Munster GAA chief executive Kieran Leddy has contested the figures which project that the province stands to make 26% more in gate receipts from a standalone round-robin league in the spring.

As part of his financial analysis of the All-Ireland SFC League, calendar fixtures review committee member Conor O’Donoghue estimates that detaching the province’s senior football championship from the All-Ireland SFC would reap almost €1m in gate receipts.
