This is what the money raised from the Saffron Sweep will be going towards. 

Get your ticket soon, less than 3 weeks left!!!!

I take it that you're the one person to buy a ticket through your club???

Yep at the very start when testing the online payments.
The club has more sales, just haven't returned the tickets yet

Are you the only one to buy from your club?

[Mhic Easmuint]

And have you bought your own yet?

I'm sure you could think of plenty to do with £40,000 cash.

Its good to see Antrim at least making a professional attempt at fund raising so I applaude everyone involved.

As for SS2 I wish you would stop pedalling this persecution complex that the football people in Antrim have, there is no excuse for antrim being so poor in football the best football in the country has been played in the neighbouring counties for the past 10 - 15 years and we have still not moved on, there is no geographical problems for football here. If the football clubs would get thier act together and get the standard up we could be a power house but they want to sit back and bitch and snipe at everyone else for not helping them.

As for north antrim i have to say that they are ahead of the curve on most things and they are driving our games forward which should be the case all over the county but sadly isnt.

Agree that the efforts of Club Antrim should be applauded. I'm told that their race event on 30th is completely sold out weeks ago - changed times. Get out and support the  sweep.

The new training grounds etc seem to be a very professional setup and this is the kind of thing which helps it which is always a plus point.

One thing in terms of development which I would raise questions on... Why do St Enda's see the need to play in North Antrim hurling / South West Antrim football? What is going on with the south belfast teams that they need to do this?

North Antrim and South West are generally well organised with underage leagues - is south antrim not the same?

Posted a cracking message on the guestbook today but they wouldn't post it. I said that I spent all my family's holiday money in the bookies, backing Antrim to win Sam. I then said that the wife is expecting a holiday and knows nothing of my gambling addiction and asked them if they could rig the draw so that I win the holiday.

You'll get us tyronnies a bad name hardstation... not easy... I know, but...
