Well I would be reluctant to be so harsh on the county board but agree that may struggle with any kind of new set of fixtures. They do seem to be running things a lot slicker this year though compared to others gone by, although that probably isnt saying much. I would generally stick to the mantra 'if its not broke dont fix it'. I dont see many problems with the league structure as it is currently.

Seconded, there certainly seems to be an improvement this year indeed from the county board, now if they could only put on double-bill Championship games I would be even more praise-worthy.

Yeah would like to see that myself. I was up in derry for the first round of their championship back in may or april I think. They had a double header at a neutral ground on a sunday was a good days craic. Although we probably have a limited amount of club grounds and facilities that could cater for this?

Ture, but Cruppen, Cross, Clans, Abbey Park, even the Bridge on their old pitch, could cater for two-game matches quite easily.

Not to mention athletic grounds (triple) or even Clann Eireann/Maghery/Sarsfields

**Edit: Maghery v Whitecross and Clans v Mullabawn in the SFC will be a double header in the Athletic Grounds

Dont see how you cant be harsh after all they are paid employees. Check out the Tyrone, Monaghan county web-sites results, fixtures and league tables updated daily. not rocket science!!! They armagh fixture/result unpaid co-ordinator from your own club does a better job.

pearse og park would probably have the best facilities to cater for a double header.

It is not flat the whole way round though? Or is there banks now?

Is it true that the O'Rourkes have quit Dromintee?

Yes they have all walked out, but don't tell anyone.

thewanderer

doubtful but wouldnt surprise me either.

have been to the new ogs set up and they have a changing pavillion second to none with the biggest 4 changing rooms in the county and gym/function suite up stairs. They have created a large bank on the near side and there is a large tapered area on the far side. would be good enough to host any championship game bar the final. They also have planning for a spectator stand on the far side which they say will be up next year. fair play to them.

If by quit you mean not quit then yes.

What the f**k? Who starts this rumour every year.
