Ulster GAA say that no decision has been made on finalising a venue for the Ulster senior football championship quarter-final between Antrim and Armagh on April 12th.

As the first team out of the hat in the northern province’s championship draw, Antrim have home advantage against the All-Ireland champions and have stated (and reiterated) that they will only play the game at Corrigan Park.

The west Belfast venue holds 4,000 and Ulster GAA have expressed concerns over the limited capacity, saying that health and safety will be the most important factor in deciding whether the ground can stage the game.

Tuesday night’s meeting of the Ulster Competition Controls Committee (CCC) saw Antrim’s delegates officially putting Corrigan Park forward as the sole venue for the game.

In a statement released since that meeting, Ulster GAA said: "No decision was taken in relation to finalising a venue for the USFC match between Antrim v Armagh, pending further discussions with Antrim county board.

"Two criteria must be met to host a home game. The first is drawn out of the hat first and the second is to meet the health and safety standards."
