Under 19 Running Costs

From Ballybofey maybe. From Galway, no chance, especially if you have a season-long association.

Harps will play 9 home games this season minimum (excludes friendlies and cup games).
That's say 27 hours of a Chartered Physio's time for €1000, or an hourly rate of €37.

That seems cheap to me, before you factor in that the above assumes they never bring a physio to training or away games, and none of their players will get injured requiring attention by a physio for an entire season. If Harps are getting that level of support for €1000, fair play to them.

It may not be in the U19 budget but we pay rent on this.

If it's elite U19's throw in Linos and a 4th Official and you're up to over 300.

Ref costs about are all local based (same refs that ref in junior league). Ref cost around €80, 2 linesmen cost about €35 each & I dont think their is a 4th offical in U 19 league

People tend to underestimate costs e.g. the figure of €1000 per annum for physio for a season is comical.

I've seen it mentioned that Cork City's costs about €50k per annum, and they train at their own base in Bishopstown.
