Antrim in last place on all island monopoly board…
Hasbro, the makers of the game of Monopoly, are going to introduce a new all island monopoly board. Since there are 32 counties and only 22 spaces on the board, they are throwing it open to a voting process. At the moment, Armagh are the top Northern Irish county, currently sitting pretty in 7th place, with 9597 votes. Fermanagh should be okay too. But holding up the bottom is Co Antrim, with a measly 2301 votes. They face the chop along with Tyrone, Down and Co Derry. If you want to see your county sitting on the All Ireland Board (so to speak) then get voting. Polling closes on 25th May!!

Err, no actually, I’m afraid to say I was unaware of such hatred.
I have no clue about the Irish league. Losely follow DC in the LOI.
Anyhoo, why do they hate eachother? Is it something to do with Belfast being in two counties?
As for Newry being in Down and Armagh, I’ve heard it said that a good chunk of Derry city is actually in county Donegal or at least on the Inishowen peninsula.
Posted by on May 16, 2007 @ 08:12 PMI saw Antrim’s Gaelic footballers training at the grounds in Holywood one day quite recently. Surely that’s out of bounds.

I believe you are referring to the computer plant.
Memory was VAT free from export from the UK and one firm had a plant in Donegal and another convienently across the border .... ... .. .
Posted by on May 16, 2007 @ 09:53 PMThe real fun will begin when they assign monetary values on the counties. Wouldn’t you prefer your county not to be on the board rather than be the cheapest!

Posted by on May 16, 2007 @ 11:24 PMFrom memory, there are 22 street places on the board, but also 2 utilities and 4 train stations: what are they going to be?
I suggest for utilities: Water - so you can charge for it, and Phoenix gas, so you can charge even more for it.
