Syferus was waffling about Athlone castle being in Roscommon I think. Then he went on to claim Paraig Pearses were in the Monksland area  ::) Maybe Rossfan or is it Rossman has a case.

Because you decided to be an identikit smartarse, Croi, I'll prove my point. I expect that guff from Rosfan, but not from you.

Pearses stretches from pretty much Ballinsloe to about 9-10km from Monksland by road, less directly. I didn't say Pearses were in Monksland itself. What route out of Athlone does one take to get to Woodmount? I'll give you a hint - it begins with an M. Like everywhere else club boarders have become less important and there's not just Clann flags out the Monksland road, but that's beside the point.

If 10km isn't 'in the Monksland area', in a conversation centred on Athlone, then you are a pedantic as they come.

Moving on.

Yes, lets move on. Its tough have a discussion when you twist it all to suit your atgument.

Back to the actual point, I see McGuiness has blasted the donegal county board for their homecoming argument. Fair play to him. Its tough enough prepare a team without that distraction. And its insulting to Mayo.

They're out to get us on all sides FFS  >:(
At least the Laythrums didn't get Cortober or the main part of Rooskey or we'd be effed altogether.

Don't all those west of the Shannon in Athlone play with Clann na Gael ?

Depends. St. Brigid's eats into some outlying areas of Athlone, Paraig Pearses are in the Monksland area. Clann is actually only two half parishes wedged between those two clubs.

Just to correct, Pearses is about 10km from Monskland. Monksland entirely falls within Clann na Gael, and St Brigids doesn't even touch any of the urban part of Athlone. You have to pass through Clann to get to Brigids if you leave Athlone.

It's really not that simple. Brigid's success means I know of a good few families who moved to the area that chose them, nevermind people from Kiltoom moving to houses closer to Athlone. Boundary lines are far from clear-cut in urban and semi-urban areas.

Indeed, isn't Ganleys stores at the roundabout at the start of the Roscommon road in the Brigids catchment area for example. As for the Garrycastle/Athlone divide on the other side of the river  ::)
How did an All-Ireland final thread end up discussing this ?!

Ganlys is indeed the end of the St. Brigids catchment area. After that you're in Clann.
Syferus, I'm talking about actual parish boundaries, not where members move to. Thats a whole different can of worms. Just making the point that the most populated area in Roscommon falls within Clann na Gaels area.
And I don't know how we got to this discussion.
