glentoran won the irish league today with a win over crusaders. well done to glentoran, imo it was deserved.
the result, and ards' good win at newry, forces crusaders into the relegation playoffs against glenavon. 1st playoff tues 10th may at mourneview, 2nd playoff fri 13th(eek!) may at seaview.
other than that, the only thing left is the Irish Cup Final between portadown and larne next saturday
Larne FC for Larne Town. Inver Park for the people.
I've followed the Irish league very vaguely through reading the match reports in the Sunday Life while working in a newsagents in Sunday morning. That was one hell of a battle for the title. So tight for so long. Well done Glens. I think they also won the league cup and rans Portadown to a replay in the Irish Cup Semi. So it has been a great season for them.
I'd like to congratulate Glen and indeed the entire Toran clan on their success
Can I be excused the Gurntoran love in, please?
Division Two here we come...
They're red, they're black

Larne FC for Larne Town. Inver Park for the people.
Oh lovely, a stadium called Seaview... That sounds so idyllic, I hope those lads win the play-off.
I kinda like Linfield, so rather saw Glentoran miss the title. But anyway, congrats to them

you have to look at railway tracks, a train cleaning depot and the main refuse land fill site for greater Belfast.
Its a very tight wee ground with a perimeter wall about 5 feet from the side and touch lines.
They have just announced plans to refurbish the exsisiting stand and build a new 800 seater stand, I hope its the same architect who designed the Tardis cause christ knows how they will fit it in.
Hatchets and Hammers
You can't actually see the sea ??
Solitude's another lovely stadium name in N.Ireland
Maybe from the roof of the main stand
As for Solitude
Hatchets and Hammers
ah now fortuna, are you forgetting the lovely big hole in the wall for motorway viewing? lol
pity you weren't coming up on friday gerrit, crusaders play the 2nd leg of their relegation/survival playoff that night.
ps. the crues will fit 800 seats in easy. i think we have 800 seats at inver and thats a lot tighter than seaview!
pps. the thing that annoys me most about solitude is one side being just a grassy, unused bank.
