I'm so pleased the SW won something this year... can't claim the Dunloy team unfortunately so winning the venue and referee will have to do

[Spike]

So am I. SW facilities all excellent and based off their own hard work and money. Its a real pity some clubs cant even maintain the paltry facilities that they do have, despite handouts. Condemned stands & changing rooms here, tarnished county grounds there, begging bowl always at the ready.  Some clubs always looking to take shortcuts with the quick and easy options......reminds me of the county board.

How many SW pounds will it cost me to watch this spectacle on Sunday?

Fair play it's taken years for your lot to get sorted.. remember getting changed in the car for years cause the wooden huts were terrible! Tractors pulling the cars out off the field, the pitch was a field with cow and sheep crap all over it!

Maybe that's why the SW were so crap for years

It's Called banter ... or slagging,  you were giving it for two years now it's bad craic? If you can't take it, don't give it.. so calm down

[Spike]

Ah the good auld days. Its funny how things have changed and now its the big smoke where you need to bring a pair of wellies for the match and a cloth to wipe the pigeon guano from the changing rooms.  Character building id say.

I jest of course 

on that point though, wheres Lennys backroom staff??

[Na Glinntí Glasa]

is there no chance we could ever look at getting the games streamed live for the likes of a final? Armagh TV are years ahead of everyone and its brilliant to use to watch a game.

this is totally non SW, lenny etc related so it may cause confusion lol

As far as I know its been discussed by the PRO but lack of funding was the sticking point also, decent vantage points at games was a problem.

Does it involve the county board spending money?  Then no
Does it involve some forward thinking by the county board?  Then no
Does it involve a strategy, willing volunteers, a process of works to highlight the countys presence?  Then no
Does it involve taking away from the potential gate receipts at a county final?  Then no

It could be a money maker. Pastie Quinn from C'Dall streamed the Semi & Final live on FB and charged a donation in return for doing so, he was doing the half marathon for Marie Curie so he used his go fund me page to collect money. Great idea.  £5 per game or say a £40 one off season ticket and sure your laughing.

The highlights over the last few seasons have superb and the work of the PRO and his volunteers should be built upon. Same as the Saffron Gael, superb idea by Curly and Paddy.
