Mayo GAA Discussion

Hyde Park on Sunday at 4pm

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

ha! Im not saying their feckin luxury, still fairly basic, but they are actual toilets in a concrete building! 😂

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

basing that on what?

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.

An update on plans for the COE

Anyone know when / if stand tickets will be released? Bringing small kids so the terrace isn't an option for them

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

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.

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.

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.

Has anyone had any luck with stand tickets?

I see Patton is named for Donegal, he's a huge boost for them

In a similar wayI'm looking for a spare train ticket if anyone has one for sale.
