Antrim 'won't play' Ulster SFC quarter-final against Armagh if not at Corrigan Park

Antrim could pull out of their Ulster SFC quarter-final against All-Ireland champions Armagh if it is not staged at Belfast's Corrigan Park.

The warning came from Antrim veteran Paddy McBride, who told BBC Sport NI that if the match slated for 13 April were to be moved out of the county to a larger capacity venue elsewhere in the province, he and his team-mates would be willing to forgo it in light of losing home advantage.

"As everyone knows, we're drawn out at home to play an Ulster Championship game and we're being told as usual that we're going somewhere else," McBride said, adding Antrim's panel were united in their stance.

"The frustration is we want to play a home match and we're saying if it's not there, we'll probably not play it.

"We want to play on our own pitch when we have a home game. It sounds so simple - you have a home match you play at home."

He added: "We said we sacrifice too much to lie down. If it's not going to be where it's meant to be, then we'll not play it.

"It's one we all agreed with. It wasn't deliberated on, it wasn't debated, we just said this is what we're standing for and we're sticking with it."
