    Grand but let's have zero complaints about wherever council decide so. Watch people flip a gasket now when Limerick is chosen

    The options could be Tuam or Limerick.

    Tuam can't hold capacity for this and is also currently being worked on. Would not be appropriate for this match.



    It is interesting that Mayo seem to have turned down coin toss. 50 / 50 chance of getting Castlebar. Unless they dont want to play Galway in Castlebar???

    Why would they ? Our record against everyone in Cbar is stink
    It’s no advantage to play there
    Genuinely believe that

    It's a bit ironic after the Newry outrage that the county board seem to have scant regard for travelling fans on this occasion

    Somebody said in a previous post that the GAA offered Galway & Mayo the option of flipping coin for home advantage. Galway agreed, Mayo did not. So it will now have to be a neutral venue.

    Board are spot on. Mayo fans love the travelling and away days, especially when reward is our first go at super 8s and chance at knocking out or neighbours to do it!
    Our record against Galway at home is pants so let's play den on a pitch that mitnt suit them like Gaelic grounds.
    Interesting afternoon awaits!
    Anything to be said for a trip to tipp for double header!!!

    I don’t think the GAA would be looking at a venue that’s a 3 and a half hour drive from Castlebar for a 7pm in the evening fixture this time around.

    I'm not saying it's the wrong decision, I'd do the same, just that it's a bit ironic and amusing after the CB complaining to the media when Newry was announced. The game will likely go to Limerick and Mayo fans will complain even though the Mayo CB caused this

    Taking Salthill off the table is very considerate to fans!

    You go onto mayoblog and post guff and bile continuously and come on here and try and act impartial. Judging by your username your a 40 year old man living two alter egos online. Fairly sad

    Mayo have never lost a qualifier in Castlebar. That's an incredible record

    I thought games this round were supposed to be on neutral venue ?
    If so then why offer Galway/Mayo option of playing at home ?

    I am not allowed discuss …

    Croker would be as convenient as Limerick to some fans, especially Mayo, but I think Croker is holding a concert?

    Why are the GAA holding concerts during the championship season is another question.

    What’s wrong with Hyde Park?. If it’s going to work for Roscommons home game in the super 8s then there is no reason for it to work for a round 4 qualifier.

    I'm just guessing but thoughts about Hyde Park are if the GAA were willing to go to the lengths of a coinflip, even though it should be a neutral game, then Hyde park is either being renovated this week in prep for next week or they think it's too small
