Subject: Exactly. That money is as good as gone. CLRG is near bankruptcy.
In reply to: that’s not over 's message, "more like a lawsuit defense fund" on 18:22:41 12/06/24 Fri

Article from August 2024: "The costs of dealing with the alleged ‘feis-fixing’ scandal was the chief factor behind the CLRG’s funds depleting from €2.1m at the end of 2021 to €361,754 at the end of last year."

Just look at how fast they're losing money. You are lying to yourself if think this is sustainable even with increased fees and a return to the old format for worlds. We aren't competing this year mainly because we haven't seen any systemic changes, but also because we aren't confident CLRG will remain solvent. They picked the most outrageously expensive venue for Worlds and after the losses from All Irelands start to mount, I question whether worlds will be able to go ahead.
