Yes a great show with 300,000 visitors , it was the driest and warmest show ever as it's usually a mud bath, I had a stand there and we had a great show with people keeping us busy until near 8pm . I had Welsh cresote stakes there did you see or smell them , the heat had them boiling.

No

No , there is no site in the north fit to host it.

 

[holywell farmer]

No , there is no site in the north fit to host it.

Really.?

 

[shumungus]

No , there is no site in the north fit to host it.

Even if there was the arseholes up here probably couldn't agree on what to call it.

How about ploughing match !

 

[shumungus]

How about ploughing match !

Its hard to explain but it would be like holding the Royal Welsh show in Essex.

 

[james ds]

Really.?

Yes , there are no suitable sites north of the Dublin Galway line , it takes at least 500 acres of dry land that can park cars even on a wet year. Only the midlands to south east of the country can handle such a huge event.

“The big Nine county and Wee six County Ulster otherwise know as the occupied Counties Ploughing Match so it is”

I think that is what is know as an inflammatory statement.

Yes that was our stand "Agriknives Direct " . JD fell out with the ploughing years ago and havnt attended since , their loss because the ploughing is the best way of making new contacts for the year. I was talking to a few Welsh lads were you one of them
