So how dare Mayo or any other fans stand on hill16. And to think other counties didn't give Dublin tickets as well. I'd like to ask that guy who wants to boycott the National League, if a true GAA fan does he from allow his club around the county for league and championship. That's a true GAA fan.

I'm not a fan of him or his page. He/they think far too much of themselves but to answer one of your questions. He follows Dublin everywhere, and i don't just mean the senior footballers, he follows both senior football and hurling, 21s football and hurling, Minor in both codes, the ladies in both codes. He's at every game. And boy do we know all about it.

Everyone is always b&é"'ing about the Dubs and the Hill. Take the Dubs off the Hill and see the impact on atmosphere etc. They are credited with very little, dismissed as Premier League supporters etc. witnof (Dublin) - Posts: 1604 - 21/09/2016 09:22:52 1917292 Link 1 |
I think the point being made is that dublin bankroll the gaa with the quantity of fans that go to all the matches , whether mayo like it or not. heresam (Dublin) - Posts: 156 - 21/09/2016 09:23:48 1917293 Link 0 |
This is the same moaning every year......there is a reward scheme for supporters it's called the season ticket! Also All Ireland final day is about the whole of the GAA not just the competing counties and as for lads saying what about the guys who get a ticket from their club but don't attend the league games.....guess what the reason a lot of those people can't make inter county league games ( with their families) is because they are coaching someone else's kids down at juvenile training in their club. I know myself there are loads of national league games I'd love to attend but it clashes with juvenile training or matches and I know which one is more important to me and my club PaudieSull1 (Down) - Posts: 738 - 21/09/2016 09:34:32 1917297 Link 1 |
Mayo and Dublin both were allocation the same amount of tickets and that is a fact. You can't blame Mayo fans for being more resourceful in finding tickets outside the county. I think the team (Mayo in this case) that has an extra week also helps. The replay should see more dubs as Mayo people I know that flew home from the US, Australia etc won't be back for the replay.

I saw the post via that Joe.ie article and was pretty amazed by its content being honest. It appears Mr. Fennell wouldnt be happy unless the Dubs not only had sole occupancy of the Hill but the other three stands as well. Rather unfair to reference the Mayo crowd v Fermanagh, that was a Saturday afternoon game, not everyone's cup of tea, and Mayo's support is readily recognised as exceptional. Articles like that don't do Dublin any favours at all really Richieq (Meath) - Posts: 3734 - 21/09/2016 09:43:52 1917306 Link 0 |
Dublin bank roll the GAA seriously??????? Granted they have some good attendances from Leinster final onwards but Dublin GAA is getting plenty back in funding to their county and clubs as well so please save us this nonsense. PaudieSull1 (Down) - Posts: 738 - 21/09/2016 09:44:01 1917307 Link 1 |
Hill16 Army is run by Barry Fennell and he is far from an utter fool that man does great work for sick children with cancer especially young Molly , his biggest crime here is he loves Dublin Gaa with a passion and right now feels his county is getting shafted. His page is very popular with Dublin supporters and he's at every Dublin match men or women hurling or football. Croi I think your being very harsh on Barry he's one of the good guys imo. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 21/09/2016 09:58:28 1917317 Link 3 |

The main problem is why are the non competing counties being given the same allocation for the replay. hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 21/09/2016 10:08:16 1917321 Link 1 |
people take swipe at others without knowing the facts, Barry and his site welcome all to the hill, the issue is the distribution of declined tickets and how to mitigate this fairly. heresam (Dublin) - Posts: 156 - 21/09/2016 10:09:06 1917322 Link 1 |
Well said Sir - plenty of people would love to be in a privileged enough position that they can take up and follow the County team around the County at the drop of a hat. Others as you say maybe have commitments that don't offer them the same opportunity be that family or that they are actively involved with some team in their club on the days of the County games. Anyone in that position is every bit as deserving of an All Ireland ticket as those who can make games and maybe aren't involved much or at all at club level. Too many Mé Féiners.

All exceptionally commendable Clondalkin as is his love of his county but I think he posted before he thought out certain things after last Sunday, having now looked at the page it doesn't look good and some of the comments and reactions by some supporters are pretty awful, it appears he has tried to pull back a bit and reengage with Mayo supporters in recent posts, hope that trend continues. His argument about ticket allocation is without basis or foundation, Mayo were just quicker off the mark in doing deals....

The facts are plain to see. Mayo for whatever reason had a huge majority of the tickets for the final. I sat in the cusack lower and I would confident in saying that the split was at least 70% to 30% in Mayo's favour. For years we have listened to the Dubs only arrive for the championship in August so I think we are entitled to voice our opinion and it is correct to say that Mayo's support has been relatively modest up to the final. I don't believe for one second the that the ticket allocation for the final that is in the public domain is actually the truth. Mayo are getting more tickets and don't give me this bull that they are better at sourcing them. They were even in a position to produce two tickets for the senator that actually had no entitlement to a ticket as she thought. Simple, Dublin can bring decent crowds throughout the championship but when it comes to the final they are not getting a fair crack of the week.

I don't get this perception from country people that if your involved in a club and don t bother to go to county games all year and come the final you get a ticket you deserve it solely because you are a member of a club. A person who goes and supports their county all year regardless of if they are in a club or not is more dedicated to the county team and is far more entitled to get a ticket to see their county than somebody who hasn't gone and supported the county all year. hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 21/09/2016 10:30:03 1917336 Link 1 |
Clondalkin I do agree the stuff he does with Molly etc. is extremely commendable and for that I do admire him but some of the stuff I've read of his is cringeworthy. The way he talks to some people is far from pleasant and heaven forbid you don't go support the ladies/minors etc. you're torn apart in a big long rant for not being a 'proper' Dublin fan. He just thinks he's the bee knees when it comes to being a Dublin GAA supporter. You can be a good fan without the air of cockiness he has about him, that's all.
