What is the Capacity of Aughrim? I'd wonder if it can hold enough?

Ah look the Meath Boys already trying to shift the game out of Aughrim. We hadn't even left the ground yesterday and everyone said Meath will move Hell and high water to get the game out of Aughrim, on capacity grounds.

I'd say the Meath County Board is way ahead of us on this. Wikipedia says Aughrim can hold 10,000.

It is without doubt the undisputed WORST County Grounds in the country.

I'd dispute that. Have you been to Drogheda?

I hate to admit it, but in terms of infrastructure and amenities, Aughrim is far in front of St Conleths.

Aughrim has a great scenic landscape, and the surrounding mountains create the fortress like atmosphere in the ground.

Meath will know they have a battle on their hands in Aughrim.

I have been to both Drogheda and Newbridge and indeed they are terrible. But you can't beat the 'Shed' for a stand in Aughrim. A disadvantaged farmer would have a better shed. Correct me if I'm wrong but Newbridge has a real stand. Cant remember Drogheda that well. I'm sure it has stand though. Aughrim is very picturesque I'll admit.

That would depend on what your definition of "a stand" is!

When it sold out v Armagh how many tickets were sold? I don't care where it's held just wondering.

Jack Goff Found this...


Round 2 Replay 16 July 2011 Wicklow 0-10 2-9 Armagh O'Byrne Park,Aughrim
WICKLOW T Hannon 0-3 (0-2f, 0-1 '45'), P Earls, L Glynn, S Furlong (0-1f) 0-2 each, A O'Malley 0-1. ARMAGH J Clarke 2-2, M O'Rourke, S McDonnell (0-1f) 0-2 each, P Duffy, A Kernan (0-1f), G McParland 0-1 each
Referee: R Hickey (Clare)Attendance: 6,500

Says 6,500 Would reckon that figure would not include OAPS, Students, children and the abundance of Wicklow County Board Officials, friends, family, next door neighbours, girlfriends, ex girlfriends etc who are let through the gate.

While i have enjoyed all the action so far, it has been a bit like sitting in the hospital waiting on herself to go into labor while everyone else is in and out in minutes.
finaly the wait is nearly over. The wait this year was way too long. Bring it on. Championship nothing better. The battle of aughrim is just around the corner and tickets nearly sold out.
Hon the royal

Wicklow to beat a very average Meath side.

Have to fancy Meath for this one, should be close enough though!

Looking forward to tomorrow evening and think we should pull through.

disappointed to see some of the nonsense the Wicklow fans have been at in the build up to the game tho both here and on the Wicklow page. Claiming that Meath were trying to move the game and wouldn't travel to Aughrim and so on when there wasn't a word about it. Not sure what they were trying to achieve but it certainly was bad form.

You are off your game kid .. Not one person for one minute suggested Meath Co Board were trying to get game moved. It was mooted last week RTE and Leinster Council wanted it moved. Stop talking nonsence and get your facts right.Only nonsense been spouted coming from your own Biggy Reilly giving Harry Murphy a perfect motivational speech platform with his " Meath have too much football for Wicklow " hoopla .

As I said to you previously , it will be close . Someone would want to remind "Biggy" Reilly - he was stuck down in Div 3 with us this year - that wasn't by accident ... If Meath had so much superior football ability , I'm pretty sure they would be in Div 1 surely ?

Re: attendance for Aughrim tomorrow.

7,000 for tomorrow night. Attendance for Armagh game was slightly less for sure - it wasn't packed out.Only 4,000 allowed into Drogheda for Wexford v Louth and it didn't stop Wexford getting a win.

errs just one if them. Ye also spent the whole week on the Wicklow page insinuating the same.
The week before the Wicklow fans spent the week running down the Meath support.

tried the same tactic last year, what do ye think it will achieve?
