How much could you buy a LOI club for?

You think Waterford has a population of over 100,0000.....!?!?

Divide that by half and you're still way over....

200,000 would indeed still be way over.

Just wondering how much LOI teams get from selling football shirts, scarfs, etc?

Looking at this....................a fair few got the Pats jerseys.............

so a thousand or so a year = 30,000 grand or more?

I bought a Pats jersey this year - for the euro matches - surely in euro campaigns clubs can make some serious money?

The margins on shirts are poor. Obviously, a bit better for a club like Pats, but 1,000 a year is a very generous estimate of sales. In the grands scheme of things, merchandising isn't a huge revenue stream in this league.

Good vigilance.
