Sorry if already discussed.

I purchased a Cairde Mayo season ticket yesterday. My friend who I travel to most games with is also going to purchase the ticket. My question is in regards to tickets to Croke Park games. If we are both guaranteed a ticket, is the option there when you are purchasing tickets to enter two season ticket numbers so that you can get tickets next to each other?

I'm sure this is a common issue, any help is greatly appreciated. Hon Mayo.

When collecting your tickets, hand in the two cards together and you'll get seats beside each other no problem.

Sneebly · 10-11-2014 1:51pm

Great thanks, I'm unaware of how it works. So I order my tickets online and then can collect them from McHale Park? And as long as I bring the two together then i'll be able to get those beside each other?

Thanks for your help.

No you don't order them online. Before a game you'll get a text message giving you the time and date for collection at McHale Park. Your ticket will be reserved for you every time.

Yeah if you bring the two cards together you'll be able to get tickets beside each other.

The Cáirde tickets have changed this year, full details here;

http://mayoclub51.com/mayo-gaa-season-tickets/cairde-mhaigheo-season-ticket/

They are now similar as the Croke Park season ticket, as in you won't have to collect your tickets from Castlebar anymore. They will be in your online account same as Croke Park tickets have been since 2009. You should also be able to set up seating groups same as the Croke Park season ticket, where up to 10 can be seated together, again same as Croke park ticket since 2009. How to set up seating groups here;

Croke park seems to have taken over the Cáirde Mhaigheo tickets this year. Hopefully there will be no more problems with scanners in Castlebar like there was earlier this year!

So we are going to have attendance clocked this year :pac:

At least we get this:
Cáirde Mhaigheo umbrella and beanie hat – for all Cairde Mhaigheo season ticket holders, existing and new.

Anyone read the Morts book ?

km79 · 13-11-2014 12:04pm

Yes
Thought it was a great read to be honest. Good insight into the demands of being an intercounty player. Something that is often forgotten by us when we give out :cool:

Ken lost his most recent final a few weeks back, Masters, the poster km79 has been posting long before then.

Based on that the winners of the Coannugh and Leinster Championships play one of the last two B side qualifiers and the winner of Munster and Ulster play the last two A siders.

That makes it once again a really tough path for Mayo in 2015

If you loose to Galway then you go into the B side which is full of the likes of Donegal, Tyrone, Derry, Arnagh and Down, and even Tipp.
And if you negotiate your way through three rounds of that you end up playing most likely Dublin in the QF

And even if you do win Connaught there is a good chance that you meet one of the above nordies in the QF

Always_Running · 14-11-2014 1:55am

Anyone lucky to be included or unlucky to miss out?

Fowler87 · 14-11-2014 7:04pm

Morgan Lyons of Ballyhaunis should feel hard done by. Had a great year for Haunis but future looks bright for the young buck as he has pace to burn. Good footballer.

Defiler Of The Coffin · 16-11-2014 5:40pm

Hard luck to Achill who were defeated by Oileain Arainn 0-16 to 0-8 in the Connacht Junior Club final today.

Actually this is not the case according to the Master Fixture list
http://livegaelic.com/news/gaa-master-fixture-list-broken/

Leinster and Munster Play A sides and Connaught and Ulster play B

So if Mayo have to negotiate the back door then they would play Ulster Champs in QF and Leinster champs\A side qualifier in SF

HighKing33 · 22-11-2014 8:19pm

Just head to your nearest auld lads' pub and ask the bar staff to put it on for you. From my experiences of living in Dublin the obvious pubs to head to for GAA matches, e.g. Quinns or The Big Tree are actually the least palatable. There are some heads in Dublin who freak out at Gaeilge being broadcast at them from TV sets but you can just laugh at them.

Fr Tod Umptious · 22-11-2014 8:26pm

Remember it's not live on TG4, its deferred so it will be on around 4pm.

Some stupid hurling match on live.

Always_Running · 23-11-2014 9:05pm

One-sided Connacht final the game was over as a contest when Corofin scored their first goal. Cillian O Connor well held by Fitzgerald who must be in his mid 30s now? Dillon best again for tubber remains to be seen if he'll give county football another year.

I'd hold him myself if the flipping ball was at the other end of the field all day. That Gibbons lad had an off day today, I mean a stinker.
Having said that, Corofin will give any club team a game with young Dunne and Lundy hard to handle up front and a damn good mid field pairing.

homeofhurling · 24-11-2014 1:11am

as my father used to say the only county that will bring sam across the shannon is galway, i am 47 years old watching gaa matches since 1978 i think he is right, nothing again mayo who have had some great footballers but i think itsnot to be for them, Galway will be back on top in connacht soon and will win sam.

boosabum · 24-11-2014 9:47am

It's amazing how it still requires a large Mayo input to get these galway teams to win anything.
O'mahony and now Roachford

And the irony in that is your username and that statement.....

HighKing33 · 24-11-2014 12:45pm

Corofin move the ball better than most county teams - exhibition stuff and they had the workrate to match it. The kicking, use of space and point-taking was really special - if the Galway seniors could emulate that they'd be a force.

Balintubber gave so much posession away that they were never really in it. Diarmuid O'Connor I thought had a good game. He's not the biggest player in the world and probably not as gifted as the brother but he's a very clever footballer, always makes use of the ball. Not a bad thing for Mayo.

Absolutely was top notch. They will be hard stopped. The ONLY weakness I could see in them was when Tubber ran at them at pace, I can see Connolly causing problems, but some of the scores and support play was excellent. They are at a v high standard.

Galway need to win Connacht first before talking about Sam.

Fr Tod Umptious · 24-11-2014 2:23pm

Now that there is no Mayo representative in the All Ireland Club series the decks are clear for everyone to be involved for the county team in the FBD and League

It's like you get off reminding us all about Mayo not landing Sam.

We all know Mayo aren't perfect but we have been consistently one of the top teams in the country for a few years now. I'm sure under Connolly and Holmes, the players will continue to push on and better themselves. Myself, and all of the other supporters in here will continue to follow them on their journey, win, lose or draw. You're in the wrong thread tbh.

Nope, been to how many finals now, won how many semi finals? Don't call that crumbling?
Didn't we win a league title in the last 10 years? That was a final?

You seem v bitter about Mayo GAA? Watch your blood pressure there

We might as well give up if we were to follow your thinking/philosophy.Fortunately the vast majority of Mayo supporters will continue to offer their unwavering support in the quest to win the All Ireland,shall make it all the sweeter if and when it does happen.Overt negativity serves no useful purpose,constructive criticism by all means.

Echo the sentiments re the game yesterday.Corofin were excellent,potential All Ireland winners.They brought a massive support,no shame on Ballintubber.They'd a fine season overall, Diarmuid o Connor does seem to have some potential to excel at inter county level.
