General ticket info

You can buy tickets for Mayo v Tyrone and Mayo v Monaghan double-header in Cummins’ Super-Valu. Or online HERE. Please note, at this  link you can also buy juvenile tickets when buying adult ones. It must be a juvenile who turns up on the day to occupy that seat. Adult tickets cost €40 and juvenile tickets cost €5. You can buy more than one juvenile ticket with each adult ticket. There is another option – you can buy €10 tickets off the club for the Davin Stand. We have a limited supply of these (actually, we have no supply yet but we are hoping to get them this week). These tickets can be occupied by adults or juvenile. Juvenile is defined as those who are 16 or under on January 1st, 2013. If you are interested in these tickets (please note they are Davin Stand) let Liam Horan (087 9185 867) know asap. These are the only tickets the club order – due to the variety of ticket outlets, it is not necessary for the club to order tickets.

Thanks from Clare Island

Padraic O’Malley has been in touch to thank everyone who helped to make their recent lightning visit to Ballinrobe a success – our junior team, those who helped out with what he described as excellent hospitality on the evening, and three of our players who donned their jersey. That trio included John Fitzpatrick who went back to his roots – his mother was a native of the island. Would they join us on the trip to Rennes? Actually, Padraic wants to know the dimensions of Flanagan Park. As a townie, this is not something I would ever admit to knowing, even if I did know it, which I don’t. Anyone out there happen to know? Jarlath Reilly, you’re a great man of the soil, surely you’d have that information on the tip of your tongue. Tom Watson – maybe you know it for the quizzes? Let me know if you can answer this, or I might be forced to step it out myself some evening. Sean Murphy, you can probably calculate it by just standing up on the embankment and throwing one over the place. I’m not sure why Padraic wants to know. I certainly don’t think it was because he found the pitch too narrow on the evening… UPDATE, first reply in: A man says: “In paces, I’d give it you in paces (approx 98 wide and 168 long) but no idea in proper measurement”.
