    Are they not going to make one million from ticket sales for the house in Dublin?

    15,000 tickets by €100 is not equal to the cost of that house.

    If they sell all of them they will make over 1m from it.

    A lot of that money will be used for the work on the Hyde.

    I suppose whatever is left when the Hyde is up to spec for a Connacht final will be used for CoE. I also think there is some money already in place for CoE from that fundraiser in NY .

    CB would do well to pay all outstanding bills they have at the moment. Once again a lot of people still waiting to get paid for services provided. How can they stand over this type of practice??

    Get buying those 100 euro tickets. Only 6000 sold so far so the house is paid for, but not much profit unless we get a good run on sales.

    On centers of excellence, they are white elephants when our urban areas are being over run with soccer pitches. GAA is almost running away from the challenge of urbanisation of modern society ploughing so much money into fields that are so far from all the other facilities people need.

    Cunningham looking outside county for players with Roscommon connections it seems.

    Kerry born Conor Cox and Leitrim top scorer last season Keith Beirne are both going to be training with Roscommon squad. Rumours that former Dublin under 21 winning goalkeeper JB Carthy is also being looked at.

    Hopefully he can unearth a few defenders and midfielders too :)

    I thought the house was donated by the builder?

    How many were you expecting them to sell? If a county as small as Roscommon end up selling around 800,000 worth of tickets I would consider it good work by the sellers than poor.

    I was expecting them to sell the amount they intended to sell.
    With all the advertising In dublin and the commuter belt, I thought they'd do a lot better.
    Time to yet, I suppose.

    They should push for companies to offer a ticket through the Small Benefit Exemption Scheme where you don't pay tax on the value. Same as a One4All voucher. So if you're on the higher rate you save €48 out of the €100 price.

    As this is a 'lottery' I'm not sure if the tax rules allow it but still.

    Thankfully clann doing a great service to the population here in monksland. So vast majority of local population delighted to be part of clann.

    Of course if you had a CoE in monksland it would make it easy for the few unhappy people to perhaps form a break away club. But that won't happen now.

    No, house was purchased at cost price or close to. The donation was forgoing any commercial profit.

    County Board Treasurer David O’Connor said on shannonside radio tonight that the number they intended to sell was 10,000 tickets and that 70% of the tickets sold so far have a Dublin address.

    I think it was her that I read the target was 15,000.
    Better odds for me at 10,000!

    It is capped at 15k tickets, 10k might just be a realistic target they have set for themselves.

    you'd imagine that expats would be a huge market for this draw?

    According to Frankie Dolan, Brian Stack has been told rest up for 6 months so I think we can add him to list of players that likely won't be playing county for a while.

    Ciarán Murtagh, John McManus, Cathal Compton, Tadhg O Rourke all look to be leaving for the year and it's unlikely Diarmuid Murtagh plays any part in the league due to severe eye injury.

    Fintan Cregg, Conor Devaney and Cathal Cregg from accounts have at least committed themselves for the league.
