Fair enough, if you'd said "contrast" I'd have picked you up right. Dublin GAA is probably a bit better off than the rest of the country but, in general, GAA facilities do tend to be better than soccer.
I think that might be generational, at least "down the country", by that I mean that soccer only became really widespread (every parish) in the last 15 years of so. So the first players are only coming to the stage where they might be organisers & funders. The other thing is that soccer doesnt seem to attract the "pride of the parish" mentality and so probably a bit harder to fundraise. Even for the players, many, including myself, play for the laugh when it suits, wouldnt be "serious" sport.
Until it comes to playing for his country Teatime!!
