Not the stand? :mad:

Seemingly not. Also, Padraig O'Sullivan has been announced as the ref for the match.

The GAA really are treating the season ticket holders with contempt.

Yawn, care to explain considering they have selected the smallest of the 3 stadia?

Redsoxfan · 07-07-2015 07:38PM

For Ulster Final, Season Ticket holders are always seated in the uncovered stand along the sideline in Clones. For other games, tends to be covered stand.

I'm not sure. The supervalue ones were in a box behind the till and they just took the money and put it in an envelope.

glack · 07-07-2015 10:37PM

Ohh interesting. Which supervalu? Might have to sent someone to check first thing!

So we have been relegated another step then, really rewarding us loyal ST holders eh!.

Oldtree · 08-07-2015 01:20AM

It just beggars belief really. Give respect get respect.... My ar*e ... No respect given here to season ticket holders yet again. But I won't forget the newspaper and waterproof leggings so my ar*e will be dry and somewhat cushioned.

The people who organised this must be buffoons. And don't get me started on the very poor toilet facilities for women in Hyde (so my daughter and a number of other women mentioned to me after our last visit there).

And dare I say it again (& again & again.........) the kind of buffoonery that chooses blue seating for a county stadium, whose colors are red and green, seems to be a pervasive mentality within the powers that be. Not sure I saw many of them down by the corrib in the freezing rain, on a bleak winters day when we played NUIG. Don't think I am ever going to get over the seat thing. Am I ranting???????

The reason for the blue seats, IIRC, is that the red and green seats would have faded quicker. I don't think the County Board would have been able to afford a lick of paint every season :pac:

I remember that happening years ago in McHale Park when the old stand was new.
Lots of supporters went home in Castlebay Mitchels colours whether they wanted to or not.

yop · 08-07-2015 02:24PM

My Dad is suggesting we use the opt out, as a man in his 70's he said that we will have to get there very early and he isn't keen on having to sit on concrete all day in an uncovered area. We paid for a ST to have a guaranteed stand ticket during the championship, we aren't getting that.

Has anyone spoke to the ST group? I presume they aren't too bothered.

Syferus · 08-07-2015 02:39PM

If the weather is fine the uncovered seating area is the best spot in the ground to watch the match from.

I wouldn't be cruel and be praying for it to rain or anything lads. I'd never do that.

Very frustrating regarding the season tickete seating, the GAA website states "You will be guaranteed a seat in a stand for any all-ticket Provincial Championship matches" on http://www.gaa.ie/tickets-and-merchandise/tickets/gaa-season-ticket/where-will-i-be-seated/

and then you have the Roscommon county board secretary Michael Fahey being quoted as saying that those with season tickets were entitled to a match ticket, but not necessarily to one in the stand.

“We can only seat 3,600 in the covered stand. There are more season tickets than that throughout the province. They are entitled to a ticket for the match but I don’t know where this myth that it has to be a stand ticket has come from,”

I don't know what it has to do with the number of season tickets in the province - he may as well include the country when he's at it. The number of season tickets relevant to the discussion should surely be the number held by people in the competing counties and they should be accommodated in the stand.

I wouldn't even have minded so much losing out in a draw for available stand seats so long as the ST holders in the competing counties were accommodated in so far as was possible.

However, the fundamental point is that the match should never be played in Hyde Park when there are far more suitable venues available in the province and on the day. The precedent has already been set with Croke Park and the Dubs so none of this BS about home advantage from the GAA holds any stead with me.

It'd make you seriously consider cancelling the credit card and letting them stuff their Season Tickets if this is the way they treat those that have followed their county teams through the pissing rain and cold, all year up to this!!

Syferus · 08-07-2015 03:37PM

Lads if ye play us in a championship match at the Hyde it's the fûcking same - more season tickets than seats in the covered stand. Plenty of other grounds the exact same - stop hiding behind this idea of it having to be a stand ticket you get when it's factually impossible in a lot of cases.

Ye need to stop getting flustrated over pointless issues because it's starting to become a theme with Mayo and matches and peoples' tolerances will lessen for it each time. When there is genuine malpractice or bad behaviour no one will listen to you when you complain about it.
