Quote from: RedHand88 on February 07, 2025, 01:22:46 PMUnpopular opinion, but I'm leaning towards Ulster GAA on this. Corrigan Park is not fit for purpose for an Ulster Championship match. Antrim have the opportunity to host the game, it is up to them to find a venue suitable.
This isn't like the Newbridge debacle a few years back which was an obvious cash grab.

Antrim had a venue suitable to host it and were told to hand the keys over to the Ulster Council. That project failed. If it's not Corrigan, take it to Ahoghill. Feck Ulster.

Sure why not take it to Ballycastle?

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on February 02, 2025, 12:45:40 PMManagers shouldn't have to 'seek' players out, players should make themselves available, it's a privilege in any other county but Antrim to represent it.



For once we agree. It should be every young players dream to wear the saffron

Quote from: Belfast GAA man on February 01, 2025, 07:47:04 PMShould county taken action against portglenone and cargin if they don't support the county teams? Strange to deprive lads of honour of playing for county

With City men in charge.

Why? The South West have carried the county for years. They need a break.

Certainly carried the county all the way to Division 4.

Quote from: Saffron71 on January 29, 2025, 06:32:46 PMYea less games make no sense tbh.  The only reason I can think of Loughgeil wanting a one way league is so that they can potentially plan a few trips down south to play challenge games maybe. 

Why would they do that?

Quote from: Saffrongael on December 31, 2024, 07:59:12 PMCushendun is an interesting one, Naomh Padraig is obviously their "club" but a couple played for Cushendall minors last year.

If I lived in Cushendun I'd probably send my kids to Cushendall TBF but obviously the main complexity of it is you'd want them back to Cushendun when adults which could be difficult. Naomh Padraig covers such a vast area so some might decide to send them 10 mins round the road for consistency rather than different pitches with I believe 4 clubs involved in that amalgamation.



Why would you send them to Cushendall if Cushendun had a team?

Quote from: imtommygunn on December 28, 2024, 02:34:34 PMYeah it's just the nature of rural communities really. Forgot about Naomh padraig.

Still waiting for the dervock, portrush, ballymoney combination  ;D

(Ballymoney did have football at one point mind you).

Omerbane was Glenravel & Cloughmills which led to St Brendans which was Cushendun joining up also.

Some gobshites on this board. It's worse than Twitter turned out.

They've been brave enough to put their names forward, wish them good luck and get on with it.
