Drogheda would be nowhere near the Top 3 IMO.

In this order....

1,Turners Cross,Cork
2.Terryland
3.Tolka

You could have Dalymount,Brandywell,showgrounds all in at number 3 really as they're all much of a muchness.

Ourselves and Cork would be comfortably ahead of most Clubs though.

Drogs' stadium is a stuck in the 1970's. There are plenty of other grounds that are miles ahead of United Park especially Sligo, Longford, Tolka (albeit a little battered) and the Brandywell.

Turners Cross is the best.

There aint nothing wrong with the palying surface in Flancare and having seen Tolka earlier on in the season wouldnt be too sure on it being in the top three!!

if its the best pitch, I would also rule out the showgrounds, unless its the best field !

Well done to Noel Connolly on winning the award, which will be presented to him at half time of the FAI Cup Final on Sunday.

if its best pitch terryland would get my vote, in superb condition, makes the showgrounds surface look a disgrace

Especiallly considering Sligo put ****e out in it once a fortnight.
