The match between Mayo and Tyrone at MacHale Park ended with Mayo losing 0-12 to Tyrone's 0-10. The PA announcer's unusual warning about halftime departures added an odd note to the game. While aimed at managing crowd flow, it seemed unnecessary given the disappointing nature of the match. Fans might have reconsidered attending after the first half, suggesting that the game's performance may not have incentivized spectators to stay on for the second half.
Before this game in MacHale Park, Castlebar, the stadium PA announcer advised spectators that if they left the venue at half-time they'd have to purchase a new ticket to regain entry.
There may be some exacting event management ploy to explain why such a prohibition was put in place but if there was anyone who did choose to duck out of the venue during the interval, they must have been tempted to keep going!
