Connor v Randalstown F.C

[back4]

I hope this game is on for alot of reasons, Ryan Logan, M Magill , Mark Dougan,John Kitson, Jerry McGovern, Brian Surgenor and R Craig should all be back this week , a welcomed relief for the last 3 or 4 games it has been hard getting a team. Another big reason being the Beast ( Weedo )is back , plus 3 points would be nice to

[weedo]

Maybe you should go back to the drawing board. ;D ;D ;D

Can't believe we did not win this game today well,terrible finishing to put it mildly, and also can't believe how the hell Connor can't play on the pitch beside the changing rooms, instead of that excuse for a pitch up the road,where the surface is terrible, and the 18 yard line is beside the touch line. There is no other team that I no that has a council pitch, that don't have to share it,and talking to some of the Connor player after the match, they feel the seem. Connor need alot of credit for keeping going week after week on that field, and with only 1 point before today, I no if it was our team we would have fold it long ago. Connor you need a medal for even getting out of bed, to play on a pitch like that every week, but lots of luck for the rest of the season

well said back four, the pitch that connor rangers play on is a disgrace and i have been complaining to bbc about this after every home game, it galls me that this pitch has to be maintained by bbc and it hasnt even been rolled since the team started to play on it, one day it was a field with sheep grazing on it next day its a football pitch. about the pitch at the changing rooms, bbc say you cant book two games to be played on this pitch on the same day unless its a primary school game or of similar age group, and thats why they maintain the pitch up the road, its a total laugh, it takes them all their time to cut the blooming thing. as for the team it must take great effort to turn up on a saturday morning, but they are a very young team (well except for jeff) and they enjoy the training so maybe next year things might look brighter for them and the pitch might get into better shape, my biggest fear is that someone is going to get a really bad injury because of it.. iv had my rant now ill leave it. lol

Conyer I do not mean two match's on it on the one day, but the same as Raceview and Braid, for example, when Raceview are away in the Prem league, Braid are at home in the bsml.

[conyer]

when the under 11s try to book it on a saturday morning they were told they could book it as long as the connor team werent on it in the afternoon, so they used it every other saturday morning in alternate to the big team, they now play their home games in ballymena cause they cant use it.. as for connor rangers i truthfully think the managment and commitee for connor are the ones stopping the morning games they think the pitch wouldnt withstand all the games on it, but the point is that if bbc got their finger out and gave little ibrox the attention that it needs it might not be such a big problem,

[conyer]

i thought braid had to play some of their home games at the ballymena rugby club..

[conyer]

ooh and thats another sore subject kells and connor is not broughshane according to bbc

There is really nothing to stop anybody when Connor afternoon team is away booking it, One match a week on it would do it no harm at all, and at the start of the season for 8 weeks aswell as 4 at the end of season. Kells and Connor have always produced good players, who will only get better playing on a good pitch , if it where me I would lead a revolt!!!

[conyer]

the revolt has been tried for many years. the pitch is really owned by the church and there is talk ot it maybe going up for sale so it you know any millionaires give us a shout.

[weedo]

brian surg will buy it for you's and build 6 houses on it!!!!

you's should def try and kick up something that pitch in it's current state aint fit for football.

as for the match, reds were terrible from start to finish and connor battled hard for there point.

[conyer]

weedo i actually feel sorry for anyone who has to play on that pitch, ans am totally suprised that someone hasnt got wrecked it.

[hutch]

Havin read all the posts on thread i think thats the best point made is"am totally surprised someone hasn't got wrecked on it",i personally think its a disgrace to make connor play on it and think its only a matter of time before someone does get hurt,although i hope i'm wrong of course
