Mayo GAA Discussion Part 2

PARlance

Bit of common sense on show:

Mayo GAA have confirmed that the third round of the County Senior & Intermediate club football championships will now be played on Saturday/Sunday October 1/2.
The games had been originally fixed for Saturday/Sunday September 24/25 — the week after the All-Ireland Senior Football Final.
However, after a meeting of the Mayo GAA CCC on Tuesday night, a decision was taken to push the games back by seven days.

NO IDEA why they didn't do that in the first place
Even if just in the event of a draw and replay

I see some people are already planning the victory parade before a ball has been thrown in.

Dublin will be only too delighted to see that carry on.

Why? It won't actually have any bearing on the actual outcome.

I think the Dubs have other things to be thinking about other than what is or isn't happening in Mayo, tbh.

It's going to be a squeeze to be done for the club provincials.

Unavoidable scenario unfortunately

Just wondering - are the ST holders with worse tickets (outer blocks of Cusack) in seating groups or on their own?
I'm flying solo, got 309, it's definitely not the worst ticket as it's far enough back to get a decent perspective.

I think Croke Park need to be clear on how many ST holders are in each county in the final and where they will be seated.
This random allocation just leaves dedicated fans disappointed due to the lack of transparency in the process.

You can't please all of the people all of the time.
Dublin and Mayo have the highest subscription of STs, so someone is going to end up in worse seats than others no matter how transparent you make the process.

Stop complaining about where you're sitting in the stadium! You're in. You have the golden ticket in your hands!

Yep. There are 10,000 season Dublin & Mayo season ticket holders, 5000 per county. They can't all sit in the best seats between the 45's, as much as they might want to.

I'm not complaining about my allocation just trying to get an idea of maybe why some folks got pushed out to 301/311.

Also, see my post in the ST thread re Competition for tickets in Cork for Cusack, 307 RR tickets.
Croke Park are assigning free tickets which are then getting raffled off. These freebies are in better locations than some season ticket holders are getting assigned, which I don't think should be happening.

Of course you can't seat all the Mayo & Dublin ST holders in 305/306, but it should be possible to host them all (bar the Dub Hill ST holders) in fairly central lower or upper deck blocks without having to assign seats in 301 or 311.

Don't want to start an argument on it, was just making an observation in the first instance.

Season ticket holder (3) since 2009. Seating group set up since 2012 (same 10 every year) Tickets arrived this morning, 302 Y.

There are 3,700 approx Mayo season ticket holders that qualified for final tickets. I'd estimate there's about 4,200 season ticket in Mayo between Croke PArk and Cairde Mhaigheo.

Bunny Colvin

306, can't have any complaints with that! Last final we got put near the Davin with the rest of the season ticket holders, so happy out with this one.

Oldtree

Got tickets in post, lovely. Gonna be a long week, I am ragged at this stage

Fr Tod Umptious

Have just got a pair of tickets from one of the title sponsors of the All Ireland Senior Football Championship.

Over the moon !.

They are in the post so I don't know what section yet.

How do ye think the team, and particularly the back line, will setup next week?

You'd imagine Keegan would be on Connolly again. After that it's hard to know what is going to happen!

I'd say Keane won't start and also feel that Parsons may be on the pitch from the get go. Also wondering is there any merit in Freeman or Barry Moran being put into the front line as well just so that instead of working our way up the pitch through the full team of Dubs, we could send in a few high balls? Reason I say this is that the worst thing that could happen is having our forwards starved of the ball. At least with some good height and solid hands we should be able to give them something to work with.

The six o'clock angelus has now been replaced by the Green and Red of Mayo in our house!

I said after semi Rochford and the team have been lucky in a few ways this year BUT we need luck to win the final. Starting with no injuries to key players that always seem to affect us and not the opposition in the run up to finals
And one thing about this year is that if there is an injury we probably won't find out till just heifer throw in Sunday

The only thing that's bothering me is we where playing unreal football over the last few yrs and only managed to draw with them . We are playing pure sh1te this yr and expect it to change in the final that's what worries me.

Wasn't ment for this thread but I'll leave it here anyway
