Sources are mixed on where Ireland's two international fixtures were hosted, with most settling on Penrhyn Park. However, it appears that the 1904 fixture was actually played at Farrar Road Cricket Ground, later home of Bangor City FC.  Penrhyn Park Today the first international football match between Wales and Ireland will take place at the Penrhyn Park, Bangor, kindly lent by the Right Hon. Lord Penrhyn. The B.F.C. (Bangor Football Club) committee are to be congratulated for the successful issue of their endeavour in securing the international game to be played for the first time in this division, and it is to be hoped it will not be the last. The Park Gate (Ty Newydd) will be opened at 2.30 p.m. (not two as previously advertised). ( North Wales Chronicle: February 27, 1892 ) The Cricket Ground, Farrar Road The cricket field was the scene of the encounter, which afforded heavy going, and this probably accounted for the slowness of the game. There were about 4,000 spectators. ( Th

The brilliant Kit Bliss  has been producing a list of the 100 Greatest Shirt Templates . Previously NIFG has produced some Alternative Kits , imagining how Northern Ireland would have looked had the Irish FA negotiated a different kit deal, or if a different colour or style had been utilised.  Over the next few months we will produce Northern Ireland versions based on each of Kit Bliss' template posts. As best possible, these will be matched to the contemporary colour schemes actually worn by the Northern Ireland players, while a few additional away options may also appear. Any acerbic comments will be those of JCD. [Click on the links beside the numbers for more details from Kit Bliss] 100-96 100  Umbro 'Plume' Perhaps most familiar in yellow as a long-serving Spurs kit (as worn by Stephen Robinson in one of his few outings). Could easily have been selected by the IFA for NI from their then kit suppliers. Away in dark blue or white though? 99  Pony 'Affirm' US-firm
