Mayo Association Football League

[pixiehead]

Told they reduced affiliations by 10% which would make a saving around €200 per club, they must be recommended for that

Wow 10% thats fantastic! :disdain:

[pixiehead]

Claremorris got nice foot up with the signing of Glynn. Should be a top player as long as the ball is played to his feet!!

[Thunderblaster]

Was there any mention of how crap the football played in the league was last year or was that just ignored. Did any club have a go at them ( Charlestown or Ballyglass spring to mind) or any body from that club association thingy that was half set up.

Why does Charlestown Ath. or Ballyglass spring to mind?

[rava]

Why does Charlestown Ath. or Ballyglass spring to mind?

Well both of them got royally screwed by the league last year. So this was their arena to air those gripes and justifiably so.

That is in relation to the new divisional format??

[secerts]

hi lads, what are clubs charging for reg this year ?...

[Redkenrover]

hi lads, what are clubs charging for reg this year ?...

Heard some clubs struggling to get players signed up due to reg fees.

[theboy]

Heard some lads saying its €150 for reg. Its pretty high for what you get or what do you get????

[pixiehead]

Heard some lads saying its €150 for reg. Its pretty high for what you get or what do you get????

Refs, dressing rooms, pitch maintenance(seed, sand, mowing ect), hot water, electricity, league and player affiliation fee's, kits washed bla bla bla. Maybe you should have a word with an official at your club and they can show you the accounts.Basically if a club breaks even at the end of a season they are doing well. Your reg fee doesnt even cover the cost of the running of the club. Thats why clubs still have to fund raise. In fact its not "pretty high for what you get". Do you think all the facilities and the running of clubs is just magicked out of the sky with monopoly money???

[juan pablo]

Well said Pixie.

[theboy]

Relax now good lad, are the refs not paid after each game??? in most clubs players take it in turns to wash the kits to help with that cost. The reg fee doesnt do nearly anything for the running of the club.

I no to well what goes into the running cost of a club as ive paid a few bills out of my own pocket from time to time.

Its pretty high for the times we are in as im sure you look at any team in mayo, there are players not working or they have had there working days reduced and still have there own bills/families.

so maybe take a breath and chill..

I can understand all that dude. However this situation is just an example of the economy itself at scale. While wages and salaries have been effected costs have not changed. If a club reduces its registration its setting its self up for a deficit at the end of the year. Also its the same complaint from lads every year that they dont have it yet they miraculously have it in the pub every weekend to **** it up against a wall. Most clubs go back training in February. If you gave your club 20 euro per week you would have it paid off before a ball was kicked.

Yes the refs are paid after every game but most clubs take that out of the funds unless you have a system where by a collection is made. If you do then reg should be cheaper. If players want cheaper registration then it will mean extra revenue could be sought from fund raising and I dont know about you but you would be as well asking the wall to sell a ticket or do a flag day as you would the majority of fellas. Have you been involved at committee level boy? Now for that breath.....:yawn:

Yes refs would be paid before each game now rather than after,But that is a club expense.if you take ref cost and the cost of a player to play for a club you are looking in the region of €80 per player so any membership would have to higher than that amount.
I say well done if you can get players to wash football kits, I would take it most clubs, this would not happen. this just one of the many cost clubs would have, two which have not been mention league fines,pitch maintenance cutting of grass and pitch markings.
No one involved in football should be out of pocket.At the end of the day its collective responabilty of all members, players are members,first and formost.
While I do feel sorry for hardship cases, whist why they can't pay they can fund raise to help with the cost.

I don't think there is any need for nit picking here, My the way I didn't read what you had said on the previous page.
I was commenting on what The Boy had posted.
Now if you have somthing postive to add ,as to what I said I would welcome that.
If you disagree with I said I will gladly like to here your contribution.

How much are the different clubs charging for registration this year??

[NoelM]

With Parkside and Inver pulling out, does anyone know what will happen with regards to div.2? I guess that one team from div.2 will be promoted to div.1 to replace Inver and either two teams from div. 3 promoted or will the leave it at 7 teams in each division?

It was mention on MWR that the Mayo League would jig with it.

I here reg fee's as little as €50 and as much as 85 euros

[Redkenrover]

Was told of a club charging €150 for registration

[CRFC&SRFC]

Is there any site where Mayo league or cup fixtures are listed?

[jim_bob]

mayoleague.com or mayofootball.ie
but no fixtures for this season yet we will probably get those on the 9th of april the day before season kickoff

[renovater]

I would think that might be out of reach, can't see to many paying that amount. But I have no doubt there are clubs looking for that amount.I know Celtic drop its fees. Ballyheane also.

[yuri]

Celtic!

[pixiehead]

Celtic!


If you choose to play for a big club progressive club like celtic who have excellent facilities then you should expect to pay. Smaller clubs who have less to offer shouldnt really charge too much. At the end of the day the amount is between the clubs and its players. Every member has a right to attend an AGM or get themselves on a committee to raise the issue if they feel it is unjust else there is no use complaining on forums or behind peoples backs! No other club has a right to comment on another's fee's. I think this issue should be kept off a public forum especially club names

Totaly agre,different clubs can ofset the registration with not charging for other things,like our own club we dont charge for using our Asto-turf for training.On another thing our U16's qualified for the semi-finals of the Connaught shield with a 9-2 win over Ballyglass and our womens team had a big win over Ballinrobe Town.

I think thats a bit rich coming from you when you say no one has the right to complain on this forum,even if they are not happy with reg or any other business, when you have spent most of the time complaining what the Mayo League does, I do believe like all clubs, they have an A.G.M. too.
I really don't know what sets apart a big progressive club, when all clubs pay the same fees to the league they belong to.most clubs in my opinion have to meet the league criteria.What makes a big club is only the opinion of individuals

Good man reno, talk about taking up the wrong end of the stick all the time. Pixie was only referring to compaining about club registration fees when its within the power of every member of a club to have his say in this and yes the likes of Celtic are a bigger club than the likes of Ballyheane or Snugboro. By no means a better club just bigger.

[yuri]

Any news on fixtures? The leagues are starting mid-April apparently, so it's a bit surprising there are no fixtures out yet or are there?

I take that, just opinion. regards to big club. my point was the right, he says if you play for more progressive club you should pay more. Progressive is only the opinion of pixie. big clubs is more about location and the opinion of others.
Should Celtic be in Kilmore and kilmore in Castlebar then the opinion would be differant.thats not to say Kilmore is a lesser club.
He also refers fees is between club and player,it should be decided at Agm which all players should attented,shouldn't go behind back and complain after, didn't stop him.Theses are the points I was making.
Like all things you see it from a differant slant.Rava
I do agree when you say Celtic may be bigger, but not better

[pixiehead]

Didnt stop me what? Stop taking waffle. You would swear you never had a pop at that Mayo league yourself. I dont attend MFL AGMs because we have 2 elected reps to do that and yes if I have a problem Ill let them know so they can pass it on as is democratically employed at our club. And yes I have been at league meetings in the past as a matter of fact. And further more myself and a few others actually got up off our asses to bring some sense of networking between clubs last season so I dont just come on here all words and no action. If you would actually read some of the post on this forum you would find that most of my opinions on the league are agreed with by a lot of the members on this forum. I give the league credit were its due and critic where I see fit.
But thats you anyhow , never one to apologies and always running with the hare and hunting with the hound! Dont bother replying with some clap trap because I dont want to hear it.

First of all Pixie, I don't need to defend my self or my actions. secondly I don't think the views of your so called forum members, would get much credit with in The Mayo League.
As regards to your networking where did it go. No Where failed before it got off the ground.
As regards to spend time reading your past post, I don't think so.If its like what I am reading now,Its as well leave it were it is.

The League are only interested in their own agenda so obviously no they wouldnt care what anyone would have to day on here. But the majority of people here are good footballing people
secondly we had some very good meetings with a lot of clubs involved. You were not there so you actually dont know whether it done any good or not. It was attended by alot of very good "football" people who care about the game.If it didnt do any good why did the league attempt to break it down? Its certainly not disbanded. You really havent a clue what your talking about half the time and you cant spell. Your not a footballing person and youve never even kicked a ball. Just go round getting on peoples wick with your self righteous opinions to get noticed . Now we will agree not to reply in future siting massive difference of opinion.

[pixiehead]

No. It will meet again. Some clubs are very good and some dont want to know but every ones entitled to join

Mullraney the big loosers they finished above Moy Villa and Celtic B in last years Division 1 narrowly missing promotion and are in League 1 next season while Celtic B and Moy Villa are in Premier B.

Surely thats not possible.

how is it possible that mulranny got such a raw deal??

[Round Tower]

how is it possible that mulranny got such a raw deal??

That if these new tables are right as of this morning they are not on the Mayo league website,also we got a draw for Connaught under-age cups and shields,we were suposed to play a team from Galway in the quarter finals and we played Ballglass from Mayo in the U16 quarter-final of the Connaught U16 shield.

[Seasider]

Surely that has to be a sick joke. why should we have bothered competing last year if teams below us went up. can't see any justice in it although i await confirmation form HQ on this matter.

[Footy Mad]

Hearing today that it might be something to do with the fact that Mulranny never sent anyone to do the compulsory Senior Intro Coaching course that all SuperLeague, Premier A and Premier B clubs had to do. Celtic B probably had someone there so thats why they were promoted I'm thinking.

[achillrover]

Please god let this be true

[Round Tower]

Please god let this be true

Ya ye are happy ye have your big derby again.It must be through they are on Mid West Radio web-site but not on the Mayo league one.

[monkeydancer]

that cant be right......mulranny were should have won that division last year but their form dipped mid season.......bad form to let celtic up.

[monkeydancer]

someone sort that out...........

Are you stirring it up,should I give you wooden spoon.
looks as thou Mullranney didn't attend coaching sessions,that would play its part.
Best of luck to teams, and let the best teams win, on the pitch that is!!!!!!
