Armagh Club football & hurling

[Triggerhappy]

just been looking at the "MyArmagh" document and i am impressed with the proposals for the new centre of excellence. Has anyone any idea where it is to be located?

[Onion Bag]

Armagh Centre of Excellence approx cost £3.7 million  30-35 acre site

Tyrone Centre of Excellence approx cost £6 miilion 40 acre site

are we doing this job on the cheap or is it going to be a shit hole in comparison to our neighbours

[charlie stubbs]

can anyone post the u21 fixtures for this week?cheers

[thewanderer]

onion always the doubting Thomas. do you think anyone spending 3.7 million will develop a shit hole as you state would be bonkers. Two factors you havent considered 1) land is cheaper now and or it may be on a long term lease from a public body. 2 development costs are much more competitive than a year ago. havin spoke to club tyrone people they estimate that if they wer starting again now you could knock 20-30% of the cost. So dry your eyes and contribute to the development instead of always being negative but still wanting the best but with no input.
ps Charlie just been given a fixtures book thks.

my armagh just launched on youtube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJuUTPPMY5c&playnext_from=TL&videos=njTxrFl6NZg&feature=sub

some good stuff on it, but is this just a football development thing?
no clips of hurling teams?
no clips of ladies football teams?
no camogie clips?
no club clips?
are these teams not as important to 'my armagh'...or is 'my armagh' just 'my armagh county footballers'?

[Armamike]

Although the dvd focuses on football clips my understanding of it is that this initiative is for the development of all gaelic games in Armagh, not just football. The county is already pumping a lot of money and resource into hurling so i'm sure that will continue.

It's been overdue but it's really commendable what they're trying to do. i like the fact they're scrapping the friends of Armagh and Orchard club schemes and putting one brand out there that people can buy in to. It's probably the most ambitious undertaking ever in Armagh and is going to take a helluva lot of work and effort but with the likes of Paul Kelly leading it up i would be confident that there are good people in charge who will be able to deliver it. Himself and the other speakers at the launch of this last Friday night spoke really well and were very inspiring. I just hope they can get the message out on this to as many Armagh supporters as possible.

[yellowcard]

This 'my Armagh' looks good in theory but with people being more selective in how they choose to spend their money I can't see this scheme taking off with the general public. I know personally my first loyalty will be to my club where I can see some real tangible benefit for the local community. After that I will support the county sure, but I don't have that same sense of attachment. From talking to fellow club members I know a lot of them would be of similar opinion. However I commend the plans and hope they can raise the finance needed.

there should def have the hurling and club stuff, but 'my armagh' is being run by the County Board which is GAA, Ladies football and Camogie have their own organisations seperate from the GAA (rightly or wrongly)

[thewanderer]

look at the "my armagh" and i cant beleive that 178k was spent on armagh hurling teams in 2009. what a waste of money considering that little or no income came in from national league, sponsorship etc. i commend those hurlers in the county for playing the game but unfortunately armagh will never reach the senior hurling stage of division 1 teams. you only have to look at antrim who have great tradition and invested millions in recent years but now are going backways on the field. as gerry would say "its margaret in wonderland" to think armagh can be a top hurling county. handing out reams of playing gear etc each year does not improve the game. as for the plans of "my armagh" hopefully this will be a great success as we have stood still on the facilities within the county despite being one of the most successfull and well supported teams of the past 10 years.

whether or not Armagh Hurlers ever become one of the top teams in the country is irrelevant, thats not what the gaa is about
