membership seem very dear, or is that the going rate for most if not all the super leauge team's ??

Welll think for one moment,it could cost upto �10,000 to run a club with two junior teams.
so you may pick up �5000 from membership, but you still got to find the other �5000 if you ask me membership in any club should be �200 per player. wnen you think of the fine pitches they now play on.I also think clubs like the League give a good service.:)

i think �200 per player is way over priced. and does membership at�150-�200 Include full Insurance, to cover a players wage's and medical bills if he was to break his leg and out of work for 3-6months or he was to tear a hamstring and needed 10-15 session's of physio @ about �40 a session ???:confused: :confused:

You must be joking. The insurance cover is very limited and will not include physio. The membership fee covers league affiliation, pitches, training equipment, refs, fines, etc..
The league affiliation covers insurance - Public Liability to third parties, (clubhouses/carparks need specific mention in the policy and may cost more) some limited (€1,000??) for personal injury/loss of earnings for players and no cover for physio.
A player cannot expect to get the type of cover mentioned by grape vine for €3 a week. If players are concerned that they are not covered, and generally they should be concerned, they should seek their own cover. CICE provide general accident cover including sports injuries. People should beware that the cover can be costly and the salesmen can be very pushy. Make sure you know exactly what you are buying and read the small print. Players with dependant spouses or children or players with mortgages or other committments should have seperate cover. Due to the number of accidents and the costs most clubs will be unable to help.
Any other suggestions? Can/do clubs offer additional cover? Any other companies offering cover apart from CICE?

In our case it is 150 euro per year for membership.
Over the last 2 seasons I have had up on 10 physio sessions for "club" related injuries, all out of my own pocket, also the fact that I was off work for 2 days and the fact I don't get paid when I am off sick left me well out of pocket.
But that is something I accept as we are not a "pro" club with big money behind us, using lotto tickets to pay for our refs, washing the jerseys and that.

Your dead right yop. Its good that you accept it too. I hear alot of players moaning about " will the club pay for my Physio bla bla bla" The same feckers wouldnt sell a lotto ticket if it was the end of the world. However its also important that clubs dont pay injury bills for the "star" players and not the ordinary Joe soaps or this will open up a huge can of worms :mad:

i find it very strange that you think it is good for a player to "ACCEPT IT" if he get's injuryed playing ball, if a person was to get injuryed at work i'am sure they would expect there employer to cover the cost???(not that it affect's as i retired now) but having play both soccer & GAA in time and got alot more injuryies play the GAA, the GAA where always behind the players and covered all there injury costs,which only seem correct to me.. look's like soccer is really falling behind the GAA in player welfare dept.:( :o

Im really only talking about minor injuries and not that of a serious nature. As for the dirty GAA we all know they can afford the above as they are full of money and where the domonante party for years:mad:

Lads,

How will Mayo get on this weekend away to Donegal - think it be alot tougher than people expects as i think they have a few injuries worries going into the game

pay upor else

I think we all a agree on one thing, football does come at aprice.Some must pay more than others.wheather its �200 or �100 one at the end of the day must make ends meet. and no club offical should have to bare the cost, because of some selfish footballers,who think they are gods gift to man or woman.Its about time they the players face up to the hard facts,:mad: there is no free lunch,and everythink has to be paid for.
I would of thought that every player had at leased medical insurrance from one of the big three.V.H.I. BUBA VIVAS.
But it apears not.the old cleque the club will pay.or the some benefactor will provide out of his pocket.Well that may of happen in the pased,but today no.
so for the last time players please get your heads out of the sand!!!

they seem to have built up a bit of momentum and theres a fair bit of belief in themselves at the moment so i don't see why they wouldn't be able to pull a decent result out of the trip.all the lads are really playing for the cause at present also.mayo to win 2-1.2-0 if the defence keeps up its recent excellent record!

i think it might be tough this weekend - a number of players out for a number of reasons but hopefully they still get a win, it is also Ciaran Kelly last game for Mayo before he moves to better things - good luck to him - fine keeper

Where is he going? I thought he already tried the semi-pro game with Sligo. Is Kenneth O'Malley (B'robe) still with Sligo or is he playing any soccer at all?
