Ha Harsh I think you have rumbled him like I have. Salt-N-Pepa ah push it , push it real good!Originally Posted by Harsh ref
Think I hit a nerve kevin haha but what I said yesterday was right I know a team few weeks back where down to play sat at 2 o clock they got call off member of Aul to say game was changed to sat nite in mayfield and Aul fixture secretary told the person that was calling to tell team the game had to be played no excuses I won’t mention they name of person who phoned the club but the club where told game was being played end of so saying times can’t be changed is lie.
Utter nonsense,,,,,,,,
Nice pints in Aghabullogue?
What’s nonsense
True story ..so now all teams know the can refuse to play games if its not on the day and time that was stated
Yes if it’s outside the official fixture time.
Plenty more rain on the way this week if games or called again scrap the season ha
Astro mid week should even be considered at this stage , there isn't a field in the county without surface water
Could be wrong but talking to lad today who said Astro gone up in price from what they were paying last year
It's a limited market an those that have can define the price.
Those that don't have to fork out.
In general the price of an astro is over the 150 at the very least.
Wasn't the case last year ,less again the season before,,,,,,times have been tough .
Crazy money for clubs that can’t afford it 150 pitch 60 ref 20 wash gear 230 euro before you kick a ball our clubs mad you’d have to have 23 players charging 10 euro ahead to cover it.
If lads want to play they will have to fork out simple as
True cause if lads don’t play club at a loss it’s ok for clubs that have money behind us smaller club survive on script they collect
No way any player will pay €10 a game. Hard to get any money off fellas these days. Astro pitches have gone through the roof, most places €150 without lights probably €200 with lights. More rain due, can't see many games going ahead this weekend.
Agree hard enough now getting fellas to turn up never mind getting money off um
At some point lads have to stop blaming everyone else the AUL, the weather, lack of players, no funding, the cost of Astros etc.
You got to grab the bull by the horns and get your own house in order set out your own high standards, get on funding and fundraisers and yes at times the price of an Astro will be required.
Be upfront and honest with players this is what is expected here no one’s forcing them to be at a club.
Success will follow might take an extended period but it will come and the club will be better for it in the long run.
There is plenty of clubs who will
half arse it I’m sure they would welcome people with similar mind set with open arms.

The Glorious Business league teams seem to have no issue hiring astros every week whatever the cost . Come on everybody lets all go to the business league with AUL legend
More than welcome Kevin. Games every week of the season. Very little of this called off games nonsense! Apparently terrible teams and players too, so you would walk the league and cup competitions sure, guaranteed to be playing at Turners Cross and get out of Cork in Munster Junior & FAI Cups. You’d win every week with the lack of competition.
But let’s stick to the mighty AUL will we? Are we all looking forward to another weekend on the couch!?
I couldn't care less if games get played or not I am well retired, haven't kicked a ball in 5 years . I am just a spectator now when the weather is nice. I aint standing in the rain to watch AUL or CBL matches I am made of soap I will wash away
