A new group on Facebook has been set up to call the new stand in McHale Park after the late Anthony McHugh. The page, which was set up during the week, has more than 450 members so far and was started following a discussion on the popular Castlebar website www.castlebar.ie, where posters called for the stand to be named after him.
The late Mr McHugh, who passed away in April, was one of the best known businessmen in the region and a lifelong supporter of numerous charities and sporting organisations. It was his company, Mountain View Securities, which built the new multi million euro stand at McHale Park.
