Yes, when Fermanagh annex the Ulster title this weekend they'll need a new 40,000 stadium.

But seriously Lurgan, Portadown etc with Reasonable transport links (i.e they have a rail station, not far off M1) should be looked at IMO.

What could possibly go wrong...

Be a quare statement of intent, given Portadown's past. A big giant f**k off GAA stadium. Put a few noses out of place round that way.

Wanted.  Forwards to take frees.
Not fussy.  Any sort of ability will be considered

There is a good cheer in Clones that I cannot imagine will be replicated in Belfast.

For all it's problems with traffic, Clones is a great venue with real tradition behind it.

The atmosphere there yesterday was fantastic.

This is the issue though - Clones just can't cope with any level of traffic and by car is the only realistic way you can get there.

so not even a county to build the place has been decided yet?

People approach Clones from different sides for many combinations of games, this is not true of Belfast.

True, but Belfast does have Motorway access plus bus, taxi and train provision......

The only way to handle the traffic in Clones is go for a few pints after the game. Let the traffic ease. Surely though if a major redevelopment was to take place in Clones, road upgrades would also be part of this?

I agree that Clones on Ulster Final day is a special place. But as has been pointed out above, is the money available not ring fenced for the wee 6?

It is unfortunately, even though you could luck a football into the north from clones the money can't be used on it.
