Become a club member.£43 a year.With capacity reduced most games are sold out making it practically impossible for non members to get tickets to any games.Cant even buy them off punters outside the ground as you need to show your membership card with your ticket at the turnstiles

Does becoming a club member pretty much guarantee you tickets? Also can you buy 2 tickets on the 1 membership card or is it 1 ticket per card?

Good point on the reduced capacity, I had forgot about that.

Thanks

Manchester United will only get rid of Van Gaal if they finish outside the top four at the end of the season.

He's already stated he's leaving this season....

Where you see this?

Well MR2.............Moneyglass, Casement's, Aldergrove, and Glenavy, just football......and Erin's Own did win their first county title in Hurling....consider the question again please.

Is it because Belfast clubs produce better footballers?

Do Cargin have good coaches? and if so why have they won at least 2 (out of 6) championships with an outsider? like I have said. they have a wider parish than the rest, they are close to the Derry club teams and pre season challenge games would be of a higher tempo and better pre for start of new year, probably that's why they have won so many leagues ?

I'm bored I could go on all day.. tell me in your view why Cargin are the only club in over 60 years outside of the big smoke to win a championship at senior level?

Cargin were in the doldrums for a long time but historically they wisely built upon a great minor team in the late sixties and a superb u21 side in the eighties. To be simplistic about it, Cargin have had one code to concentrate on, they benefit from the south derry schools competitive football system (but not exclusively), they have very committed football orientated families and have cultivated a competitive ethos over many years. They don't benefit from the transfer mentality that seems to prevail in Belfast and their players tend to stay involved for a decade or so. But in my mind, the single biggest difference in Cargin vs the other SW clubs is that, despite the numbers to choose from, almost all the underage boys in Cargin will turn out for the club. The percentage compared to other clubs such a portglenone, aldergrove, aghagallon etc is much higher. That gives an emotional buy-in to the club that I don't think exists in Belfast to the same extent nor in some of the other SW clubs.


Have cargin not struggled to field at certain age groups in recent seasons?

Rumour mata is dropped for di Maria  :o
Great call😉

Was a great call indeed. It would have been foolish to drop mata, and that's how it panned out.

It remains a mystery as to why he was out in the cold for so long tbf.

It's taken 30 league games (not to mention injuries/suspensions) for lvg to figure out his best formation and XI.
