This year all provincial finals, hurling and football, have been won by the home team. Antrim, the future is bright!

Antrim hurlers, club and county already avail of this luxury and have done for 20 years plus.

If the football moves to Casement, the hurling should be moved to Clones, to balance things up.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

I played in a minor hurling final in Clones back in the day, due to a drawn game and IIRC a drawn senior football final, remember that the netting was too big and a slíothar could go through it.. 1989.

And in another great act of decency towards the Andersonstown community, the GAA has now closed Casement Social club.



What a jolly bit of bad luck for the GAA Community in West Belfast - 600 hundred members one is led to believe - cast to the four winds.
Ah well - could happen to anyone.

Edit: some good news filtering through.

Cast to the four winds. That;s tough, the Four Winds being in Down and it would be an enormous cultural shock.

Cast to the four winds. That;s tough, the Four Winds being in Down and it would be an enormous cultural shock.

And it also has windows, that certainly would be a cultural shock.

Although if you want to have a quiet tête-à-tête with the current ( I think he still is) Antrim football manager then the four winds is a good bet.

well if you call an 12inch high by 36 inch long hole above head height and barred a window then, yeah it has windows, but it certainly wasn't renowned for its panoramic views or natural light.

Tell that to the boys who burgled it 3 times in the space of 2 months, breaking and entering through a window.

They must have pushed a child through and then opened the doors.

Was the place well insured?
How many sets of jerseys were nicked?

Ulster GAA clubs have been asked to submit a letter of support for the Casement Park Redevelopment Project to the Planning service.

Correspondence from the Casement Park Stadium Board has been circulated to all club secretaries, at the request of chairman Tom Daly.

'It is vitally important that all those in support of this project put their views on paper to Planning Service, especially GAA clubs ASAP,' the letter reads.

The correspondence also highlights points to note regarding the key benefits of the redevelopment project such as improved health and safety; economic benefits; community/social benefits etc.

Individual club members are also encouraged to submit letters of support.

Maybe if they had asked the clubs in the first place they might not be planning to proceed with this white elephant.

Ridiculous. Once again aspects of the GAA resemble a dictatorship.

I agree if a club or individual has a problem with any aspect of the design then they dont sign the petition - simple really. Are the GAA and fans going to piss around enough over this just like the IFA to the extent that the funding is withdrawn you would almost think thats what some here want

As for the residents maybe the GAA should just move to a new site and sell the land to the council for a nice new abattoir or sewage works!!!!

QuoteNow they are trying to bully GAA members to back their corporate castle where our self serving bigwigs can suck each others dicks.

Surely such a superior stadium will provide others to perform that duty.
