Apparently they aren't selling as many in US as they expected.

Did the Treasurer say that / was there a breakdown of the locations published somewhere? That'd be interesting to see.

I hear they are on course to hit a million next week

I was talking to one of the committee members 10/12 days ago.
They know the break down but not sure they will be publishing them.

900k figure was passed at the weekend.

Was just checking the website for places to buy them and noticed this pic. Why are 3 people sitting laughing at a TV that's not even switched on?

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.

In just 4 months 1 million euro in ticket sales was passed today and that was their intended target to sell they say.

Significant win for clann tonight in division 1 u20, beating a brigids team that called on members of 4 in a row minor team. Clann started strong, but survived a spirited brigids revival to win 0-15 to 1-10.

We got a ticket number just short of 9400 yesterday

Id pass no heed on ticket numbers,the physical tickets had high numbers from the off.
Supposed to be around 12k sold altogether.

Pique

Seller in Caseys today said nearly 13k.

...I'd say there is some buzz around the club tonight with this draw...

Pique

Is it being streamed?

What an unbelievable effort from all involved, a massive contribution to Roscommon GAA and hopefully we can finally upgrade the Hyde and work on the centre of excellence. €943000 net profit is nothing to be sniffed at by the 6th smallest county in Ireland. Well done to all involved.

Addle

Wow, that was a phenomenal result from club rossie.
Big congratulations to them.

He meant population.

What difference does geographical size make if there are very few people? Dublin is a tiny county geographically.

It matters when we've no GAA club in our largest population centre and our 3rd biggest population centre plays in a different county

You're just saying what I said with different words.

It's all about population!

I'm pretty sure the poster wants a new club formed.about 3 mile away from a current one.

I presume he means Monksland.

Which is the second biggest population centre in County Roscommon.

It is and Johnstown pitch is a few miles away.Is there really any need for another club ,why would someone in Monksland not play with Clann?

Not when you include Athlone
Clubs on the Westmeath side are allowed recruit from the connacht side of the river.
Roscommon needs another club on the edge of athlone

What about Clann? And Ballaghaderreen's surely not the third largest town, especially if you're counting Monksland? Roscommon, Boyle, Castlerea all definitely a good bit bigger than Ballagh aswell.

There is a decent part of Athlone on the west of the Shannon which is officially Westmeath. I didn't know this myself until a few years ago. Enon Gavin (among others) came from within this area, but played with Clann and Roscommon his entire career.

Geographically it's in county Roscommon .
It's afaik only in the last 30 odd years it was incorporated into the Westmeath postal area.
