Galway in financial turmoil

[Dodge]

Read what I posted Stu. I said I don't care if he thinks its a glamour tie or not.

Define a glamour tie? Is it Sunderland bringing a full strength squad? Liverpool bringing their youths? Who honestly gives a toss as long as it sells out and we do well from it?

I thought it was painstakingly obvious that posting those links to sportfile was an example that a so called "glamour" tie, doesn't mean ****. That Irish people will turn out in force for any big name club.

Next time I will try to be clearer, spelling it out perhaps.

Thats an awfuil lot of posting for someone who doesn't care that I think its not a glamour tie. Which is all I commented on.

Pineapple called me into question, Dodge. so I felt I needed to explain myself.

I think Galway should be deduted 6pts or more in the league, players put in a big effort and they were not told the truth from the start, sad day for the club and the league.

we've been in this state for well over a year now (earlier post even shows that) yet as I remember not much happened last season. It doesn't look like we're in a huge hole so we should be able to sort it out without too much more fuss.

Fuss? some of the players have to pay morgages and put food on the table, Galway united in my opinion decieved supporters and players.

Relax, nobody is going to be kicked to the streets, or, starve to death. This has happened due to the fact that we havent had a home game on a normal night for a while now. There are plenty of fundraisers etc.. coming in the near future which will help in some way.

The players have agreed to the wage deferral.

Will be heading along tonight with a couple of mates. Hopefully the weather holds out reasonably dry.

Oddly I'm taking some inspiration from US College Football on this. One of the big problems with the estimates is that many clubs, not just Galway, seem to take a short-termist view towards estimating crowds. Looking at the last one or two seasons simply isn't enough to decide a pattern. If you're conservative estimate, never mind an optimistic one, is based on a period this short then you run the risk of ruin. Steady growth can only be achieved by looking at the long game. Recent success, both on the pitch and off it, should never be allowed to cause irrational exuberance. Instead look at that success as something to build around cautiously making incremental moves rather than throwing it all in the pot at once, as appears to have happened here.
