All Antrim games home games in football  (with the exception of one, 9th feb) are to be played in Creggan in 2014...........great venue!
I suppose the Creggan gate 'clickers' will be taking up strategic positions as the punters flood in.  Sure to keep the Antrim gate men on their toes and improve the count/tally  ;)  I understand they were not too pleased following championship games hosted by Creggan, surprised Creggan got the nod all the same, great venue and all that, but,  :o

I,ve said this before-bakers sole tactic was to play a sweeper.Antrims success was largely down to Terry O'Neill being able to play it so effectively.Other teams caught onto this but Antrim contjnued on without a plan b.I,d have expected adams/madden to be more astute but lets just hope paddyb has learned  a little along the way.if hes half as good a coach as he was a player then antrim will benefit,if not then we could be in trouble.
some tactic indeed, took us to an ulster final, back to back promotions, and a trip to tullamore for an all ireland quarter final (in which we scared the proverbial s**t outa the kingdom............possibly a smidgeon of bias in ur post.
Yeah and what about the relegation and shitty form after everyone worked out how we played each time.selective memory.

Did Creggan catch the county out? Since there is a revenue split, was the county ripping off Creggan, or were the gate men ripping off both club and county :-*

Does Creggan's pitch have any seats?

None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

AntrimRealist

Whereabouts? All i can see is concrete steps.....

country bumpkin

no seats at Creggan and that is for real.....................how many other grounds in the County (with the notable exception of Corrigan) do facilitate their patrons with seated accommodation?.....................

Corrigan stand has been closed a few years, whats your point AntrimRealist? does a temporary county ground need seating?

Creggan will do nicely. A great pitch and good to get a few county games out into the SW for a change.

Thought it was an excellent venue for the county final

Would there not be a plan to put in some temporary bleacher type seating for some of the patrons requiring this?

Sure that requires thinking, consideration of immobile patrons, foresight etc.  Not in abundance nor
readily available  ;)
