They should sign a big name like doug howlett though.
They should sell Thomond to Limerick Soccer and move to Cork. Use SuperValu Park when they get the bigger crowds and work out of Musgrave otherwise.
Problem solved.
Continually missing out on that home last 16 tie is an absolute killer.
The messing between having games in Thomond and Musgrave needs to stop too. Sell up one to some property development type and keep the province afloat.
They should sell it to Clare GAA to use instead of the cabbage patch.
Itâs conveniently located where they go to be born, educated and employed

Football and rugby deserve a lot of stick for kowtowing to the GGA are great narrative. Inane stadium policies are particularly damaging to Munster as a whole.
Thats actually a great idea. Thereâs no way it could be filled by Limerick sport as weâve seen.
Whatâs the issue with having some games in Musgrave park? They seem to get a good crowd there. With crowds falling away at thomond surely it makes sense to try keep contact with the crowd in cork? Especially when itâs games that would be lost in thomond, theyâre probably selling more tickets for those types of games below in cork than theyâd sell if it was in thomond.
How many people do they employ?
Iâm assuming that running two separate grounds, even if one is for lesser fixtures, isnât making the money required if theyâre cutting jobs. Ulster are supposedly still in a very precarious financial position but havenât resorted to that level of job-cuts.
Just seems like the operations side of Munster has been in a horrific state of underachievement for well over 15 years now.

I would guess between 2-300?
The huns are going bust
They canât really sell Thomond because then they donât have a large enough stadium and if they sell Musgrave then where do Dolphin and Sundayâs Well play?
I donât see how theyâre going to make more money from holding those matches in thomond.
Wasnât there a lot of private money backing Munster at one stage? Financed the Snyman deal if I remember? Where are they all gone, did someone annoy them so they said to hell with thisđ¤ˇ
Several unfortunate events.
Murray and Pom came off central contracts.
Kleyn was playing for Ireland but then went Niq because that ape Farrell wouldnât cap him.
Playing budget of all provinces got cut then too.

Murray and POM had central contracts up until they retired. Kleyn was Munster contracted so I donât see how his wage or contract is affected by being NIQ.
They werenât which was a massive problem between Munster and Ireland.
Kleyn becam niq so takes up some of the niq budget.
Iâm pretty sure they did. The niq only mattered for taking up one of three spots, it wouldnât have affected kleyns wages.
