Replying To yew_tree: "I think it's great we get to go to a few club games this weekend. My heads been in a spin since the all Ireland final (in a good way) and it's hard to think about anything else. What a two weeks it's been. Now back to club where it all begins. I'd encourage everyone to get to a game or two. I saw a good few supporters out at the Sam homecomings who I've never seen at a club game…remember there no county team with the clubs. Up Mayo!" Sadly it's the same case in most counties, you'll get all the hangers on at county level when things are going good, yet they probably couldn't give you directions to their local club pitch. I've seen it up here often enough.
Don't expect to see too many Mayo 'influencers' down at their locals clubs recording themselves the same way they were in Croke Park only two short weeks ago!

Westmeath Football thread - 2 Like(s)
Replying To iarmhiabu: "Two poorest teams in Section A going at it tonight in relegation final. Athlone and South Westmeath offering very little at the moment, Mullingar and north to Mullingar is football stronghold." The South Westmeath clubs may not be setting the place alight at the moment but to say they are offering very little is an insult to the players from southern clubs who made such an important contribution to Westmeath's success this year. These things tend to come in cycles. The clubs from Mullingar area are dominant now but history shows that this won't last forever. All of Westmeath's five football All-Stars came from the south of the county, Athlone has more senior titles than any other club, while Garrycastle is the only Westmeath club to win a Leinster senior title.

Replying To 19616609: "He grew the games.
When was the last time it happened ?" Before 2023-2025 it happened in 1999-2001, 1998-2000, 1997-1999, 1996-1998, 1994-1996, and 1993-1995. The problem with the 1st 2 decades of this millennium that way was that there were 3 dominant super teams, Kilkenny and Limerick in hurling and Dublin in Football.

I'd have no problem with who turns up for homecoming which is a celebration of a counties success if you like the sport or not and a free event.
The problem I'd have and it's the same with many counties. So called supporters at the All-Ireland final who are never seen at a club game.

Now I know lots of Mayo people in the US and UK who fly home for finals and get tickets. I've no problem them getting tickets as when they lived here they were great club people and many are involved in clubs in the US and UK.
The social media influencers (often young women) get on my nerves. Multiple insta posts and selfies. The All Ireland final is always the "to be seen at" junket of the year. I'd love to see some of them volunteer at their local clubs….you must be joking.

Replying To BigBàsMan: "Championship gets under way this weekend lads. Who are your choices for winning out the senior and the premier?? Clarinbridge will be there thereabouts, probably turloughmore, maybe Tommies or even st Thomas' have one last shot at winning tom callanan.
I can't see beyond Loughrea making it 3 in a row. Hanzy a big loss but Shane o brien is back fit and will prob spot into corner back nicely. Dylan shocks back from Oz and will prob slot into half back or half forward line., although he will have competition from Gavin maher.The introduction of forwards like jack shocks and Bobby Feeney to Vince Morgan, Darren shaughnessy, Anthony burns, Martin McManus (back fully fit), Jamie Ryan, tiernan Killeen etc I can't see any team coping with them. Roll on club champ 2026" Jeez lucky Loughrea had all those options. Would have been beaten by 20 without them. This Loughrea team isn't a patch on Thomas' in their pomp.
