Cork’s National Football League gate receipt share has fallen dramatically since the team were demoted from Division 1 in 2016.

Having appeared in three straight top-flight finals from 2010 to ‘12 and appearing again in the 2015 decider, Cork accrued between approximately €80,000 to €100,000-plus per annum in those seasons.
