Anyone have a plan or calendar of the coaching courses being run over the winter?

It seems Edenderry Gaa are looking at a big development of their own , somewhere in the region of €6 million is what is been talked about with Astro pitch, 3 grass pitches , a bar , swimming pool and gym complex and more . It just seems crazy that an amateur game is going to ridiculous ends to compete at senior club football in Offaly or in any county . How could any other club compete with the likes of this . The Gaa are really letting things get out of hand , Dublin are a multi million euro machine every year with numerous big deals , I also read Jim McGuinness saying Kerry gather €3 million raising money to compete at county leave , gone are the days of a surprise team winning the all Ireland .

Edenderry swimming pool is right beside Edenderry GAA so they wont be building a pool. And they already have a bar facility and pavilion so that wont be needed either.
