GPA planning GAA sticker collection

The Gaelic Players' Association are believed to be close to agreeing a deal which would see GAA players being bought and sold in 2004 - as part of a sticker collection.

The money making scheme has been in operation for years in the Premiership and the GPA are keen to get in on the act which would also mean distributing sticker albums.

GPA chiefs are confident about the venture which follows hot on the heels of the revelation that they are keen to launch a new GAA computer game onto the Irish market.
