Its alright we will see et you in the qualifiers in Enniskillen. (or are we on different sides of that this year?)

[imtommygunn]

Miss you guys

I think I'd rather have you guys despite the fact you beat us every year!!

I was hoping for Down or Armagh to be honest.

Be a big split in the Aghagallon camp with Armagh getting Down in the Ulster Championship

We have only a handful of Down supporters in the club. No big split in the club!

Better PR day for Antrim with great coverage of the Saffron Business Forum event last week and the opening of Dunsilly tomorrow. Both very positive developments but little or no word of recognition on it here.

Sure there will be detractors who wish to focus more on the car parking arrangements etc, but at the very least we now have 3 full size pitches to train our county teams on. Better than the days only a decade ago we were running about like nomads asking Randalstown rugby club for a lend of their floodlite facilities. So credit where it's due to everyone involved in the project for seeing it through. That encompassed 3 different county chairmen and various boards.

The Saffron Business Forum is a most interesting development. I couldn't make it last week but already have three or four businessmen committed to contributing £1k per year for the next five years. We all have a role to play, no matter how small. So let's all enjoy the positivity and do our bit to help turn Antrim Gaa around and set us up for a better future for the next generation.

Credit where credit is due for sure but car parking is going to be an issue as it has a direct impact on supporters. Surely there will be people who will be negative but a spade is a spade, all well and good having 3 pitches and a fine set up but whats the point if there is limited parking?

I know very little about the Saffron Business forum apart from what I saw on twitter, looks a good idea.

It's hard to be positive when we still don't have a county ground

was at a match last sunday at Dunsilly, was impressed with the facilities and the hill there to stand and watch the match but parking will become a problem. i got the shuttle bus down for £1 which was handy but you still have to sit and wait around for it. people did park on the hard shoulder but i think the cops will have a problem with that if it continues.
It will be the main reason we wont see big games there.
