30k?! R u living on the moon big lad?!
Re Stevo and his price tags
What about the other clubs where all the players pay to play the game? Do they get minus values?
Club spending...
Lets compile a "rich list" ? Premier League style and count clubs paying players for no return ie. non-coaching.
CIYMS with 30K to be at the top ?
James - how could anyone confirm or deny what clubs pay or do not pay in comparison to one another and why would they? It is a private relationship between a club and the individuals involved the same way my employment contract is.
Anyways, I think we are singing from the same hymn sheet. We are lucky at Stormont as we are somewhat spoilt with the facilities and work put in by Phil and his team. Let's hope this summer is better weather wise than last year to give grounds a chance.

I will happily make it clear now that my last post was based totally on assumptions, but I haven’t seen a lot of denials that they were pretty close to the mark…
I couldn’t agree more that clubs should be allowed to spend their money on whatever they want, but I think that the grounds criteria should be an awful lot tougher, so that clubs must have very good facilities before they can spend their money on players. If they still have some left over then you’re right, good luck to them!
The clubs with the right idea will continue to benefit in the long run…

You're right Jack and there are plenty of them around these days!
Regan west and Kyle McCallan will not play much club cricket this year with all the irish fixtures, so not great value for money.
You want a player who will not get selected for Ireland.
To NCU follower.
Not sure where Kyle McCallan fits into your pound for pound trio as he's not paid by Waringstown or maybe you are referring to weight?
Tis the season for transfer jollies !
How many new pros will there be in Section 1 this year ?
6 / 7 anyone like to comment on club pros signed already ??
Are any locals on the move ? Has the CI cheque book swung into action yet ?
Re Des
Best 3 pound for pound players in NCU?
1-Regan West
2-Ryan Haire
3-Kyle McCallan
Clubs can do what they want with their money.If they want to put it in youth development thats great.I know some clubs pay local players so how about this one.
Who would be the top 3 local players pound for pound in ncu
James
I do not think anybody outside the committee of the clubs involved will have any idea of how much/how people are or are not being paid and what indeed they are being paid for.
I think to make assumptions that one club pays more than another etc is pure speculation. If clubs work hard to raise cash in tough times, feel it benefits them (each club can define benefits whatever way they want - trophies/youth development etc etc)then good luck.
Roll on the new season it has the makings of a good one!
Taito,
Transfer News? Yeah, I got one.... Why on earth are Rangers selling a player who scored 20 goals so far this season?!?
jeff , we are starting early on the rubbish talking this year. Evryones head will be pickled.
On the hockey front, toughest played against probably ricky cox who played for the police years ago. played with?? again a lot of the down boys would be looking for that title but i think sinky white or the big gentleman himself gavin ringland might be up there for toughest (not dirtiest) as we would never be dirty on the pitch.
any more rumours of player transfers?
taito, ok we agreed last night if downpatrick wanted a switch we would help. so if not dirtiest, roughest& toughest?? im just tryn get bit craic going & only hockey players i know are willy quinn, alan gorden, dicky & willy price& the late great brian murray who was rather good at both sports.roll on april rumour has it that i might try umpire a game ( are you allowed too curse at players?)
