dome and debatable if it needed. Another storm will likely take it again.

To make money you look to attract the biggest possible crowd to attend a match, once in attendance further money can be made on programmes food etc. All the Connnacht GAA did was turn plenty away from attending awful business sense and then are complaining about losing money you really can't make it up.
