Monard is far from like a snooker table.Nearly worse than Carrigs pitch
Park, the snooker table comment was in jest as Im sure you well now. You seriously think we don't know that we need to improve our ground and facilities? Give us a bit more credit.
I would appreciate the haves not digging at the have nots. Im sure Park didnt begin life with the facilities they have now. You got 30 grand spare you can give us?
Amazing how few sides who win in Monard complain.....................
You have the same clue whats going behind the scene in Blackstone as I do about behind the scene in Park - zero.
Maybe I am wrong and this dig is not aimed at you alone Parkboy but I always think guys who built up the clubs would never make comments like that..............never seen "hard times" as the old phrase goes.
I know WHEN we have facilities to rival others that I will never dig at the "have-nots".

As horse said, havent heard anybody else complaining.
Red and whte, in a perfect world yes we would love to be playing on perfect surfaces every week but do you really think that AUL clubs in all divisions have the finances for that ? I think not. If we were to stop teams being promoted because of their facilities, i fear we would lose clubs every year.
spot on owl, there are so many fancy dan guys playing today who havent a clue what it was like 20yrs ago when matches were played on patches of grass in fields where a farmer wouldnt put a cow and "dressing rooms" were a row of cars lined up beside. Most games were played on a sunday morning when lads got out of bed and never missed a match. Players were on the whole loyal to one club and fought for their places rather than walk out!
Yes, nobody wants to go backwards, and fair play to all the clubs that improved their pitches and facilities, but those who are whingeing about other "less fortunates" be thankful for what you have and thank those who went before you to put them in place.
Lads I want to apoligise to any of the lads/clubs i offended by my earlier comments.I have been involved with Park all my life and we are one of the lucky ones who have what we have.The reason being that the biggest club to us is Fermoy 10 miles away and we were lucky with the grant we got years ago.What we take in from our busy astro turf facility pays from our groundsman so without that we wouldnt be where we are.Quote:

Compare this to the standard of some AUL pitches out there that teams are still being forced to play on week in\week out due to lack of funding.
Could that money not have went into building an AUL complex or doing some serious improvements to existing pitches?
Corinthians Cup Final
Friday 17th June
Kilreen Celtic vs Park B
lads Monard is certainly not in anywhere near the worst pitches league! some far worse out there
big game tomorrow night carrig vs springfield, just wondering what happened bout springfield game that was called off?? did they get the points?
No idea but it says on the AUL blog that tomorrow nights game is a title decider which it wouldn't be if Springfield didn't get the points for that game so may be they did get them.Quote:

We had a league decided with Glenvale last year in the final league game for both sides and it was just the ref, no linesmen so I don't think the AUL normally consider it. However for a big game I do think it is a good idea, especially when it's a local derby as well!!!Quote:

Best of luck to Carrig tonight.
In fairness both sides are good enough to go up and with a number of "higher" teams rumoured to be folding then both probably will go up irrespective of tonight.
In fairnes thebooboys, the linesmen didn't cost ye the game that night.Quote:

It is a good idea IF you can afford it.
Especially if there is going to be a big crowd, the ref needs every bit of help that he can get.
Wouldn't it be a good gesture from the AUL to pay for the extra officials for the big games (out of fines money?)
