Advice issued to Mayo GAA supporters ahead of Ballybofey double header

DONEGAL GAA and Sean McCumhaill’s Club are extending a warm welcome to Mayo supporters to Ballybofey on Sunday next for two very competitive National Football League games (senior mens and ladies) between the counties. It is expected to be a huge occasion for the teams involved.

A statement issued by the Donegal County Board and host club reads as follows: “These games will result in increased traffic in the Ballybofey/Stranorlar area and we would advise all supporters to arrive early to avoid traffic congestion and potential delays in entering the stadium.

“Gates will open at 12 noon with tickets on sale at the grounds from 11.30 a.m. There will be no parking inside the grounds for this event.

“Entry to the stadium is by ticket only and no cash will be taken at the stiles. Advance Ticket purchases can be made in your local SuperValu or Centra store priced at €12 for adults. On match day tickets can be purchased from our Ticket Sales Offices priced at €15 for adults, €12 for students/OAP ticket (with valid ID). Under-16 go free on the day but they will require a ticket from the ticket office on the day.

“Entry to the stand is via the Villa Rose entrance only. With a large number of season tickets and pre-ourchased tickets seats in the stand will be on a first come first served basis. Stand seats cannot be reserved under any circumstances. We expect that the stand will be full by 1.30 p.m. and thereafter admission will be to the terrace area only.

“There are 15 spaces available to Blue Badge Holders at the Villa Rose entrance to the grounds. Blue Badge holders should arrive not later than 1 p.m.. Arrival after 1pm cannot guarantee entry to this area.

“We would ask you to please park legally and responsibly at all times. Please be conscious, mindful and respectful to the needs of local residents and businesses.”
