Lurgan

[JimStynes]

You need to know the right roads to avoid the railway lines . Anyway no railway lines in my part of the town and a 5 min walk to the GAA club...Class

Shiny b**tard!

Lurgan is a great town in comparison to the likes of Portadown, Lisburn, Antrim etc. It's a sports mad town but I agree the traffic is a joke at times. The usual scumbags at weekends but no more than any other place. The best footballers come from just outside the town in Aghagallon.

Great compared to Portadown Lisburn etc.!!
Thats some recommendation

I know! But people are making it out that it is the biggest shit hole about when in fact it is no where near as bad as lots of places in the north.

Lurgan renowned for Master Mc Grath and Tidsy Mc Kerr,not much else

Strange such a die hard Armagh fan doesn't mention Diarmuid Marseden, or do members of the (only) senior all Ireland wining team not count these days?

Or B O'Hagan

Or Colm McKinstry, Jimmy Smyth and close by Paddy Moriarty and Brian McAlinden to name a few.

Which makes a pleasant change from having your foot there.

As bad as that was, a huge number of us of a particular age were born in Portadown in the Carleton Maternity Hospital on Church Street regardless of where our parents were living.

A bit like no children have been born in Tyrone for at least 15 years.

Really? None? I find that hard to believe.

Most of them born in Armagh...lol (Craigavon Hospital). Tyrone don't have Hospitals (well no A&E and obviously Maternity)

Lurgan born and bred and I loved growing up in the place. I love getting home too. Yeah it has its problems - railway gates - but overall it's a great town. I have many many fabulous memories.

Why's the ground always wet in Lurgan?

[Orior]

Why has Lurgan two cycling clubs? Is one more leisurely than the other?

Thanks to SF minister moving the only acute hospital and maternity unit to Enniskillen to buy votes in that constituency and now SWAH withers away due to lack of use (Tyrone children are born in Craigavon and Derry) and being unable to recruit consultants and doctors.  If you have any emergency they can't treat it but will patch you up and then send you to Belfast, Craigavon or Derry.  Most people now go direct to Craigavon or Altnagelvin, despite the SF failure to deliver the A5 to take you safely and quickly in either direction.  Thanks SF, it hasn't affected your vote in West Tyrone.

Probably a pile born at home though. Or in a barn.

Recently a wee one was born on the roadside in Tyrone, on the way to Derry

Smart move by the newborn I reckon.
