Lads id be pro getting hurling back to birr untill last sunday .
Sitting watching the minor football it was clear how much space forward have . and i dont think there is a better playing surface in the country.Much better that sbp
I know ill be slated for this .
ocp is a bigger pitch which should suit us .
Most of the current offaly panel have never won a league match in Birr, maybe S Dooley and J Bergin have but im not sure it so long ago.
I think the debate is over and it would be madness to go back to birr when we have a top class stadium in tullamore , a stadium that we all should be proud of.
Talking to a kerry man at the match last week he couldnt understand why we had played the league game in birr when we had a much better more modern facilities in tullamore that has a better pitch .
He made me appreciate what i had ignored for years .
