Antrim have threatened to boycott their Ulster SFC quarter-final against Armagh if it's not played at Corrigan Park.

Andy McEntee's charges have been granted home advantage for the mouth-watering tie with the All-Ireland champions, but the expectation is that it will be moved to a bigger venue due to Corrigan Park's limited capacity. Indeed, it's believed that the number of season tickets holders in Armagh exceed the West Belfast venue's capacity.

"As everyone knows, we're drawn out at home to play an Ulster Championship game and we're being told as usual that we're going somewhere else," Antrim footballer Paddy McBride told BBC NI.

"The frustration is we want to play a home match and we're saying if it's not there, we'll probably not play it.

"We want to play on our own pitch when we have a home game. It sounds so simple - you have a home match you play at home."
