How the All-Ireland win can lift the county

As the county prepares for a winter in the company of Sam Maguire, Rob and John are joined on the pod by Edwin McGreal and historian Liam Heffron to assess how Mayo's All-Ireland win has the potential to be a game-changer for the county more widely. The lads discuss how the exploits of the Mayo team that came so close to glory a decade ago helped to alter the perception Mayo people had about themselves and the place they come from and how that impact is so much greater now that the promised land has been reached.  They chat about how Mayo's story, economically as well as on the football field, has been about battling against the odds and demonstrating resilience in the face of repeated setbacks. Using the analogy of the building of Knock airport, the lads consider how Mayo's All-Ireland victory sets a template for the county to consider what it could do itself to facilitate greater economic progress locally in the years ahead.
