Antrim Hurling

[Na Glinntí Glasa]

i think its the only ground thats actually open for business. would it not of been better at the Dub?

I presume the DIT game has been changed to St Paul's because our Tarmac work isn't completed yet. The county can't be expecting a big crowd. There was almost 2000 at the McKenna Cup game V St Marys, St Paul's couldn't have coped with that surely? Where are spectators meant to park? St Paul's car park holds about 20 cars maximum. Only one side of the pitch available to spectators as well.

if there was almost 2000 people yesterday at Creegan I will eat my hat, 250 people max and that's from someone who seen the second half. unless 1750 people walked out past me at half time I would say 250/300 max. but I do agree st pauls is a terrible venue for County games esp national league games. it may well be able to cope with the vast flux of people going to the DIT game but that would be about it. the wee man must be taking over already in prep for the big job next year.

Whats wrong with using Queens? great venue and facilities

Pitch is too short for hurling, no midfield!

[brendanbelfast]

I'd say there was 400 - 500 there yesterday.

I havent been in creggans pitch since playing there in the minor football and that was in the late 90's! whats it like to watch a match at, i cant rem a thing about the pitch.

is it the same as ahoghill with limited viewing options?

Creggan certainly a better option that St Paul's - as would Ahoghill.
The new pitch at the Dub is too short for Gaelic football let alone hurling - Fitzgibbon was played to top pitches.

Oh the farce in 2015 of a county scampering around for a pitch to play on!
And we all know why!

My apologies I had the 2000 figure in my head from a reply given to a question on the county guestbook. Quote copied below:

whats the capacity for st pauls ground for county games? great to see the football team back in belfast.

St Paul's have been able to cater up to around 2000 people at their Ulster Minor Final.
