anyone else hear the lad from the DCB on 104fm this morning

usual "get to the game on time, dont be late" etc etc but he also confirmed that the vast majority of Hill tickets from Mayo have returned to the DCB and been swapped for stand tickets
So it looks like the much speculated Mayo take over of the Hill is just a folly. We hear this every year and it just never happens and now it seems Mayo have sent their Hill tickets back, just as Kerry, Cork, Tyrone etc etc etc have done year in year out

But somehow, tHis will be seen as favourotism to the Dubs! Lads, if ye have an issue with it, talk to the MCB.......

Thought so :)

Our club got their tickets last night - mainly Hill tickets. All the players etc have their hill tickets in their hand. Unless they decide to swap them up there. But they say it be much better craic when they can all stand together and of course the Dubs are great fun too.

i'm not saying anything as a fact here boys, but the fella from the CB this morning "moved to quell fears of a shortage of Hill tickets" so to speak by reassuring Dublin supporters than the Mayo CB had sent back the vast bulk of their allocation of Hill tickets...........

Phew!

Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8166 - 18/09/2013 11:18:22    1484220

Have club allocations been distributed yet? Didn't think they had been?

Interesting article here which shows the monetary advantage bestowed on Dublin fans (Mayo fans will spend over €0.5million more on tickets) and the competitive advantage given to the Dublin team by the segregation of Hill 16.All backed up by fact. And when the chants of "Hill 16 is Dublin only" ring out, who can deny but that opposition fans have little or no choice but to voluntarily segregate?

Keyser, there were lots of Cork supporters on the Hill at the hurling semi final and no segregation and no hassle. It is not our problem other non city people have wierd hang up about Dubs!

Keyser, when the rest of ye start earning as much for the Association as a whole as we do, then come back to me and ask for parity...but so long as we make the money for you all, we can expect to be treated like the royalty we are, and ya...we know we are

Hill 16 is Dublin only..........

Keyser,

You will be taking this up with HQ no doubt seeing as they are the only ones able to solve the ticket allocation problem (there is no problem) as you see it!
"Dear Croke Park, Why do the Dubs get all the Hill tickets....."

Please let us know how you get on in your communications with them!

Regards,

Snufalufagus....Laochra Gael

Maybe you check out the other Dub site(Ressers). Mayo lads are signing in, Fairly frequent as first time posters looking to swap hill tickets for stand ones.

Ah Moomoo how are you? Still not rating our Dublin team pal? I think your being a little bit harsh on us seen as we won the league and our now in the all Ireland final , pal if you don't rate us then who do you rate?
