Seems like there is only interest in Premier on foot this year?? Nice pull out on superleague in Mayo News credit to them. Little effort by the connaught which used to be very good. Havent seen the western? Soccer in all is taking a hammering in suport and interest with GAA success, imigration , and work commitments

In the Western they cover all of the divisions, its mainly talk to a manager of a team in each division. They talk too the Ballina Town, Swinford + other managers.

That dude from Crossmolina i think. He does the facebook page I think but im open to correction on that. As I said football has lost a lot of its zeal in the past few years. With Mayo and local GAA success people do not have as much interest. Even players couldnt be bothered anymore. I recently met with a lad who was with Celtic(A top player) and he informed me that he had stopped playing. When I inquired as to why he told me '" just too much commitment, id much prefer to enjoy the festivals and surfing over the summer'"

Thats one of the many things what we are up against!
As clubs I am afraid we just have to ride out the storm for the next few seasons, continue to play second fiddle to other sports and try and concentrate on our youth structures. And before someone brings it up....NO we are not going back to winter football

. AS soon as the national team gets a good run in the Euros soccer will blossom again and look attractive. Its a natural progression/regression cycle.

I believe some club members are prohibited from using public forums thus the lack of posts. So the few survivors on here are anarchists of the norm

�3,000 to register 2 teams for the league is another reason people have lost interest. It's money every week and that coupled with fines, travel expenses, referees and hour's of commitment to boot it's no wonder loads of people have switched off. Reality check is needed me thinks

Good, have you put it on Mayo television. You have a couple of tasty derbies there with, Mullranny, Newport and yourselves.

**achillrover** · 10/04/2014, 9:18 PM

Mayo television? We're global man.

Ya its a bit crappy considering all we did to get away from some of those teams with promotion last season to get screwed over and being stuck with them again with the league restructuring.
Need to get off to a flyer. See how things go from there

Class promo for the start of your campaign.

Certainly a lot more effort was put on this than the Mayo league put in for the new season. I agree with some of the points Pixie was making but the people in charge need to start inspiring the players that have left clubs to come back and play the 'beautiful game'. Mayo clubs have fantastic players, coaches and facilities to showcase but no platform to show off to the wider public. Need an underground PRO. I second achillrover.
