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

Old Casement had plenty exits... Mostly all welded up but most houses had ladders very close to the wall to help you get in so id imagine they would help you get out... I wonder would they have charged again on way out?

Can you imagine the fun the UVF will have everytime there is a big game in Casement?

Spectators would be well advised to bring a sleeping bag, sandwiches & a flask of tae with them.

Of all the bomb scares in and around that area, I cant quite remember it ever being Loyalists.

Police have published a new policy detailing how they will charge private events for operations deemed over and above core policing services.

Sporting events including GAA matches, music concerts, community fairs and charity fundraisers are among the events facing charges under the guidelines.

And not the 12th???! Thats outrageous.

I think its fair enough to charge for extra policing, but how on earth can they justify not charging for the 12th??!

Last vestiges of the orange state.

Armaghniac, no harm to you, but I hope to God that none of my family, or yours, are ever evacuated from a full Casement Park using the route you have suggested. That will be carnage.

Hopefully these concerns will be addressed sooner than you think.  Heard there might be some big news on this before the end of the week.  With the last problem resolved, it will be great for us all to get over this hump and get the damn thing built..

When are we to expect a new planning application?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-33826653

"it would be at least another year before another planning application could be submitted"

That would suggest at least 3 more Ulster Finals in Clones.

Probably worth a read, but not tonight!

That's another fecking disaster by what must be the most incompetent decision makers/planners/architects/designers/ministers and whoever else was part of this fiasco.... Embarrassed or what??!!

Amber/Red: Successful delivery of the project/programme is in doubt with major risks or issues apparent in a number of key areas. Urgent action is needed to ensure these are addressed, and whether resolution is feasible



Casement Park – there are major issues with this project, which needs to attempt to obtain planning permission for the second time and needs to address key safety issues relating to operation of the stadium on match days. Relationships between key stakeholders are poor, and there is insufficient experience of a project of this scale within a number of stakeholders. Despite this, a resolution that still provides a strategic regional stadium for Gaelic Games, within budget but some years later than intended is still possible. For that reason we assess this project as AMBER/RED

[Clinker]

Based on our independent technical advice and discussions with project and programme stakeholders we believe design and operational changes that will need to be reviewed include adjustments to existing exits, examination of potential additional exits and capacity reductions.

[Maguire01]

Yes, noticeable that the GAA statement was silent on the issue of capacity.

[Rossfan]

Good news for Clones.
