Just got this from the Season Ticket office:

The 2010 GAA Season Ticket will be up for renewal this week.
The base price remains at just EUR 75 making the GAA Season Ticket the best value in sport.
There are some improvements for this year including:
- A Juvenile GAA Season Ticket at EUR 10 base price
- An Opt Out for the Championship match you cannot attend

Seen the pic too and read the artical as I too thought it was a joke too to start with. But what I find strange is that it was reported he had his hands tied behind his back, so I would find it strange he killed himself, sounds like murder.

Too Right Donegal Danny.

If anyone is thinking for coming up to Donegal from Dublin or Cork, check out these fly break deals, they usually include free car rental

Ballyliffen Lodge is very popular especially with our Northern Friends.
Lough Eske getting a great name for itself.

Spa breaks are grand for the las too, as long as they have the steam room and jet pool and stuff like that, lots seem to promote a spa in their hotel when in fact it is just treatments they offer which really just suits the ladies.

The Shandon Hotel in Dunfanaghy is a great location, great views, great spa, beach on your door step, good activities locally horse ridding, surffing hiking etc. Just a shame the hotel itself could do with a freshen up from all reports.

Just mailed the season ticket off there to enquire about the draw for season ticket holders that had a 100% attendance record. Was wondering what the structure of the draw was and how many tickets were up for grabs and when is the draw:

Got this reply:

A chara,

Please note that the draw will take place during the week and will include saeson ticket holders from all counties (Football) who had an attendance rate of 100%. We will be in contact with all tose who are successfully drawn in due course.

Le meas,
GAA Ticket Office.

Its a bit of a joke. I emailed them late last week and they said the draw would take place early next week and they would notify the winners. They have yet to answer whether there is a decent chance of getting one. I also emailed and asked if they would let me no one way or the other once the draw was over so that I would know if I had no chance of a ticket and they didnt reply.

How do they know if everyone that attended 100% of the games wants to go to the final? If you win are you automatically billed? Surely you should have had to register your interest. Im a bit sceptical about the draw to be honest. As this was one of the perks of the season ticket scheme it would have been nice to have been communicated with as to what was happening. Overall the scheme has been very good.

Totally agree, a simple email from them last week, to indicate that you were entitled to be entered into the darw and that it would be taking place on xx of Sept. That way you would know your attendance was recored correctly and when the draw was on, if you heard nothing after you could assume you were not succesfull.

Shame they also did not indicated how many tickets are up for grabs in the draw.

I have emailed them to confirm I am 100% records but have heard nothing back.

Agreed over all the scheme was very good, and would go for one next year also. A few things they could improve on but seeing as this was the first year of it there would always be improvements found out

Signs on the street indicate it operates Monday to Sunday. Also signs up saying Croke Park Events - Clamping in  operation

Noticed more pay and display around croke park on sunday. There was a resident selling visitor passes for 10 euros on the street we parked on, as pay and display was only 2 hours max. When heading back to the car the clammpers were out in force.
