I see that young lad Mc Allister turned Celtic down as he couldnt agree personal terms
Jaysus, unless it was p1ss poor, you would be hard pressed to say NO to going professional
Are there 2 other firm offers from clubs in England? Any idea who they are?

I think he just realised that he would have a better chance of breaking into the first team of one of the other teams that are interested in him. If he was to sign for celtic there were always going to be 4 or 5 forwards ahead of him. According to the sun today man city, cardiff and leeds are after him.

This may be old news, but I think it is the first time that I have come across the specifics of the proposed redevelopment of the Athletic Grounds:

Construction work is expected to commence in Early 2007 on the upgrading of an existing stadium at Athletic Grounds, Dalton Road, Armagh, Co. Armagh. The redevelopment will take place in three phases. Phase 1 of the development will involve the construction of a 1,000 to 1,500 seated uncovered stand on the Ceannaras side and terracing to the Dromarg side of the grounds being extended around behind both goal areas. Phase 2 of the development will involve the installation of floodlighting to game standard at a cost in the region £650,000, which should get underway by the end of next year. Planning permission is currently being sought for the floodlights. The final phase which will cost in the region of £1.5 Million will include a fully covered stand with seating capacity for 4,5000, served by electronic turnstiles, CCTV, a full PA system and a first aid room. Tenders for a Main Building Contractor are currently being assessed.

It has started alright - the heavy plant/machinery is in place - if I see anything worthwhile re progress, I'll get the camera and take a couple of snaps.

good idea rufus! a few snaps every now and again would be well especially if you could get them onto this site.

total madness trying to make a field out of the pathetic grounds it should have been sold off and we should have moved to a new complex befitting a county carrying our sort of support its only going to be a matter of time before the residents in that area kick up a la croke park residents etc and we will have all sorts of restrictions and be forced to hand over tickets blah blah to keep them quite a bad move me thinks

raffo to the rescue!! just heard last friday saw the armagh manager come to the aid of his poyntzpass club as they were about to succomb to perenial losers phelim bradys. raffo seeing his club in trouble quickly togged out for the last ten minutes and used his craft to win a couple of frees which he kicked over the bar much to the relief of o'hanlons management. watch out for more heroics in ballybofey maybe hughie morgan will sponsor him a cape
