I was going to say thst Scully was being punished for skipping the queue in JM Reidys that time.
Better Dubs make better people etc.

You could quite possibly see a good few of TK’s vintage step away together in the not too distant future, for various reasons. Between Conlon, SOD, David Mc, Duggan, Malone etc are a lot nearer their end than beginning

They have made a big push in this over the last few weeks - ticket sales have now surpassed the win a house in lahinch fundraiser last year.
Night and day in proactivity compared to the old executive.
Seniors played Tipp in a challenge yesterday. 4 20 minute quarters with a lot of lads getting gametime. Panel being trimmed this week.
In fairness, they had to push the draw back by an extra month and had to absolutely plough into advertising this month to catch up on sales, so I’d say costs make the profit a little less than you’d think, even with ticket sales reaching targets.
Still, they could have cut their losses and simply settled for less. Good to see that they are at least capable of pushing it. Chairman has the clubs fairly energised about moving tickets which is a huge sea change compared to the last 25 years or so
The clubs getting €30 out of every ticket has more to do with them being energised

Exactly. This isn’t a goodwill thing from the clubs for the heck of it.
That €30 is the carrot, nothing wrong with that. It’s quid pro quo

He was married to a sister of Richie and Phil Bennis, used to some serious flaking and the rest between them in matches throughout the 70s.
Apparently she’s none too well herself. Jackie had been in hospital since Nov and the missus couldn’t get up to visit him as too unwell to travel.

The difference in general participation and overall positivity surrounding the club game and county set ups over the past 18/24 months has been incredible.
Hats off to the county board and more to come
