Nearer £35k, especially if there's another one to add! Not Ralph surely?
By the way, who out of that lot is not getting paid? Who cares? If CI want to buy the league and have the money, good luck to them.
Can we please move on to discuss more important things!
RE James
You have missed another CI pro for your list they have signed - any guesses as to who it may be?
Clue - they came here as a pro many years back, married and are now resident.
RE James and Stevo
Bearing in mind the mccrums arent playing at CI and 4 of the others arent getting paid I would guess you might have a bit of change out of £35k!
James...
You'll never get a figure from an official source but I would estimate 25K plus ! Not the only club with deep pockets !
Folks
Just to let you know dundrums website is back up and running after being hacked. Please pay a visit and contribute to the forum. Those of you who done so last year will testify to good humour that goes on in it.
I think that Cricket Ireland should speak to the people in charge at CIYMS and get some advice- since they are obviously light years ahead of our national body in terms of contracting their entire squad!

No luck at the moment but that could change anytime soon. And there was me thinking that a trip to the bay inn couldn't get any better............silly shirts and polish dancers!
How's dundrums preparations going for new season. Have the covers been recovered from murlough bay? Do you have a pro? Or has the world financial crisis hit dundrum!?
Good luck in section 2

Thought we'd sorted out the issue of tips/betting on this Channel? Keep it going mate and hope the money keeps coming in.
Lapdancing though????....MMMMM not so sure about that topic!!!!!
RE STEVO
Stevo do you not read the papers or watch the news?? - what businessman or sugar daddy is going to give a club say £20k out of his company at the moment. Wake up and smell the coffee.
As Wayne quite rightly says and I think someone from CI commented on recently is that the money is raised by hard working committee members and the sportsmans dinner run by both clubs are the reason for them being able to reimburse players and achieve success on the playing field.
CI were a Section 3 team 4 years ago and CSNI were in Section 2 a couple of years back - They should be commended not criticised by people like you.
Andy - we pay 2 subs at CSN. One to play cricket and one to join the sports association which gets us access to the facilities etc. I assume our subs go into the pot that is used to support the ongoing maintenance and capital that is incurred on grounds/the pavillion.
Stevo - Would you have any idea of how much can be raised at a sportsmans dinner and a ballot for a golf day if a lot of good work is put in? Have you tried to do this at your "small club". Before openly accusing people of lying why don't you try and do something proactive. It is all about leveraging the clubs members and their contact bases which we have done well and it looks like CI have done well. Maybe the advantage is a large member base who are prepared to support events like this? To get 1 person/sugar daddy to stump up cash in any significant sum in any envrionment is tough and has NEVER happened in any club I have been involved with in the last 16 years and that is a fact.
As for sponsored walk (I won't take offence given the speed I run) this has nothing to do with raising club funds. it is 100% for charity if you read the posting.
Paying players..
Wayne its great that you are starting to internally / externally fundraise, good luck. I'm afraid your comments dont pull the woll over anyones eyes. No sugardaddies ? Come on. Fundraising via sponsored walks certainly didnt pay for 3 of the best 5 NCU players to be at the CSNI club in 2008. How can us smaller clubs believe that. Honesty or silence is often the best option.
Think the smaller clubs could use a few of the bigger sides backers in todays economic climate !
