Ulster chief warns of hike in cost of buying tickets

ADMISSION charges may have to be increased if the Ulster Council is to be able to meet its continuing financial commitments, according to officials.

Secretary Danny Murphy warned ‘dispersible income’ remains heavily dependent on the returns from the senior football championship.

“We have worked diligently to assist all of our constituent units and we shall endeavour to meet the challenges that lie ahead,’’ he writes. “The costs of running our games programme are also evident but it needs to be stated that we have not increased our admission charges in line with the rest of the Association and that we have maintained all of our existing programmes to date.
