Ulster Senior Football Championship 2021

[Big Jim]

Any sign of crowds being increased from the 500?

Been very quiet after their test event at the Irish cup final

Stormont crapped itself and left everyone in limbo
No change to the 500 until 5th July at the earliest

I saw on BBC Sport Twitter earlier that the Aviva will host 3000 supporters on 3rd July and 6000 on 10th July. I know it's a different jurisdiction, but we've been well ahead of them southneeers up ta now. I know the muppets/shysters are in turmoil, but I'm holding out hope the numbers will be uppa'd by independence day!! I doubt there'll be a difference with the 3 travelling to the 6 or vice versa.

 

[Big Jim]

I always thought each ground should be assessed for numbers. I mean, the Athletic Grounds could easily hold 500 fans well spaced out. But Clady’s back pitch might only hold 15 safely.

(Sorry Clady, not picking on you and your back pitch. ‘Twas the first Junior club came into me head).

Can't be 100% but I'd seriously doubt any USFC games will be played in the "back field" in Clady with them numbers.

Was hoping for increased capacity for the game July 4th.
You’d think with the ground being 18k they can get a lot more in and still distance?

That's what would have happended if the muppets had been adult about things
The dup/lcc spat the dummy out and everyone is paying the price

Yep abso-bleeding-lutely!!!!! It just seems damn maddening to me that you can cram a couple of hundred into Tesco, but out in the open in a stadium, you rightly say holds 18k, we can't get even 3.5 - 4k. But whatever. Them is the rules we are currently guided by and we must accept. Everyone getting double jabbed is the only way by the look of it, that things are improving. It'll just take time and some things are more important

 

[Armaghball]

Did he play last year? Maybe you’re thinking 2019?

2019 he was probably our best player and had a stormer vs Mayo

Sure Clady have the best field in Ireland now!

They do? What about their back field? What’s it like? Would it hold an Ulster semi?

Good interview with Geezer on the GAA social on bbc sounds. Stops half way through for a bit of Hurley stuff but then continues. Well worth a listen

What’s the crack with the coverage of the Antrim game I see it’s not on the RTÉ or Sky schedule will the BBC show it ? , or do we have to endure the dodgy stream on GAAGO since very few of us will get to the match .

I’d imagine at the very least BBC will show deferred coverage. I think they have covered all the Ulster championship games the last few years, either live or deferred.

Could Down lay claim to being the worst team in Ulster?

Donegal learned nothing from that and I fear it will be the same for us.
