Beachcomber, The entertainment value Gaelic games give would be a big factor in enriching their coffers.
Try getting a ticket for some of those All-Irelands in Croke Park and like me you can end up disappointed, 80,000 for an amatuer sport takes some beating, there is talk this year of bringing the Ulster Final to Croke Park as the 35,000 capacity of Clones would leave quite a few outside.
Those games along with all the other provinicial games brings in a vast amount of revenue.
When our local club in the late 80s were opening a new playing field the GAA supplied a third of the cost, imagine the goons in the FAI helping some of the clubs out, some chance.
We have a great organisation and to be haranged for not helping out a rival sport is nonsense.
