Antrim Football Thread

[Hectic]

Don't disagree but previous comment based on structures as they are.

My preference :

Div 1a 8 teams
Div 1b 8 teams

That wouldn't be far away.

8 team senior championship
8 team intermediate championship
Div 2 Junior championship
Junior B championship for Div 3

Could go 10/10 for league and championships also, and still be along same lines, but would be a split rather than 2 way league to avoid overload of league fixtures.

Again wouldn't be far away and would put us in a better place for Ulster, below senior, as well.

But too many wouldn't like being labelled Intermediate or Junior even if it would make for far better competitions as well as competitiveness beyond Antrim.

However many teams is decided, league and Championship should not be aligned. There are teams that struggle in the league year on year. Those teams should be able to go down and play div 2 league football and maintain senior status when they have their full panel available to them.

Has Paddy Tally left Derry to take the Antrim job!

The "county" is not looking for anyone.

The "county" has allocated this task to the clubs (its members) to give everyone a chance of recommending a suitable candidate for the position.

That I imagine includes most on here.

The "county" has not currently designated this role to anyone, including previous treasurers.

Now is the time for you or your club to be proactive, until next Friday when that shuts down.

In the usual absence of any club activity at all, it is likely a few people will be tasked with going out and having conversations.

Ps, the county is your county, not someone elses.

Strange in that there was notifications given, but obviously cancelled as clubs were correct with the timetable

Bar Ahoghill will all teams be participating?
