Regardless of size of fish or pond the income from hurling through gate receipts and National League brought in just €550,000 in 2025. The income for football was €156,000 in 2025. Yet the expenditure is similar enough. 2026 will be closer of course as the hurlers were in 1B not 1A and footballers in 3 not 4. But until that income gap is closed the County Board have to feed the cash cow that in return helps supply the County Board etc. If the hurling team are consistently in the lower divisions then there will be less income and thus less money for them but also for the footballers. And do you think sponsors will be happy if the hurling team are on TV only 2/3 times a year instead of 4/5.?? Ideally both Wexford teams are in Division 1 and bringing in €550,000 each. That would be the perfect scenario..
