[quote=“Sidney, post: 821703, member: 183”]What’s the final venue expected to be?
A bit much to ask Antrim to travel to Thurles again, surely?
I think Casement Park has been shut so that’s out. Clones? Would Clare be able to find it, though?[/quote]
Portlaoise makes the most sense I think.
Should be Casement park. Clare would travel no problem I’d say. Antrim deserve it

As far as I know the ground is now shut in preparation for demolition, even the social club there has been closed down.

What’s even funnier about Wexford’s loss was that it was an understrength Antrim team they were playing - apparently four players who would have played opted to play in their club football championship instead today.
Would think antrim were happy enough playing on a decent field like thurles. Theyre usually fucked into donnycarney or Drogheda.
Clare have had a far tougher route. By their own admission antrim have done fuck all.

Parnell is a decent pitch…your boys were pulling too high to notice the grass there
It was in shocking condition that day according to Gary Maguire. Makes sense to keep the ball in the air in those circumstances.

Was it not decreed that the U21 finals would be held in Thurles every year.

Didn’t the sponsors want that or something?
No, the GAA just wanted Tipperary to win in 2010, they just had the next 2 there as well to stop Galway whinging about another injustice for the next 20 years.
Do you reckon this years final should be on in ennis? Honestly?
Sure it’s fixed for Thurles, maybe they ought to move Dublin and Kerry to Portlaoise.
Wherever that game was the Galway crowd that day was an absolute disgrace. I’d say there was about 100 Galway people at the game
