Green Peter - Permanent
Man Vs ManUre until 9/05/23
Hyde Park is the best ground in Connacht these days, if only Mayo had such foresight when they were redeveloping the MacHale Park.
There is no proper toilets. It was port a loos all around last time I was there.
Not ideal on a warm summers day.
there were proper toilets there and open on saturday gone! but literally basic snack choice in case anyone cares… bars and drinks
Hyde Park on Sunday at 4pm
I hope you are right snowgal - they were grim at the Roscommon and Dublin games last June
The Hyde is an ideal - Donegal crowd in the N61, Mayo crowd in the N60 and I will sneak in the N63 relatively painlessly from my exile in Galway
Confirmed for Hyde Park Sunday at 4
Sunday 15 June All-Ireland SFC Round 3
Tyrone v Cavan, Brewster Park, 4pm
Donegal v Mayo, Dr Hyde Park, 4pm - RTE
Monaghan v Down, BOX-It Athletic Grounds, 2pm - RTE
Louth v Clare, Laois Hire O’Moore Park, 2pm
ha! Im not saying their feckin luxury, still fairly basic, but they are actual toilets in a concrete building! 😂
ideal !!!!!
Good venue for us.
A lot depends on which Mayo shows up the next day though, can we replicate the energy we had the last day esp against a team who has had the same rest as us? I'm fairly doubtful about it tbh, I think Donegal will have too much for us
Tommy could/should be back on the bench for donegal game …..
basing that on what?
I was talking to someone involved with the Neale on Sunday.
Excellent, hopefully true because there's been an awful lot of mixed messages and anyone I was talking to from the Neale didn't know what the story was.
Same
Anything I had heard up until this point was negative tbh so pinch of salt may be needed
There was a lot of drink on board 🤣
An update on plans for the COE

That would be huge. Target for Mayo is to be within touching distance of Donegal 15 mins to go and bringing Tommy, Davit Neary and Jordan Flynn on at that stage in that scenario gives us a great chance.
Anyone know when / if stand tickets will be released? Bringing small kids so the terrace isn't an option for them
I believe the minor quarter final v Offaly is on TG4 YouTube channel at 3pm today
Good win for the minors, were ahead for most of it. Offaly went 1 up with about 10 to go but we scored the last 4 points
I thought they really tried to play keep ball in the last few minutes of the game.
It was frustrating to watch at times, I thought they could have taken more shots rather than recycling at that stage.
They got away with it in the end but it was hard to watch.
In fairness it was exactly the right thing to do.Great smarts from such young guys.
Every time Offaly got possession they looked they would score in the 2nd half with that wind (same as Mayo in the 1st half)
Mayo had to play a possession game and try to control it.They executed this really well except for the large caveat that they let in 3 soft goals.Need to tighten up FB line a bit,have let in 8 goals in 2 games That wasn't the fault of the tactic to play possession.
Ultimately they were vindicated with their tactics.
Smart management, smart players,great to see.
I think they were right to an extent to play for possession at that stage but when doing so, you need to also look for openings which I think they failed to do and left a couple of scores behind as a result which could have put them further ahead earlier. Playing possession football for the sake of it isn't a good idea
Midfield did really well and we were all over the breaking ball for the last 20 mins.
That 2 point free from Hession was a huge kick
My only worry with when they went possession football in the 2nd half was they wouldn't create any more goal chances and two pointers were off the table with the wind
However they created a brilliantly worked goal chance which brought a top save out of Offaly keeper.They hit a two pointer and chipped away with enough singles to win the game.
All this whilst denying Offaly possession,a good plan and well executed.
Any one if there are any more Stand tickets to be released for Donegal game in Dr. Hyde Park? Hope to bring the kids but not sure terrace is an option for them.
Nobody will know for sure, but very likely. Numerous stand seats will be shadow booked against season ticket holders and group stage multi-ticket purchasers for both counties. Any of those that didn't lead to a stand seat sale (which will be a fair few, given some enjoy being the opposite side in the Hyde anyway or the odd nutters who love being behind the goal) will likely come back to general release in the next 48 hours. Wouldn't expect they'd last too long so you'd want to keep an ear to the ground on it, but I'd be surprised if they weren't available for a few hours as they initially were when tickets were first made available.
Just doubled checked there.Season tickets have to be taken up by 11am on weds.You'd imagine the rest of the stand (minus the 3 package deal people who also bought stand) will go on sale then.
I'd be refreshing around that time I think plenty will be available.
Has anyone had any luck with stand tickets?
No. Have been keeping an eye on it since Wed morning and nothing. Unlikely at this stage I'd say
