Connacht Final. Mayo v Sligo. July 19.

[ballinaman]

The choice of Roscommon for this match puts Hyde Park back on the map for big matches, even before the redevelopment takes place. Wouldn't it be fitting if Andy Moran wins the 5 in a row on home soil!!. Don't rule Sligo out in Hyde Park.. The business people in Roscommon town will be thrilled .

From All Ireland contenders, to living out your dreams through Andy.....poor craatures

Us Mayo/Sligo season ticket holders will get seats I assume?

I've never had any issues with Hyde, always been in side terrace when I've been there and it's grand. Not keen on Castlebar as a ground at all.

No skywhale!

I just heard that the Ross county board got this through by offering to convert the bus into a jacks and putting it behind the stand for the day.

It was almost worth losing to ye to get to see Willie Joe shit himself about going to the Hyde.

Mayo's last three performances there (Ros 2011, Sligo 2012 and Ros 2014) have been less than stellar too..

A repeat of any of those would do us nicely

I've no problem with Hyde Park to be honest. In fact I have no problem anywhere with any venue. I am probably alone in my thoughts with that. I just wonder how many seats there are and if I'll get one.

PS, they're right about the small Mayo support (over on the blog) in 2011. I wonder when this team's cycle ends will the support base decline again?

2011 was hilarious, i down the graveyard end. It was like somebody had a high powered fan and a hose.....some craic. Back of me was bone dry.

You should go for the Roscommon PRO job

Haha yea, ballinaman, I do look at An Spailpín Fánach's blog every now and again at the 'Championship 2011' files and boy the nets were fairly blowing that day too.

Hopefully the minors make it so we can siphon away some of the tickets.

Christ, even when ye get run out of town on a rail, like ye were on Saturday night ye behave like ye 're leading the parade Ye ve got some nerve, I ll give ye that.

I cant see any mad rush for this one. Sligo had maybe 4000 on Saturday. Can t see a huge demand from there with only the most optimistic expecting a win. I dunno what attraction a possible/probable 5-in a row would have for the summer fans in Mayo? The massive crowd for a league game against the Dubs shows what potential there is for big crowd from Mayo. Still 21,000+ turned up for the 13 London final. But I suspect that the Hyde will be a hard sell. It is not spectator friendly. The main terrace gets awful tight and standing for 2 games is not much fun. The stand viewing is like looking through the wrong end of a telescope. It s like you re in a different timezone. All of McHale Park is seated which is something in itself.

Anyway the Hyde won t bother us. The first half of the 4 in a row was won there. It's just the nuisance of the bloody place. Bit like these European Games being held in Baku - who thought that was a good idea?

You will, but where are you going to watch the game from?
