I did not say dodgey financial dealings I said reneged on paying what was owed. It happened, 100% if you don't believe me well thats up to you. As for trust issues, well in 2014 the then county chairman stood up and said we got council approval for a new roof for Cusack park and we were getting a low interest loan to cover it and it was to be completed by beginning of championship 2016. Where did that go? We were pomised upgrade works to Cusack park and we got a few bucket seats 2 years ago and the back wall of the stand painted and a few other harmless bits. Somehow works carried out over the recent winter came to 400k, can you see where that 400k went to? Because I cannot. There was 40m on the table in 2008 for Cusack park and a new 20,000 capacity stadium going to be built, where is that?? We spent 2m in 1994 on Cusack park and Wexford spent an extra million over what we paid and got twice the venue we got. Can you see past the nose on your face and realize that there are many reasons like this that people who have money won't give it. Now can you please tell me who the 'target audience' is that you mentioned? Aul lads retired with hapes of cash, no mortgage or no kids in college is it??

Just reading through posts below this one.... I haven't seen anything about your draw. I agree that if properly marketed, people outside the county will purchase a ticket. A recent draw between Mohill & Carrick On Shannon was won by someone outside the county. Tickets cost 50eur and as far as I know they raised more than enough to cover the cost of the house and plenty more.

Trust issues 2014 promised new roof for Cusack park to cover full length of pitch and cover seating all way out to front of stand. Planning was granted by Westmeath county council and 2.2m of low interest loan was supposed to be secured from central council. Works were to be completed by championship 2016. Where did that go? 400k allocated for 'upgrade' works and the park was to be closed over the past winter to do it. Can you see where that 400k went? Because I can't. We got a few bucket seats 2 years ago and a lick of paint on the back wall of the stand and a few little bits of jobs. Where is that money going/gone?? We spent nearly 2m in 1994 on Cusack park while Wexford spent 1m more a year later and had a far superior end product. Fine terrace and all seater fully covered main stand. We have been reckless with money down the years so you cannot blame people for not putting their hand in their pockets and instead spending it on the gym or golf membership as you previously said, which is their business not yours. So please, I asked you previously what is the 'target' audience' as you put it?? Chops (Westmeath) - Posts: 812 - 16/05/2025 13:21:22 2610029 Link 1 |

Roscommon draw was a house in Newbridge Kildare. Won by a Meath man. The house was not donated or sponsored by anyone, the cost came out of the 818,000 raised. The costs was 514,000 which 70% was prizes and 20% was digital advertising. Club Rossie has raised nearly 6m net over the last 11 years. We are not spreading our net far enough.
