Antrim threatens boycott if Armagh match relocated from Corrigan Park

News summary

Antrim's football team has threatened to boycott their Ulster SFC quarter-final against All-Ireland champions Armagh if the match is moved from their home venue, Corrigan Park. The players, including veteran Paddy McBride, emphasized their frustration at the prospect of losing home advantage, especially given that the number of Armagh's season ticket holders may exceed Corrigan Park's capacity. Antrim manager Andy McEntee backed the players' stance, reiterating that the team was drawn to play at home and expected the game to proceed there. The match is scheduled for April 12, and there is concern over potential relocation to larger venues such as Newry or Derry's Celtic Park. The players have expressed a united front, stating they will not compromise on their home ground. This situation arises as Corrigan Park has been the team's primary venue since Casement Park fell into disrepair in 2013.
