My dads mate and the man who I've traveled to Mayo matches with for the last 35 years has now had to get a walking aide due to failing health, so we are hoping to bring him to Mchale park for the Roscommon game. We can drive up close which is grand, but from there to the stand I've no experience or can't find an answer or an email or phone number to contact to find out. But is there disabled access or lifts or seats for someone like this man? Any help appreciated.

Parnell Passes & season tickets get you in for free. Not much consolation to someone who only decides to go the day of the match I suppose.

I'd love if Tuam was the main stadium rather than Pearse though. Have great memories from Tuam but not many good ones from Pearse mainly because of the traffic. That being said 2015 was a good day there.

Wasn't there talk of a motion to get Mayo to play a home league game outside Castlebar recently but it was abandoned due to a lack of a suitable venue because they tend to get around 10,000 in for league games? From what I've been told about Pearse getting redeveloped instead of Tuam it's sounds like the people involved with running Tuam at the time expected the GAA to foot damn near all the bill for modernising the stadium but were unwilling to give up any control of the venue. One example I was given is that they wouldn't give up something minor like deciding who would be let in to sell cans of soft drink and sweets on match day. They believed the GAA would never actually do the work in Pearse. Of course now that the hurlers are going to get meaningful championship matches going forward Tuam will never regain it's place at the top of the food chain.

It's a disgrace that the stadium was let get so bad but the people trying to sort the place out now need to be supported by playing an occasional match in Tuam. Hopefully the board will get their own finances in order now and make a more meaningful contribution in future as well. Does Galway really need two stadiums?

I do agree that Slingerman should have been given a run though, his distribution should be excellent, but it will be a tight selection. Drake had a v good game & Keith Higgins and Vaughan did a lot of donkey work. But will Donie ever learn? I think DOC was lucky not to get blacked as well the mood that ref was in. The amount of off the ball let away was very frustrating. Taking off Drake was a poor decision at that stage in the game, I couldn't see that he was injured.
