Our secretary says he did not recieve anything and he only recalls this being discussed at a delegates meeting not voting on it.I would have thought the league would welcome some input from its clubs
I dont understand why this is such an issue for the Mayo League to clarify. They either have it decided thats there 4 teams going down or its 2. With 5 games left its not good enough that teams dont know. I'd say if it turns out to be 2 teams going down snugboro might not have given up hope so soon if they had known only 2 teams goin down.
Has anyone just rang the Mayo League Chairman and asked him what the story is???
or as someone said previously are they waiting to see who is in the bottom 4.......
This has been the issue from the start and no one can clarify anything, What was the outcome from the club's meeting? are they sentting up a meeting with the ML or as i said on here earlier loads of peolpe talking and complaining and no one doing anything. Clubs need this resolved before the season enters the final few games and even if that means a strike or boycot then so be it. What's all the "wait and see" approach for?
Every Club,Organisation and Business have rules and regulations that have to be adhered to.I really cannot fathom this that there was no official clarification from the Mayo League.They are an amateur body that want to have professional standards and yet all that i have heard is gobbeldy gook.I have to agree with the above post that its a wait and see who is in the bottom four before an official word will come out
Its the arrogance of the league that gets to me, they know clubs have major concerns about this but just keep adding fuel to the fire with statements like yesterday. They have been elected by us the clubs to run our league something they seem to forget, I had high hopes for a more concillitary chairman than previous but alas its seems to be more of the same.
God help the person that approaches the league on behalf of the clubs they will get banned for life.
Strikes and boycotts can be very devisive tools which in the long run will only cause more harm then good to the game in the county.
Whern is the next delegate meeting if its nots for a month or more, is there a mecanism where the clubs can demand a meeting and bring this to a head. If there is a meeting could the clubs call a vote on the issue to go back to the status quo 2 up and 2 down because no one but the the league managent commitie is looking for change I have been to one delegate meeting and thats was years ago. If this does not work maybe the Sports talk shop on Mid-West radio might take up the matter.
Did you not ask your club representative how the meeting went?
Not actually affiliated to any club but have very strong feelings about the direction the game is going in Mayo.
I finally got a run down on this club meeting that took place(only took me a week). It was apparently a very civil affair with all clubs in agreement that the 8 team division idea to be scraped, interestingly however is the fact that a number of clubs who attended this famed delegates meeting last year said that no vote took place to pass the motion so somebody is telling fibs on that one and no secretary can remember or find any notification of same prior to season kick off. Also the fines issue was hotly debated with many clubs asking for a end to some of these ridiculous sanctions.
Back n the game, i assume you are not involved with any club at present? Think you would be a good person to chair any club liason committee. You obviously have a strong interest in the game in Mayo but without any vested interest from a club point of view.
Lets give a little Credit where it is due,The mayo league have introduced certain rules down through the years to make the standards probably the best in the country.EG Dressing Rooms,Fenced in pitches etc.Individual Clubs have to meet criteria to be involved in the Mayo League.Whilst that is all good,the latest is that clubs will have to have scoreboards.In my opinion and in the current economic climate that is taking everything a little bit too far.Also this whole debate about how many go up or come down is bordering on the silly.If as The chairman of the mayo league said that this particular issue about an 8 Team Superleague was voted on,why can they not send out official clarification to all the clubs.I just get the Impression that it a wait and see who is involved in the relagation from the superleague,Which I have to say is very unfair on all clubs involved.In relation to the whole issue about Crazy Fines I really cannot comment as I dont know anything about this subject only what I have read.Come on lads,Remember this is about Football.Lets get it sorted !!
No im not involved at the moment. Played with two clubs in Mayo over the years but thats fado fado now. My understanding was that there was an excellent football man to Chair these meetings? and anyway its time the clubs themselves put up or shut up and stood up for themselves, the game is supposed to be an enjoyable outlet for 8 months of what would otherwise be a boring existance and a means of people expressing themselves on and off the pitch but we seem to have lost our way and the concentration now is on finances (fines and administration), divisional set up (or the lack there of) and from what i see poor refereeing in the extreme.
There is becoming massive divide between the Mayo League and the people on the ground and the lack of communication is causing friction and a real sence of restleness between all the clubs. This is not the first time they have kept the clubs in the dark in relation to last minute decisions and basturdised conconctions to try to squirm out of tight corners '08 season Kilmore getting promoted to the SL ( but via a playoff that was never on the calender), '09 season 1 up, 2 up, 1 down, 2 down....... sure we'll " wait and see who finishes where". No straight answers. The lunatics have finally taken over the asylum.
Its not an 8 team super league thats the problen its each division they want 8 teams. Agree thats alot of what they have done over the years but a score board is a step too far, why dont they obey their own rules as i did not see any score board in Milebush last Sunday. It would be more in line if they got clubs to keep their surfaces in good order by having a competation for the best playing surfaces competation in each division and an overal prize. Their has been complaints on these forns abiut pitches in Mulranny and Ballyvary this season.
Not sure if he is interested in the position full time, I'm sure details of anymore upcoming meetings will be posted here and maybe you could come along. Good people needed to get back involved in the game.
k/lk united are having there senior mens 5 ASIDE BLITS this sunday aug 1st. squads of 7, 70 euro per team. starts 11am. to enter call ray 0863859499, or paul 0860712325
Is there any truth that the "connacht senior league" could be coming back? and maybe this is why the ML dont know if it will be 4 or 2 to go down out of the SL. for example if Ballina and westport or even erris were asked to join the CSL and they said yes and 4 were sent down from the SL it would make a mess of the whole thing. i think there waitin to see if the CSL will be set up for next season and if the maybe 3 mentioned teams above will enter before they say if its 2 or 4 goin down....
