The very place. There was a perimeter fence when I was there so you could get your cars in though wouldn't have fancied it in floods of rain. Long time ago so no idea what it's like now.

The only team I really mind not having changing rooms were Mitchells where you took your car onto the grass bank at the side of the pitch and changed there then got out and there was someone from the surrounding estate shooting a BB gun at you  ;D

Never play at the Falls park? no changing rooms our parking... better now, you've your warm up done before you get to the pitch from the changing rooms at the Whiterock centre
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Think that 'pitch' in Poleglass is long gone.

Mitchells appear to be on the brink or else they have folded completely so no need to it.

That was the issue with Mitchells - never had a home pitch and no base to recruit from. Slowly but surely faded into obscurity.

Gilly Mc Illhatton had to tog out for them at one stage and he was long retired  :o :o :o

Is there a club in Poleglass/Twinbrook?

Colin Gaels, possibly only field up to U16 though. Seemed to be putting a lot of work in underage building from the bottom up, fair play to all involved.

Played once there against the Gorts for our seconds when I think there was no reserve league so we ended up in a South Antrim league.

No sidelines marked out and some wee spide scooting across the pitch on a mini scrambler thing.

The game itself was a tad "hectic", plenty of pulling but not on the ball  ;D

I mind throwing the ball up to take a poc out at the top end and the wind blowing it out for a 70. Between there and Feystown it was crazy!

I always liked Cushendun, Feystown was a different story, getting changed in the whin bushes before and after the match!!
Feystown not having changing rooms back then?

Who plays out of Feystown? Not sure if I've ever played there.

Cracking 3G pitch in the Falls park now although a bit of a walk to the changing rooms thanks to local residents. Did the Johnnies not take over Mitchells pitch in Poleglass then it was sold for housing??

Maybe it's just my age but i only ever remember them having a changing room, going back to the early 90s.

Hated playing down there more for the issue of having Arthur Forsyth refereeing and not hiding his bias!!

Not when I played, you could describe me as vintage at this stage  :)

I go back to the early 80s, no changing rooms then.
