It depends on how you define full time. If full time is 30 full tie players on €5k a week and all the full time admin staff that goes with it then it probably isnt going to be ever sustainable.
On the other hand if its 15-20 players on about €2,000 a week and the balance of players on about €500 a week playing part time (A league and under 20 players) and some full time admin staff then maybe at some point in the future it would be sustainable!
I do beleive facilities need to improve to get the crowds. While facilities at most grounds are adequate people still expect more. Irish people see stadia like the premiership grounds and expect Cobh,UCD And Shels to have the same thing. This is because Irish people in the main are morons.
As regards the eternal queston of how we get more people to matches?
Well lads without being smart if I knew the answer to that one I would'nt be working in Basketball!
