    Salthill Devon: Serious soccer complex with top class facilities near Galway.

    Mervue United: Clubhouse, great pitch and astroturf.

    Ballinasloe Town: Very good pitch, clubhouse, floodlights and stand.

    Ballyglass: Two storey clubhouse, stand and a quality pitch.

    pike rovers have an excellent pitch complemented with terracing both on the side and behind goals .they also have an acre of land adjacent to a two story club house .this land consists of training facilities with floodlighting.the also have a car park to the otherside of the clubhouse.

    without a doubt on of the best i've seen,
    top quality pitch and a clubhouse/bar/dressing room complex that would put most teams in the e/l to shame.(although they have guinness money to back them).

    all they're missing is a decent stand.

    pike rovers must have the smallest changing rooms in the country, plus you'd get more light out of a sacred heart candle than those floodlights on the training pitch

    Jesus, Thunderblaster, thanks for the nice compliment but apologies for disagreeing with you re. B'sloe's pitch. I think it's awful. I've been at the boys for years to do something about it. Rest of facilities are good but one of my favourites is Manulla, up your way and of course the Castlebar grounds.

    I remember the pitch years ago and it was pretty bad.

    Still not too good, I'm afraid. It kinda slopes downwards up in the top left hand corner. town end and the surface is poor around the midfield area. I asked the lads why did they not install a Dunfermline type surface - they have the money, they've spent a million on the grounds in the last while. There's no excuse for any club nowadays to have a bad surface. Again, all those clubs in Mayo are a good example what can be done. Credit where credit is due.

    too many clubs with no facilities though. all premier teams around the country should at least have dressing rooms but this isnt the story. a sad fact

    I think there's been a rule in the Ros. & District League for a few years now that all clubs in the Premier Division must have dressingroom facilities etc to be allowed in (if promoted of course). In fact, that may be extended to all divisions by now but not too sure.

    Mayo pitches

    hi all,
    thunderblaster, i agreed with you regarding the manulla set up- it class, one of the best set up in mayo, actually in connacht but there is others. i think castlebar celtic pitch is good but the dressing rooms need abit of a tidy. snugboro fc pitch and clubhouse is excellant, i actually play there a few weeks ago a i was amased of the pitch, well done to all involved down there.
    Also swinford have a fine set up with the two pitches and the clubhouse and rumour has it that there building a stand there in the future too. i think mayo football is getting up there with the best in ireland regarding the infrastructure to play the best football about.

    Just to add to the above, guys. I think there are so many great set-ups in Mayo would there be the finance, support and backing etc for a Mayo County Eircom League team. Something like what Kildare County did, although they are based at Newbridge Town's ground. Just a thought. What do you guys think??

    Mayo Eircom Team

    it would be great if this was to happen but i would believe it would put the Mayo league football backwards and they would be to much in house fightingamong the clubs in releasing players, some clubs affected more than others etc.
    i just dont think it would work here in Mayo

    that candle puts out more light than all lim clubs together ,and it was good enough for oscar traynor and eircom league to train there

    Would you rise out of us with your PIKE this and PIKE that. Every Topic I open you are posting or have posted about PIKE, best team in Limerick, have the best facilities, have the best players, give us a break. Take off the blinkers and discuss Junior soccer. Not pike soccer.
