Connacht Club Championships 2016

Who cheated though?

Mitchels and Salthill cheated designating training pitches at McHale and Pearse as their home grounds. Prenty allowing the same just because it suits his bank balance to let Mitchels and Salthill play at home is flagrant cheating too.

He enacted a rule that has only ever been applied to a single club in Connacht. What a joke.

Maybe a current Mitchels member can verify, but I thought Mitchels played all their home games in Josie Munnelly Park not McHale Park.  That's what the "training pitch" is called. We used to call it the top pitch

[Duine Eile]

Salthill don't play their home games in Pearse stadium either, they play in the Prairie which is beside Pearse.

The Mitchels website even has McHale Park as their home ground. It's just rounding the intention of the rule whatever way you cut it..

It was supposedly Brigids' fault the Corofin yobs were allowed to get to ref after the 2011 final in Kiltoom, even though it was CC stewards who failed to stop it happening as they were in control of the venue, ticketing et al.

It was a non-issue Prenty is using to beat Brigids and Brigids alone with now. Mitchels playing Corofin at McHale the same weekend Brigids have to trek to Carrick has put a spotlight on the Prenty Council's behaviour yet again. It's hard for anyone to say there's any fairness emanating from Bekan any more even if you were Willie Joe over on MayoGAABlog.

I don't know about Castlebars situation but Pearse Stadium has never been Salthills home ground.
They play all their games in the Prairie.
But sure why let the truth get in the way.

Don't think it says that on the Castlebar Mitchels website either but sure fcuk it, its a good story

Even your lies are lies.

McHale Park might not officially be there home ground, but it is most certainly their cash cow.  The Mitchells get all the proceeds from EVERY programme sold there, including club and county games.  Imagine the amount they rake in from this.  They also get all the proceeds from the shop at EVERY game.  Conservatively I reckon that together they possibly take in over €100,000 per year.  Plenty of people on here questioning why Dublin get so much funding.....we in Mayo might look closer to home to see how clubs are funded.  Very hard for clubs to compete against the likes of Castlebar when along with the largest population they have a license to print money from McHale Park.  It's no wonder the Stephenites felt hard done by when all the county games were moved to McHale Park.  Ony one winner there and it's certainly not the Mayo County Board.

Syf is an idiot.

Josie Munnelly is the Mitchel's pitch since the County Board bought the main pitch in McHale off them.

Anyway, does anybody know where the Intermediate final is being played?

Not defending them on this one, but it always is Mitchels people behind the counter at the shop.

They (Mitchels) have some deal done with the county board for the Shop and selling of programs. Take it from me both are nice earners for the club. To call a spade a spade, financially Mitchels are so far ahead of any club in Mayo.
