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

[NAG1]

If Monaghan and Donegal got to a Ulster final in a few years time, would they drag them to Casement park for it?

Yeah dragged up to the black north 

If Casement gets built a brand new modern stadium with all that comes with that, of course every Ulster final and indeed any big county game in the province is going to be played there for the foreseeable.

Yes.
In the same way that when any team has gotten to an Ulster final in the last 20/30 years have been dragged to Clones for it 
Monaghan with home advantage in Clones too? Who do they think they are with their sense of hometown entitlement, Dublin?

Not sure if I'd use the word "dragged" but yes of course they'll be in Casement. Motorways in from North and South into Belfast will make it easy for everyone from Ulster and beyond. Anything beats the traffic turmoil of Clones.

It'll be a sad day when the ulster final is no longer at clones.  Love the venue which includes the traffic, the town, the bars everything.

Casement will be a fantastic stadium but everything else doesn't exactly have me looking forward to it. 

I know a new stadium is progress but Belfast just doesn't do it for me

If Clones want to keep it, they can build a modern stadium fit to hold it. They have shown it zero respect and look only on the final as a cash cow.

I would say that the people of Clones have shown more respect to their stadium than those in West Belfast.

[Milltown Row2]

This is daft, the ulster finals will be in Casement IF its built.

It'll be a brand new state of the art stadium that will be used by the Ulster council and by Croke Park to hold significant games after the Ulster championship.

Expect some serious teething problems at the start as it will take a few games/events to get it right with regards to traffic and commuting to and from the place.

But it will be some set up when it gets up and running, plus the businesses around the place should do very well come match days

Spoken like someone whose never had the experience of being backed up on the M1 trying to get to Casement?? In my experience it was as big a traffic nightmare as Clones, hated going to it for the big games.

What do people do when they go to Arsenal, Anfield, Manchester and so on?

There is no shortage of public transport going up the falls, there is a train station about a mile away if you are being backed up coming off the motorway don't take the car, get the train in from Lisburn and park there and walk. Loads of options, but that needs to be met by the transport

I think the likes of trains etc will need to be used more. As I said before, people are used to 'throwin her up on the kerb' when going to games but like going to Croker people need to go by train and other routes into Belfast. As MR2 says, it'll take a while to find its feet. Going to the Ulster Final last year in Clones finished it off for me. A complete kip of a place. I'd prefer if they just hosted the games in Croker or somewhere than having to back to Clones.

[Saffrongael]

What Casement was like getting to 20 years ago will probably bear no resemblance to what it's like when it's built. People just have to accept they won't be able to just throw their car up on a kerb and walk 100 yds to the ground.

There aren't many big grounds you can do that at

[bennydorano]

Is there an infrastructure project in tandem with the rebuild?

It does not appeal to me in the slightest.

Train and Glider. Will the new transport hub at Great Victoria St be built in time?

There's park n rides all along both motorways.
There's the odd train, certainly Down, Derry and North Armagh fans will be catered for.
Buses still exist.

Like Clones has absolutely none of this. There's not even a decent road. The ground is a f**king dump.
