Antrim Football Thread

[paddyjohn]

Plenty of blow ins up around Musgrave, some from big clubs like Mr Brolly, others from small neighbouring clubs.

Perhaps highlights the general apathy in Antrim for attending.  we could barely sell out Corrigan for the antrim v cavan championship match earlier in the year.  Cargin from a small rural parish divided 3 ways wasn't going to fill Corrigan.  Don't know if it is a travelling issue for Corrigan or if things would even change if shifted back up the country.  Hard to tell.  Felt like Ahoghill was getting good crowds of neutrals a few years ago.

My geography might be off but I would have thought Cargin had one of the bigger catchment areas from the SW clubs? Granted Creggan are not too far down the road and there is a grey area as to where the club boundaries would be.

Who would have the biggest and smallest catchment areas?

Cargin actually have a very small catchment area.
Newbridge take everything over the bridge.
Moneyglass have everything outside the bypass and a percentage in the village and almost everything past Cargin chapel is Creggan .When it is taken into account the numbers we actually have to work with you then realise how much Cargin actually punch above their weight.
On a similar note when I watched the game again last night I
hadn't noticed while at the game how little support we had there , shockingly bad support for our team which generally is well supported. Not sure what the reason was for that but if Cargin people can't come out and support our team we can't expect neutral and fellow county patrons to attend the game.

To be fair I thought there was a good amount of neutrals there, I was with a few Galls ones there was Portglenones I was talking to and plenty other city supporters there also, mainly over on the grassy bank or the east terrace as its called lol

Any st brigids ones on the grass bank ?

Any word on Aghagallon appointment or any of the other clubs? Think Aghagallon would be an interesting challenge for some1. I presume the majority of management teams are remaining in Div1. McNulty to remain, Douglas, McCabe and Herron all staying on

[wolfofwhitehall]

Who is douglas

[Milltown Row2]

Who is douglas

Aaron, I assume? St Johns

[Cnoc Bán]

Semi final fixed for Omagh.

WTF is the logic behind that??

[Rodger Mona]

i was just curious as Aghagallon are now at a bit of a crossroads, couldnt believe the management stepped away in first place after the finish to their year. Must have a better propostion elsewhere. TNN also looking a manager i believe. Be one for BS or the likes..

[wolfofwhitehall]

The SV lads should go for it #freetheSV2

[Cnoc Bán]

Didn't consider "home" advantage wouldn't be allowed so no to owenbeg but would Athletic Grounds not be closer?

[Hoof Hearted]

Semi final fixed for Omagh.

If it has to be neutral its the most logical ground, no easy way in getting a neutral county ground for derry tyrone

[JimStynes]

I'd have went to the Athletic Grounds but f**k that hike to Omagh!
