Then they should allow Mayo complete their pre match warm up in the Hill 16 end on Saturday evening.

Assuming you're not just fishing. . .


Why?

Do Mayo want to? Have they said as much?

I take it you think Mayo should be allowed to because Dublin were allowed to last Sunday week. If that's the case should the GAA also be fair to supporters and ban any fans who were at the last game to allow 82000 others the chance to attend an All-Ireland final?

No problem with that. Speaking of 'fairness', the way the tickets have been distributed they will easily outnumber the Dubs there anyway and should have about 55K in the ground I would say.

I haven't heard any whinging from a Mayo senator this week so the tickets must be plentiful in Ballina. Somebody just needs to show her where the ground is in Castlebar now.

Sure the gaa are already doing everything to accomadate the mayo supporters.
anybody not in croke park would have missed the constant focus on the big screen of the mayo team bus making its way to croke park, while the teams were warming up on the pitch they had the interview with the local mayo celebrity from American fusseball to perform a cheerleading chant for mayo, then at half time daithi goes to a group of mayo supporters to ask their thoughts and give a cheer for mayo

Did they not follow the Dublin bus on its way to the stadium?

Is there some unfair advantage gained by warming up at the Hill end? Or is it just because they do we want to?

With all them advantages it's a wonder we don't win the All Ireland every year. I mean showing the Mayo bus must be worth, what, five or six points at least. As for the contribution from some retired american footballer sure money couldn't buy that. Split Mayo in two quick I say, before they get any more advantages and actually win an All Ireland.

I suppose they could play the replay in Castlebar seen as Dublin had home advantage for the first game?

It can't be the Home Ground, but can be in the same county. Replay should take place in Partry. It's only fair.

Haha they did their best to make it feel like it was in castlebar the last day.
They would have to build a terrace by Saturday then to accomadate all these standing supporters ue klnow have

It's a bit sad that you spent your day focussing on these things.

Instead of Hill 16, we'd have 16 Hills. I would play the replay there in a heartbeat. Imagine the atmosphere, it would be like a Roman Arena.
