What is the fundraising rule might be good idea to implement in other clubs.

Mick Kelly Brought them to the Mayo F.A Cup final. As regards the Fundraising rule players wishing to sign have to sell 5 �50 season lotto tickets or the same in �2 tickets . It might seem a bit harsh but players have to have an input in the club. I have a feeling alot of clubs will follow suit. It is essential as i would say alot of clubs committees are sick and tired of doing all the work and players getting away with doing Sweet fanny adams.2 Ballyheane committee told me thay were impressed by the idea.

Whatya think

Can you elaborate on this and tell me what these Crazy decisions are. Im involved with the league at club level and this is the first year the league was run properly. I dont agree with every little thing however i think the committee ran aN EXCELLENT LEAGUE this year so havent a clue where youre coming from. As for leadership thats pure waffle. Both Michael Jennings and Jeremey Dee done good work this season and i always found them helpful and accomodating to deal with so what are you on about

I am surprized to here that there is a problem, cant for the life of be think where its coming from.
I would of thought that the Ladies where in good hand in the Leadership of Jermy Dee.
They may have a funding problem due to sucess,but thats a new challenage.

Anyone at Milebush Park today to see the Mayo U.12s against Sligo/Leitrim? Mayo may have lost 2-1 but the football was absolutely fantastic to watch. A great game from a purist's point of view.

Pity about the weather between wind/thunder.

i say fair play to the snugboro commitee for sticking rigidly with their rules of fundraising before you play for the club.theres far too many lads out there playing for their respective clubs who dont have any interest in the day to day running of the clubs so long as they get their game at the end of the day.if all clubs were to adopt this attitude maybe we'd see a little more commitment to their clubs.as you've stated its always the same lads at each club who are left doing all the donkey work while the other lads just turn up expecting the pitch to be lined,nets up etc each sunday.lads need to get off their asses and get more involved with their clubs.

on another note i was greatly surprised to see westport utd being dumped out of the cup by heatmerchants last week.i played against heatmerchants about five years ago while playing with glenisland utd.no disrespect to the glenisland lads who were playing at the time but we were a mediocre team to say the least and we hammered heatmerchants 5-0.surely they haven't come on that much in a couple years??i could be wrong!!

just wondering who it is that attends these meetings?as in who from each club are expected to attend?managers/commitee members?

**sinabhuil** · 22/01/2007, 9:29 AM

Each club can bring 3 (?) reps. Up to club to decide who goes - usually chairman, secretary and an other. Each club gets one vote at the meeting. Cross Celtic has the same power as Castlebar Celtic.
How are clubs getting on with training? Very hard to train with the lack of astro pitches hard to put up with. Any sign of Ballinrobe developing a pitch?

I stand corrected on the Mayo FA Cup. I think the fundraising rule is a great idea. It is about time players started sharing the burden of running their club. I know Castlebar Celtic membership is €130 (set by the players) and youths €80 (covers buses for the year). I did not know that the Boro had a lotto. The €50 ticket is that for the year or six months. Lets hope all clubs take this idea on board and we you will soon see which players are committed to the club.

Will he bring any players from Celtic? Any new players signing for the town, I heard that Robert Moore was training with the Boro. Are all their new players staying for a second year or will they go back to their original clubs.I think Town will stay in Div 1 without any problem.

and would that �130-�150 cover all the cost for the year, like buses,Insurance, physio etc.. or would the players have to fork out more money again .
