Anyone see the new elvery's ad with Ciaran Mac? A bit daft, but fair play to him, i'm sure he got a few bob for it.

The amateur status police might get him...

Loup Bandit · August 07, 2007, 10:57:45 AM

the amateur status police would not be the first to refund him for lose of earnings on a Saturday for example if he had a game / training!

Not sure if all of the bigger Elverys stores are the same but that looks like the one on the Fonthill Road in Dublin

I 'd say he got nothing for it - or as Jack O'Connor would say, a nice family holiday !!!!!!!!!!

Good ad.

McStay is definitely a reader here - he has done an article on the Board in the Mayo News some time back where I got a mention myself.

What's the difference between this ad though and Lucozade Sports or Powerade or Club Energise or Pittmann Moore ads?

Hank Everlast · August 08, 2007, 08:23:24 AM

seen the ad at half time in the trone meath match and it had me in stitches..... so simple but so funny!

Another good reason for having Elverys as a sponsor is that every time during the summer while Mayo are still in the championship, pretty much all their shops will prominently feature a picture of a Mayo player in action on a large placard, more often that not with some other player bouncing off them or whatever. Trevor Howleys was the latest one to feature as far as i can recall.
Hopefully the Eleverys link can continue for years to come given that the Staunton family that own it are from Castlebar (Stauntons Intersport bought Elverys a few years back, not the other way around)
