Mayo GAA Discussion - Part 3

DoctaDee

Welcome to the Mayo GAA discussion thread - Chapter 3, yer trotting them out quicker than a Mills & Boon Romance !.

This is one of the most active forums on Boards.ie. As a result, discussion can get quite heated. But there are certain things posters must realise are simply not OK to post:

- Personal abuse

- Rumours about players'/managers'/anyone's personal lives.

- Trolling.

- Accusations of trolling. Report a post if you suspect it to be trolling.

No point in a court case, home advantage is given to the team pulled out first subject to approval by the CCCC.
The GAA has it covered so I expect a climb down at the press conference.

Yes I've seen loads of people saying this, but I haven't seen anyone produce the actual rule that states this

Have you a link to where it says in the rules that it's subject to cccc approval?

I've just been reading about it and can't find anything other than cccc will confirm fixtures, nothing about a right to change them.
From the official GAA page

Note: Home Venues shall be subject to approval by the Central Competitions Control Committee and shall meet the criteria set down by the National Facilities/ Health and Safety Committee.

Rumor is kildare players going to speak. If call for gpa player boycott, will mayo members abide or cross a potential picket? As others have said this could go to high court and hold up super 8

They don't have any other option. Either that or get kicked out of the championship and lose whatever funding they may get for stadium redevelopment.

If they are kicked out I imagine that they will appeal and maybe to court level. That will be a headache to the GAA An injunction could hold up the Super 8's and Mayo might still have to play in September and lose again. The curse is still in play

Press conference this evening by Cian o Neil. Kildare backing down you would think.

I, for one, welcome our new/old CCCC overlords

Interesting development.
Let's assume Kildare are doing a U-turn (big new stadium on the way...)
They will have serious support in Croke Park and serious momentum behind them (underdog, poorly treated, lost home advantage etc. etc. all true by the way)

I now see them as a tougher proposition than I did when I heard the draw yesterday.

Will mayo have to much for Kildare or could this galvanize Kildare?

Wonder what would happen if they kept missing them in solidarity with Kildare. Would put everybody in a nice little pickle

They f@@k up like in all the All-Ireland Final and miss the wide ball

Any thing to be said for the double header to be in Semple? Any hurling on Saturday?

Needs to be sorted today

If it ends up in Newbridge that's the logical choice. Give the ST holders their tickers and the remainder of the capacity goes on general sale albeit it will be a small number.

All ticket affair.. can hold 10k. 5k tickets each. Rule 42 says no preference to season ticket holders when there are capacity issues.

When the number of season tickets exceeds the capacity. This is not the case here. So season ticket holders would get tickets but no guarantee of seats. But I think that our season tickets should come out of our half of the tickets to make things fairer. This is what happens for all ireland finals - season tickets means the county allocation is smaller.

I see the GAA saying they're not budging, but surely they'll have pressure from Sky to sort this out? It's in no ones interests to have a walkover. There would probably be grounds for refunds on tickets also?

I reckon Kildare will cave but will be well compensated for doing so.

Mustn't have been too many from Kildare at it either ..........

Reduced by 10% for all ticket
So 8000 approx
That's 20% less ..............
5k tickets each ? They go on general sale
Not sure Kildare get 5k at matches anyway ........

Kildare wont be backing down here lads. We deserve our home game and well be togged out in St Conleths. We already hosted Mayo in the league this year with no issues.

Is there room in the calendar for it to be pushed back a week if a resolution isn't found before Saturday?

Both sides have really dig their heels in.

Fourth round is weekend of 7th July

Quarter final 1 is the following weekend

No room for postponment.

Surely one half in Kildare and then at half time everyone goes to Croke Park for the second half is the only practical solution now .

I'd trust our lads to fist it over the bar from five yards out, let's hope we don't mess it up though

No chance of it coming to this anyway
And Cian o Neill has his excuse for defeat already so everyone will be happy

You reckon? Absolute humiliation for either side if they back down now, they've both left no wiggle room at all.
