Will probably do the Maynooth trick this time, very handy as it saves you driving into the city.

Go on tell me that one
If I drive to Athlone I may as well keep going !

Drive to Maynooth train station and park there. Hop on the train, brings you right outside Quinn's bar off Jones road. Trains leave all the time, so you won't be long waiting. Been a couple of years since I traveled that way but plenty of Mayo supporters do it. Handy if you couldn't be bothered with trains/buses.

Just remember there is a very small carpark at the station in Maynooth but if you drive past the station and take the left into the town and then the next left, there is a carpark at the end of that road. It's a 10er for the day I think.

If you go a bit further up the motorway there's a big carpark at Louisa Bridge station (Leixlip). Think it's €3 or €4 for the day.

I actually met another GAA ST holder a few mins ago in the same section as yourself. Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to where you end up.

I think, €6 for meself and €3 each for the 2 nephews. Mate pays it as I do the driving, think its €18 return for the 4 of us. Handy to get away ahead of the traffic after the match! (Don't get caught out and get off at the wrong Leixlip afterwards! Louisa Bridge is the stop)

Just a heads up too lads. Don't be tempted not to get a parking tickets (unless you have a consaw in the boot:D ). Ripe ground for the clampers! Last time I was there (Dub match last year I think) there were at least 6 Mayo cars clamped!

yop · 22-07-2016 11:15PM

I put this in the Season ticket thread also, but now looking unlikely Ill be able to make this game along with 2 more of my family. All seated in that group in 306 row TT. If ye know of anyone looking for 3 tickets let me know.

GONE!

Hammer Archer · 23-07-2016 08:53AM

Mod: christinagall4, please read the first post of the thread before posting again, specifically the bit about private life rumours.
Any more of those posts and it'll be a ban.

FT Junior All Ireland Semi-Final: Mayo 2-10 Wexford 0-10. Goals by Conor Keane & Sean Gaughan see us through.
Mayo will now play Kerry GAA in the All Ireland Junior final on Saturday August 6th. Venue & time TBC.

I'm thinking it will be on before the quarter finals that Saturday. Hopefully we do the business next weekend and the juniors get a good support.

Isnt there a minor game on as well?

All the minor quarters bar one are outside croke park so I don't think there will. Nothing scheduled for that day either so the winners will play in Croker the same day as the senior Semis I would say.

Hopefully the powers that be will see the sense of same.It would be nice to get a measure of revenge for last year but I believe junior football in Kerry is of a much higher standard to that in Mayo.We were outclassed in the final last year.Our man in the kingdom Father Tod might be able to clarify same.

Cork vs Donegal minors are playing before their Seniors and then onto ourselves vs Westmeath.

Edit: just seeing that it's the QF weekend that's being discussed.

yop · 23-07-2016 04:28PM

Great win for the lads. Hopefully can get some revenge on Kerry but as said very high level in Kerry.

mayo.mick · 23-07-2016 06:36PM

Just seen there the Mayo masters beat Sligo earlier in Ballymote 1-12 to 0-11.

martyos121 · 23-07-2016 06:48PM

Mad to think that one of Galway, Tipperary or Clare will be in the semis of the AI this year. If we beat Westmeath and get Tyrone in the quarters, we're two manageable games away from the final, which is gas after some of the awful performances we've seen since the start of the league.

Don't want to get ahead of myself though, I just thought that was a bit of a funny one. Great chance for Tyrone as well obviously, and they'd rightly be favourites if we played them.
