One of my friends has played on it a bit in the last few years. He said it is not as nice as it looks.Originally Posted by Conor H
Kind of old now don't ya think?
Terryland has had one of,if not the best,pitches in Ireland over the last 10 years.It's more often than not like a carpet.Wouldn't be at all surprised if we won it.
Wexford's pitch is fabulous (professional job and first year of use) but is affected by the wind. Buckley Park only looked ok last weekend.
If that is the pitch in the foreground it looks shocking altogether ;0)
"Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins."
"Homer Simpson, smiling politely."
Looks a lot better in that photo in fairness, why don't you ever play on that grassy patch at the back though?

Pitch has a bit of a slant in it, but then so do most.
Your other points are nonsense, in my opinion.
a bit of a slant id say there s a bigger slant then a bit of a won
I've played on it; it's no bigger than "a bit of a one", which I will of course define to suit my own argument.
i played on it too ceirtlis and taught it was briliant maybe he play s on it during the winter when most of the galway district league matches are on it????
Have played it on it a few times myself-immaculate everytime.
Noel Connolly is possibly the best groundsman in the Country.High standards every time.

Yes in yesterday's Sentinel (local paper here) that the Terryland pitch has been selected as the best in the division, with an official announcement later this week
"Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins."
"Homer Simpson, smiling politely."
Not sure what happened to the pitch at the Cross for game against Bohs last week.
Aside from our own pitch United Park & Terryland deserve to be in the running. TV pictures can be deceptive so hard to judge based on that. Saying that never seen Terryland in bad condition. Belfield grass is not short enough to be judged the best - leaving the grass that extra inch or two higher covers bumps & also makes for slower game.
Well if all things being equal as regards pitches and GUFC did have a DVD as you suggest then they deserve it.
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
Thats why they leave it so long

The winning of the best pitch award was announced at the Galway United annual Awards do on Friday night - Noel Connolly got a deserved ovation from those attending.
Have to agree, I think Athlones pitch is the best I've seen in the country. Thier training pitch next door looked better than most other teams main pitches.......

Bring on the City derbies!!!
terryland was voted best ground this year congrats to noel connolly grounds man in terryland http://www.galwayunitedfc.ie/news-fe...man-award.html
I played on united park a couple of weeks ago and the surface was amazing, but congrats to Galway
united park looked class when we were there a few weeks before the nend of the season. but terryland has been superb whenever im there. never any different!
Having spoken to a couple of the Ireland U-21 players after their game down there they were all raving about the surface on the Athlone pitch and in fairness you would think they would know what a good standard is.
Very hard for supporters of Premier Division teams to comment on the best pitch in the country when they havent seen most in the First Division.
Bohs Will Be Back!!!
