USFC Armagh v Derry, St Tiernach's Park, Clones, 19th June 2pm

[Applesisapples]

I hope there is no Soccer game/Concert on that day for the Bandwagon "Best Fans In The World" to be double-booked.

yawwwnnnnnnn

too many rednecks for my liking in omagh (well what do you expect in the hilbilly red arse county ).
Prefer the gme to be in clones. Never liked casement, prob because it is in belfast.
Hearing it will defo be on in omagh though. Wouldnt risk driving my decent car through the town let alone parking there.

Dungiven mans idea of a decent car:

Twin cam sur!
D-Turbo sur!


Hope the match is in Casement,  might not be many days left when you can't stand on the terrace having got in on an out of date student card.  Ah the summer.....

lynchie is from Bangher hi. I also assume the student card thing isnt about him, cause it would be well out of date

I'm not a Tyronie or from Derry and I think Omagh would be the best option for a good atmosphere and with the new A4 road, it is much easier for Armagh people to get to Omagh, now just 16 miles from the end of the motorway/dual carriageway.

What about the fans from the true GAA heartlands of Armagh, who have never been on the A4 (other than on the approach to Enniskillen perhaps)?

That said, Omagh may have non fascist stewards.

There are a lot of potential neutrals in Belfast too. Remember that Armagh v Derry attracted 27,000 there in 2005, albeit at a time when when crowds were much bigger. But even half that would a big crowd for a game involving Derry.

Are you sure there was 27,000 at this?

Was that not a ridiculously sunny day and people dandered in just for the sake of it?

I know that when Derry beat Armagh in 2007 we still talk about the 'faithful fifty' . So there were very few at that one!

Fairly sure there was at least 300 of us there that day, sure armagh only brung about 19,000 think their numbers were impacted by the first nadal v federer wimbledon final which was on that day.  3-2 to fed iirc.

Casement for me or I'll not be there I don't think.

Ulster senior football semi final between Derry and Armagh is at Clones on Sunday 19th June at 2pm. With the cost of fuel, food and tickets the ideal venue was Casement or Omagh not Clones. This decision may backfire on the ulster council.

surely your joking. disgrace if it is

[Onion Bag]

Why hoof?

[Hoof Hearted]

2 decent halfway venues in Casement + Omagh, read this thread from the start and you will hear the various reasons. For a poor travelling support like Derry, this news wont encourage them to go. and as Bluebell says it could be an og by the ulster council as regards financial rewards for them

[whiskeysteve]

hope to god the ulster council see sense and play the match in casement,best ground in ulster without a doubt with easy access and plenty of good spots for a drink before and after the game,clones is just a pure dump in comparison imo

+1

and v handy for people who hav place to stay in Belfast because of work/uni, saves the time and expense of a trek to Clones.

Diver to make Vernon look like a wee boy. Where is yer man who was on here a couple years ago startin threads about Vernon being the next Tohill? Hes not even the next Dick Clerkin

You could be eating your words methinks.

too easy  . of course hes fuppin better than Dick Turpin

[whiskeysteve]

Why hoof?

170 mile round trip for supporters from our club anyway and I would imagine about 120 mile round trip for South Derry patrons also.

sure diesel costs nothin these days 

a contemptible decision

What possible backfire could there be   The Derry hordes voting with their feet?  

[Hoof Hearted]

BBC have just confirmed that 2 semi's will be played in the dump. throw in the final too and and the businesses in clones will be licking their lips.

I know it'll cost me more to go to Clones and it'll take me longer to get home but I love going there. Hope the weather is good on the 19th!!
