In 1951 there were Ballagh natives who'd been born as Mayos.

Adult prices were reduced to 60 from 80 and kids (on season tickets) were reduced to 10 from 80 last year for the replay.

Sean Flanagan was actually from Aughamore. I think the only Ballaghaderreen man to ever win a senior football All-Ireland was Jack Shouldice with Dublin in 1907.

Some people would rather they weren't reduced so they have something to complain about. I'd say they'd have no problem getting people to pay 60 Euro for another game like yesterday. Fantastic entertainment, pity there wasn't a replay.

Get a look at the financial accounts for Mayo county board and any club there that has done development and you will see significant funds were given from Croke Park

Tom Parsons played well didn't he.
What part of Co. Mayo is Tom from?
Tom Parsons won't play for Sligo, we need to accept that and move on. Ballaghdreen play in Mayo.
Time to move on. My point is this is not the time to throw this in Mayo's face.
Were you rooting for Dublin Seanie? How about the Rossies?
I was rooting for Mayo and most of the country was...
I wanted Dublin to win. I would doubt many in Meath were hoping for a Dublin win. Several Sligo people around me devastated (slumped in seats, almost in tears) at the final whistle. I find that a head scratcher. This is a county we're trying to compete against.
I won't say anything else on the other things for now as I don't want to piss off the genuine Mayo lads. I shouldn't have mentioned it.

Sligoman2, what muckraking are the Rossies doing? That's a fairly big generalisation considering when we lose, Eamon O'Hara is quick to polish off a few bus jokes on Twitter. But would never malign all Sligonians if one decides to have a laugh. It's only a game at end of day.
That said, awful of Syferus to call you a Mayoman given that long time readers know you to be a straight up and genuine Sligo man, who even played a bit back in the day.
Thank you for the kind words weareros.

This, I mean I get that a lot of people wouldn't have wanted Dublin to win for all sorts of reasons, and I was of the "can they not both lose" viewpoint, but I do understand that people here would feel a little sorry for Mayo, after coming so close so often it's hard not to, but to be reacting as though they were a Mayo supporter itself is just plain bizarre.
You are missing the point Owenmoresider, I was a Mayo supporter on Sunday, I do feel sorry for them and I was offended by the abuse hurled at them earlier in the thread...
Again, not the time to do this...
Calm down Sligoman2.
I for once hoped the Rhubarbs would win on Sunday and think it's tough on them to lose 4 AI Finals in 6 years 3 of them by a point.
However I reserve the right to slag them and have banter especially in a thread where one of their own is saying tongue in cheek -thank God we lost.

Don't worry Cunny. It's just Bunker and I seriously doubt if he's really a Mayoman. The 40,000 Mayo people in Croke Park would willingly have paid €160 for a replay never mind the reduced €60 price we were charged last year.

I imagine the majority of Mayo fans would have bitten your hand off for a draw when Rock popped over that free kick in injury time. It must seem like a long way back to an AI final with this team from here.

He's 34 in the next few months it would be obvious to suggest not but given he's just had his best ever season how could anyone write him off. Its certainly an ageing Mayo team, from the team that started Sunday 5 players are 30 and another 6 heading for 30 inside the next 2 years.
