Antrim Football Thread

[Na Glinntí Glasa]

The first club to put up a small stand will get all the plaudits. At least 5 in Derry, possibly 7 in Tyrone... but not one in Antrim since old Corrigan stand was demolished.

wont be us sadly lol were in the middle of sorting out the final funding for a new 4G pitch to the side of the Academy on that tarmac area. Much in the same vein as what Creggan have there to be fully flood lit as well for use during the winter time. Pitches is what we need more as we dont allow the main field to be used for training by any grade so were all on the second pitch. its taking a hammering at the moment so more playing space is the priority.

No doubt DR the pitch would come before the notion of a covered standing area. Dunloy a great example of a progressive club...a 90% hurling club who can step up to win a county minor football title. Some achievement. 22 clubs with covered stands in Tyrone is an impressive stat too it has to be said!

I was reading an article in the last few months from Holland, and I am sure the gist of it was that they had stopped building 3/4g pitches in Holland due to the amount of serious injuries, all back up with research.

Can you measure a counties enthusiasm or commitments to our games by the amount of covered stands they have, you can in Tyrones case.

Do aldergrove still have 2 points to be deducted ?

and to Glenavy on getting up from Div 2

[bannside]

Bottom of Div 1looks like a straight shoot out between Aldergrove and Ahoghill to see who joins St Pauls for the drop. They play each other in their last game for survival in the top flight.

An indoor facility like Dunloy or Randalstown for me would be more desirable than a covered stand.  Of course both would be good but the ability to work all year round, and in all weather, particularly with the youth would be a massive boost to any club.
