New Season Ticket Self Scanning

New Season Ticket Self Scanning

by | Feb 27, 2015 | Season Tickets

New season ticket self scanning for all Cairde Mhaigheo and Croke Park season tickets.

Season ticket self scanning information for Mayo and Dublin supporters. On Sunday, All Cairde Mhaigh Eo card holders and Croke Park Season Ticket holders will enter through stiles 1 -8 as normal. However from this Sunday, self-scanning is being introduced, meaning that you – yes YOU – will be responsible for scanning your own season ticket. Which means no blaming anyone else if your attendance record fails to update …

So here’s how it will work:  Once patrons enter the stile they will swipe their card through a card reader which will allow access while also automatically uploading their attendance. Stewards will be stationed at each of the new season ticket self scanning turnstiles to assist patrons.

Why is this happening? Croke Park announced earlier this year that they would be rolling out new systems to all GAA grounds around the country. This would obviously be on a phased basis and it seems that MacHale Park in Castlebar is the first GAA ground in line for the technological upgrade! We for one welcome our new technological overlords and when supporters scan their season tickets in the new scanners, as well as granting access through the stile, your attendance will also be recorded and automatically uploaded to Croke Park. This should mean that your attendance will be updated as soon as your season ticket is scanned, the same as what happens in Croke Park upon entry. Hopefully this should put an end to the numerous problems supporters encountered last year with their tickets not being scanned correctly and their attendance not being updated.

Mayo Club 51 strongly recommends that all supporters get to MacHale Park in plenty of time on Saturday. As with any new system, it will be new to everyone and while hopefully there will be minimal traffic jams, with the amount of season ticket holders in Mayo and Dublin, the scanning process may take a little getting used to on the first day.

Those attending with children should note that Stiles 6-8 have now been designated family turnstiles.

The turnstiles will be open a half hour earlier on Saturday at 5.00. All ticketing and match day info here.

As always, don’t forget to bring along some colour to the game – there has been a serious increase in the amount of flags appearing at games recently and it looks great. Keep up the good work!

Update: Season ticket scanners in operation for the first time last year in Mac Hale Park.

Allianz Prediction League Week 2

Allianz Prediction League Week 2

Well, that was a dour old affair in MacHale Park yesterday. As the blanket of freezing fog enveloping Castlebar started to lift, Tyrone brought a blanket of their own with them down the N5 and proceeded to smother the life out of the game in what was a frustrating day out. All in all really it was a day for blankets – we even spotted a few in the stand!

After a strong opening weekend it smarts to concede points on home turf, particularly to this type of game when we’ve seen it deployed so many times before. And we bet not very many of you predicted a Tyrone win in your Allianz  Leagues match predictions! But it’s onwards and upwards as we look ahead to Monaghan’s visit in just under three weeks’ time and hope that some lessons have been learned.

Here are this weeks Allianz Prediction League week 2 standings. There are now 80 people registered and it’t not too late to join in (even joining two weeks late you’ll probably still beat some of us  .. ahem). Just register for an account on https://www.allianzleaguespredictions.ie/ and all you need to do is go to click ‘join mini-league’ and enter this code:  DZD6MLxFkF1E .

There’s been some movement at the top this week as new entrant Declan Leonard of Aghamore storms into first place followed by Enda Cosgrove of Kiltane. Paul McCaffrey of Dromore, Tyrone (!) jumps from 8th place to 3rd (we’re a friendly bunch in here so we’ll let him stay) and last week’s leader Jack Deane slips back to 10th. It’s a Ballina man in the running for the wooden spoon but we feel there will be stiff competition at that end of the table too …

We’ve a mini-break at the minute which should give you plenty of time to swot up on your lower divisions before getting your entries in.

allianz league prediction game

Allianz league logoAfter what can be described as a very encouraging first outing for our lads at the weekend, we’re delighted to welcome back the 2015 Allianz Prediction league.  We’ve had a great response this year with 70 (70!) people now fighting it out to claim the crown in the Mayo Club ’51 mini-league. If you haven’t already joined us,  you’re still welcome to do so – once you’re registered for an account on https://www.allianzleaguespredictions.ie/ all you need to do is go to click ‘join mini-league’ and enter this code:  DZD6MLxFkF1E .

Below are the Allianz Prediction League week 1 table standings. It’s a Ballycroy representative leading the pack with Jack Deane racing into an early lead, but Padraig McHugh of Claremorris and Niamh Roche of Davitts are hot on his heels. We predict (see what we did there) that this will be a tightly fought contest all the way through. If you’re stuck below in the doldrums like some of us, don’t despair and instead get your predictions in for week 2.

In other news, we’re turning our faces back to Castlebar next weekend as we welcome Tyrone to MacHale Park. We intend to give them a very warm welcome indeed, preferably one too hot to handle. We look forward to seeing and hearing you all in MacHale Park at 2pm on Sunday.
