Brewster park in fermanagh. Best surface in the country, after to croker. Havent been up there in a few years but last time i was there, it looked like a snooker table! hats off to the grounds men. The stands around arent too bad either, would have it higher than our own park tailteann anyhow! As far as I remember parking was a bit of a pain though!

"samin10 was past the athletic grounds last week and looks like its been revamped with a stand and terracing on all sides?? is that correct. is it going to be the county ground again? am i right in sayin the ogs dont play there anymore? "

Athletic Grounds have been renovated and will be hosting club championship matches in the next few weeks, all going well intercounty games next year, i think capacity of around 24000 max. Pearse Og now have their own ground I believe

Celtic park, while not being the best stadium always has an amazing surface. When all them league games are being called of around the country for snow and rain celtic park still looks like a carpet.

Well I was nvr going to be right with everyone.
Why doesn't some1 else hav a crack and we'll see what we make of them. I especially want to see the Leinster ones as most of them are poor. Perhaps this is to do with the fact that most Leinster Championship Games are held in Croke Park.
I think that Ulster have the best all round with the expection of Armagh. Munstermen Waterford and Clare are letting ye down.

Played in clones a good few times ballbhoy, and as I said the surface can be class or very bad, unfortunately its leaning towards the latter moreso recently and work needs to be done on it methinks.

In connaught at the moment machale park and salthill share the biggest capacity at 36000 each.However mchale park is under constuction and capacity will be brought up to 41000 with a face lift and a new stand (badly needed).When finished there will be no debate about the best ground in connaught.As someone mentioned already salthill is a lovely ground but cannot compete with tuam,mchale park or even hyde park for atmosphere.

Might not have the best facilities, but for atmosphere Newbridge is hard to beat.
