[QUB GAA Research]

Hi Everyone,

I am a final year student at QUB, and as part of my course I am required to undertake a group piece of research.
We have chosen to do this on the GAA, and the different reasons on player drop-our rates post age 18 between rural and urban areas.

We would be very greatfull if you could take the time to fill out the survey below (it will literally only take 2 minutes).

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Q8FYCHK

We've got some great feedback so far, and I think the users on this message board can add valuable contributions to the study.
Please feel free to comment/make sussestions on our thread (below) or on the survey about the topic.

Thanks Very much!

I was a first year in Colmans Claremorris that year as well, they won the Hogan Cup in 1977, five or six of that panel were on the Colmans team. O'Malley from Achill looked like a nice player.

Horan would go to Croker for the refixture with the Dubs I believe. I wonder will the game now be re-fixed for Croke Park or will it go ahead in McHale Park as I expect it to.

Oh that would please the Mayo supporters (70-80%) who coughed up €13 + €3 for last nights match. Let me guess you work in Dublin?

How on Earth did you guess that? No, I'm a teacher who is covering a maternity leave in Co Sligo. I expect it to go ahead in McHale Park because if the GAA have any common sense at all. I'm just wondering now if it will go on in Croke Park now after Horan's musings.

Apologies.

You're grand. So long as you didn't say teaching isn't work or some sort of comment like that

But sure it's not, is it?

Anybody know what's going on with the County Board tickets? I know I have seen in the programmes lately in McHale Park about the Cáirde Mhaigh Eo draw. Do these replace the county board tickets? If so,will only those who have paid €200 go in the draw??

[prewtna]

county board tickets are out.

clubs have to organise vouchers from local businesses to attach to the tickets to make them easier to sell.

i suggest you get your county board delegate to go to the meetings and report back to ye.

ours didnt and i got a phone call from Paddy Mac regarding same.

i hate fundraising for the county board - shower of @?><:'s

Get a guided tour around the marvellous facilities in MacHale Park. 2011 Stars of the Future launch the 2012 Kellogs Cuil Camps. We will have music on the evening also. After all of that, sit down and relax in our magnificent stand and watch the Mayo Senior Football team as they train on the pitch.

This is an opportunity not to be missed and a memorable night will be had by all in attendance.
