Kevin McStay: I’ll struggle to cut Roscommon’s €15,000 weekly costs

The battle most counties face to finance teams is illustrated by Roscommon manager Kevin McStay’s claims that he will struggle to shave more from the estimated €15,000 per week it costs to turn out the county’s senior team.

McStay paid tribute to the Roscommon supporters and business community, who raise funds, and he said he hoped to avoid the embarrassment of being unable to pay for vital team services in 2018.

The €15,000 a week cost, disclosed at the recent Roscommon convention, covers transport, meals, training costs, gear, and other expenses.
