Replying To doubletree: "Is there a second game being televised by RTE or SKY?" No sky decided not to take up a game this weekend. MarkRule (Mayo) - Posts: 41 - 18/06/2019 20:39:07 2197308 Link
Replying To doubletree: "What I meant is there a second round game being televised?" Doesn't appear to be which is a shame, some good games longford v Tyrone, monaghan v armagh, Derry v laois, leitrim v Clare should all be close and then down v mayo which could be a great game, think sky missed the boat here.

Got my ticket sorted for Antrim v Kildare. A full house expected even if it is at Corrigan it should be better atmosphere than half the fixture list at croker these days. If it's a contest of course..... SaffronDon (Antrim) - Posts: 2385 - 18/06/2019 20:52:25 2197316 Link

Is Corrigan Park nearby? lilywhite1 (Kildare) - Posts: 2986 - 18/06/2019 22:31:03 2197363 Link
Not that far from Casement. Coming off the Motorway you'd take the same exit for Casement (up Kennedy way). But when you come to the roundabout where you turn left on Andersontown Rd to head for Casement you instead head on round right towards the Falls. Follow that down for a mile or more, past Falls Park on left and you then come to Whiterock Road (mini roundabout I think with the Rock bar). Corrigan is a few hundred metres up the Whiterock Rd on Right Hand Side - sits in off road but think there is a sign at the entrance saying St John's GAC/Corrigan Park or something like that. Put the Whiterock Rd on yer SatNav/JohnJoe and you'll get there grand. Offside_Rule (Antrim) - Posts: 4058 - 18/06/2019 23:08:23 2197376 Link
Replying To lilywhite1: "Hi SaffronDon, have my ticket too. I have been in Casement Park before. Is Corrigan Park nearby?" its down the road towards the falls from casement. whiterock rd is the turn off to the left. go past O'Donnells club pitch and its about 100 metres up on the same side. parking is a bit dodgy though. ballymurphy estate sits behind the ground and i wouldnt leave anything too valuable in the car. its not major but its happened before. there should be a good few stewards about for a county match anyway. hope this helps SaffronDon (Antrim) - Posts: 2385 - 18/06/2019 23:17:29 2197379 Link

Provided you're outside the right type of mural of course ;) if_in_doubt (Kildare) - Posts: 3685 - 18/06/2019 23:21:07 2197381 Link

Replying To if_in_doubt: "Whiterock leisure centre or the Park Centre for parking? Or are any nearby estates ok for parking in? Provided you're outside the right type of mural of course ;)" I'll maybe let some of the City boys advise on parking if_in_doubt as they would know the lay of the land better for parking on a match day around Corrigan. The Leisure centre is just up the road a bit from it alright and has a bit of space in around it though not sure if it is used for match traffic or not. Similarly, there are some spaces in Falls Park if you go in off the Falls Road entrance (you'd pass it if coming down the Falls just before you come to the Whiterock turn). When we head up from the country we just leave one of the weans in the car with the shotgun and never an issue..... Offside_Rule (Antrim) - Posts: 4058 - 19/06/2019 07:42:17 2197431 Link
Replying To if_in_doubt: "Whiterock leisure centre or the Park Centre for parking? Or are any nearby estates ok for parking in? Provided you're outside the right type of mural of course ;)" If you're up early enough you'll get a spot at either Park Centre or Whiterock Leisure centre. The area surrounding Corrigan is all nationalist and usually there's no issue with parking in the estates but I dont want to say it's always plain sailing either. Either of the spots mentioned would be a safer bet overall I'd say. SaffronDon (Antrim) - Posts: 2385 - 19/06/2019 09:24:51 2197446 Link
