Mayo will be shouted on by converted fans all over the globe

Around 30,000 Mayo fans are expected to be inside Croke Park when Sunday’s All- Ireland SFC final gets underway. Thousands more will be watching and listening around the world, hoping and praying the Westerners beat Dublin and end Mayo’s 65 year wait for fame and glory.

Dotted around the globe too are many recently-converted, newly-born Mayo supporters who have stumbled across the ‘Green and Red’ story on their travels.

People who been drawn to the team’s quest to bring ‘Sam Maguire back home to Mayo’ (as the song goes), but many of whom wouldn’t know Swinford from Shrule.
