Antrim Football Thread

Surely Antrim won't run a full round of club league fixture in direct clash with the county game, will the Sunday games move to evening time?

The game is in Wexford, what time in the evening will suit someone in Glenravel?

Any predictions for this weeks games ?

I couldnt give a shiney shite how Antrim get on this weekend, the sooner Andy and (more importantly somewhat) his band of selectors get the road the better. That being said I do think its bad form for a round of league games to take place at the same time as they are playing, it won't affect me but I'm sure there are lads who would like to follow the game some way or other who will have their own game to play instead.

How many minutes until a certain someone rolls in with 'clubs can agree with eachother to change the time of the game blah blah blah'

Games changed to 4pm Wexford must be closer than I first thought 😱

Solutions?

I duno, its a really difficult one to solve but how about, hang on, yeah, how about the county move all the games to Saturday? Madcap idea I know

What if it doesnt suit?

[Milltown Row2]

Will we move all the other games to Sat also that are for Sunday too?

Forfeit the wexford game, who gives a toss about it anyway.

Aye that will work...

It's not about going to both games its about the minimum level of respect for club and county that they aren't in direct competition with each other, you just wouldn't see that happen anywhere else

So if I found dates of games in other counties on the same day their county team is playing would that make your statement wrong?

I haven't looked but I'm sure counties don't close down cause their team is playing.. it's less than 0.01 % of the playing membership, and if we can only muster 400 at Corrigan for home games, you are encouraging we stop all the club games?

I'm sure you've your ticket booked!

Btw when is the match? Sat or Sunday?

[Round or stuffed]

sorry, I'll rephrase, you can be sure any county that takes themselves seriously wouldn't be at it

[Round or stuffed]

and for clarity, I think 4pm on Sunday is fine, as it doesn't clash directly with the game

I posted a response to similar points a few weeks ago.
The county set fixtures out in march (late enough in my and a lot of people's opinion).
That allows clubs and players to plan as much as possible for all issues. Let's cover a few such as pitch availability, weekends away, family occasions such as first communions and christenings, travel for work.
In fact it gives clubs a good scope of time to contact other teams for agreement should they wish to move a specific fixture.
Now that the CCC in Croke have set a fixture on a Monday prior to a weekend you want the county to switch all fixtures?
Imagine they done this to the 16 fixtures, 32 teams and approximately 500+ players involved on Monday night or Tuesday.
