Aye same as, where abouts in Omagh is it?  I'll be coming from the...ehhh... Cavan side??
Is there a big stand there or what's the story?

You're as well to plan ahead. I've only been there once, for the Donegal-Monaghan qualifier a few years back. We went via Pettigo and Irvinestown, and I figured when I found a space in the centre of the town where loads of people were parking, that we'd be safe enough taking it and following the crowd. Big mistake if you've an uncle in his seventies with you! The pitch is at least a mile or so out the road north of the centre of the town, so if you've anyone with you who might have an issue with a lot of walking, try and park out near it.

Lads you'll have no bother getting a space to park near the ground, plenty of car parks and as it's the Mc K cup the crowds won't be huge. Also sure of a covered seat as the stand holds 5k and minute chance of it being full. Once in omagh town centre follow signs for Gortin and you'll find healy park no prob.

Thanks to all.

The Derry v Down game is live on TG4 on Sunday.

Can any of the Derry wans recommend a good hotel in Derry for Saturday night?

[Maguire01]

I wouldn't book anything just yet - I can see them all being called off unless the weather improves significantly.

[Trevor Hill]

I ll wait to Saturday to book anything, cant imagine that hotels will be that full this weekend so I am really only looking for a recommendation. Have stayed in too many flea pits over the years.
I doubt this game will actually go ahead this weekend, but if it does we`ll be there.

[omagh_gael]

I doubt there'll be no games on this weekend, in the west at least, still a good bit of snowing lying around here in omagh and frank mitchell was on the box saying could be as low as -10 by the weekend!

[ExiledGael]

Can't see them going ahead myself, certainly not in the north west anyhow.
If it does come to pass then go no further than the Tower Hotel. Probably the closest possible decent hotel to the ground but still a safe distance away just inside the walls. Reasonably priced too.

I stayed in this B&B for the weekend. Really sound owner and located in Bogside so only short walk to city ctr. Nice rooms and I think the price was good...
