Potentially visiting with a gang for the relegation decider that will be Throne Kerry in Omagh on April 7th! Where would be the best place to stay in Omagh? Cheap kind of hotel would be what's required.

Would it be worth staying there on the Friday night or would be as well to head out in Belfast on the Friday and then Omagh on the Saturday night?

Omagh not blessed with great hotels. Your best bet might be the Silver birches. Walkable to the pitch and only a 3 minute taxi drive to town. Rooms would be cheap enough.

Forget about Omagh for a night out on a Friday night. It's usually dead!!

Silver Birches, is a handy enough hotel, near to Healy Park. There's also another hotel, the Mellon Country Inn, but it's a good bit out of the town.

Spends on what you like for a night out catchandkick.

There's Main Street Omagh, which is in the centre of the town. A few bars in it and a nightclub.

There's also Next Door @ Bogans, which usually has good live music.

Stay in Kelly's Inn on the road to Omagh where you can take a walk up the hill and see the almost-complete Garvaghey complex.  ;D

Actually don't, as there's nothing round there.  What direction are you coming?  Belfast is a bit out of the way for Omagh.

Not a chance. Shot down there, too many times, by too many women. Bad memories.  ;D

You need to lay off the egg and onion sandwiches.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Stay in Derry, Donegal or Armagh and limit your time in Tyrone to match day.

Ah don't say that, Mrs Ziggy would be most disappointed. I've had many a good night in Kelly's, a lot of genuine GAA folk around there. Farley's Bar just up the road in Beragh is another good spot for a few pints and a bit of banter. (Leastwhile it was a few years back.)

I had many a good nights in Farley's Bar. Must be a Ziggy thing.

Ah no offence meant - but this group is considering Belfast on the Friday night rather than Omagh - I'm imagining they have a bigger night in mind than a few pints in a local bar in rural Tyrone.

McGurks is no longer "McGurks". It certainly was a good spot, with Arthur being an absolute gent.
