Casement Park in line for major overhaul - 40,000 all seater Stadium.

[Armagh18]

I'm sure the Gaels of Ardara and Malin are delighted. This has nothing to do with the "Gaels of Ulster" Bully boy tactics .

What about the Gaels of Portaferry etc.?

and the ones in Portavogie.

And Donaghadee. 

don't laugh, we've a few wee camogs from Portavogie in the pipeline, Donaghadee is a step too far though 

will club teams get access to it  or is it just for antrim and ulster

If you're expecting the South Antrim primary school finals to be played there, then that's a no.

Ulster Club championship games at best played there.

Antrim club championship finals too no?

[Kidder81]

will antrim even get that big of a crowd for hurling matches or  football matches

No

[Fear Bun Na Sceilpe]

will antrim even get that big of a crowd for hurling matches or  football matches

No

hurling more so tan football but they need to stay up the levels

It's the county ground would expect lots of club finals including underage to be played in it.

It's not.

Are you sure it's not going to be ??  ( i know nothing about it but find that strange if Antrim GAA are not going to get use of it)

[JoeSoap]

I live in Belfast, the area is a killer for parking but the Glider goes out that way. I haven't checked in on the plans in a long time but was there not talk of putting in good transport links/park and ride facilities?

Like in Cork a stadium management team will be put in place to generate revenue from the place by the Ulster Council.

If Antrim want to use it, they'll pay for it like the Cork Camogs when they use Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

[Dreadnought]

Another white Elephant

How so? By any measure it'll be decently used. And Clones is on the way out. We need a stadium for games here

Going by what you are saying it's a waste of money  giving what its going to cost as it looks like the Gaels in Antrim will be looking at it instead of playing in it.  If they spent a few quid in updating/maintaining the county grounds in all the counties it would be a lot better off. ( i know there is a lot of government money going in but the GAA will end up ponying up as well here)

No they won't.

Time will tell on that...

I honestly don't know, but was there not an agreement that Antrim would get to use it, in return for handing Casement over? They did originally own the ground. Otherwise they'd have sold it to the UC and built there own county ground? Did I pick that up wrong?

[Dreadnought]

Good run through here from Cahair O'Kane about Casement, and what is expected of it when it opens. Answers a lot of questions posed above about how often it will be used, Antrims use of it and so on.

"We had an agreement in place with Antrim. With the passage of time, clearly we'll sit down and look at that again. Antrim will enjoy a lot of good days in Casement.

"Depending on their status in the leagues, it will make sense that some of those games would be played at Casement because they would attract a good crowd.

"There's nothing I would say is definite but Antrim's [club] hurling and football finals were always played at Casement, I don't see any reason why those wouldn't be played at the new Casement either."

Stephen McGeehan 

So if Antrim are in Div3 or 4 in Football off to Corrigan you go............

[rrhf]

I dont think any neutral counties who has been behind this project would be happy if this is not used by Antrim as their main pitch, and an area to build the GAA from in Belfast.

Decent wee ground. Probably the better option if expecting a low crowd of less than 3k anyway. If they can continually get big crowds though, then Casement is in play. Like Monaghan don't always play Clones, but go around the county for League games
