Promotion candidates eager for a slice of €1m action

The battle for promotion from Division 1B has turned into a money race with favourites Clare, Limerick, and Wexford desperate for a more substantial slice of the €1m-plus Allianz League gate receipt cake.

Although the money from Allianz League gates are pooled, counties are entitled to retain a percentage of them, which are considerably larger in Division 1A than 1B.

The GAA have also been dangling the carrot of providing more money to counties who market their home matches.
