What do they do in the other provinces?

I think most of the games up to semis and finals are generally stand alone games...and many are played mid week. I agree that the standing of underage football on general has been slowly eroded. It really is a shame as for many young lads it’s their only chance to wear their county colours and more should be done to promote it.

I agree Bull. Sure it always was great getting the younger lads to play before the seniors and get the atmosphere building, plus those lads deserve the chance to play in front of bigger crowds too. For a lot of supporters (cough cough mentioning no RagingBull names :p) it's the first time they get to see [or in most cases] hear about the new lads coming through.

I get it that it was changed because of exams etc, but then they changed the age groups and the U17s don't worry about that until the following year, so surely the same excuse can't be used.

Or is it just their way of getting more money out of supporters?????????

They would still have AS Exams

What's the chances for the minors tomorrow eve? I think Derry beat them well earlier in the year? Hopefully there's a good support out to cheer them on!

Very poor game, once Derry scored the goal the game was over. Both sides very poor, negative tactics, v poor watch, that said wind was brutal.

£9 into the game, Ulster council are a greedy shower, they are gonna put genuine fans off. I paid over 200 for a season plus ticket which apparently doesn’t cover minor or u21, I’ll not be buying one next year

The season ticket, since it ever came out, never covered minor or u21 or u20 games - only senior adult games.

£9 in to a u17 game is very steep. Yes it's a county game but it's predominantly 15/16 year olds playing
