"Gah bad" man at it again

Do you ever question the GAA?

Ignore Duffer. He only signed up to bash the GAA over a fundraiser for a Millionaire in Cork.

Jeez you're nasty

SF need to come out an explicitly say that they support GAA and the redevelopment of this Stadium. They have held it up for long enough. Rugby and Soccer all have first class stadia. Why not GAA the largest sport in the North?

Because they falsified H&S documenation?

Ohh is that right, you pop in with a statement like that. Show me your evidence

Thats the story. Read the article above.

The delay is 100% internal to the GAA

Yeah but that's just some Unionists opinion, doesn't mean it's correct.

You also say because the N I Government are not in place to move this forward then it's the GAA's fault

The argument was put forth that the reason the IFA and IRFU have their stadia done and dusted and the GAA dont is political bias.

That is bollocks.

The delay in the project was invalid health and safety projections, which put the whole thing on the back burner that was only cleared up a few days ago. We need to start holding our own to account, not blaming mythical unionist bogeymen

How many games per year would the new Casement be at capacity or close to capacity?

[Tony Baloney]

How many games per year would the new Casement be at capacity or close to capacity?

Totally dependent on who plays in the provincial football final, so it could 0 or 1.

If its built, they have to play all of them at Casement, along with a quater final

A QF as in a Super 8 game? Why would that happen unless Antrim reach that stage?

I'd say the Ulster final will be played there. But if Donegal play Fermanagh in a Ulster semi, why take it to Belfast? Surely Clones makes more sense?

But how many of those matches will be at capacity (34,500) or close to it? I'd still say around 1 per year.

[Jeepers Creepers]

I would imagine Casement being milked for as much as possible (if built) so to say it will only host one championship game is absurd.

[dec]

I can't see a new Casement bringing in much extra attendance.

Are there many sold out championship games in smaller grounds?

For the very same reason Clare and Wexford hurlers were dragged down to Cork to play an AI quarter final last year.

[Jeepers Creepers]

If built!? Ulster championship games, Possilbe Super 8 game. Ire-Aus boring rules, possible other sports and throw in the odd concert. While they mightened fill to capacity constantly there is the potential to make alot of money for Ulster GAA and the surrounding area.

That was a knock out Qtr Final.
"Super 8(sic)" is Croke Park, Home and Away.

Maybe they could move Dublin's third (away) super 8 match there. So instead of say playing Tyrone in Omagh, Tyrone would have to give up home advantage and face the Dubs in a neutral venue. It's only fair like.

Yes Clare Wexford in Cork is mad, but that was the gaa making it up as they went along. There is simply no reason why a Super 8 game will be played in Casement (unless it's Antrim).The rules are 1 home, 1 away and 1 neutral. Unless you're Dublin of course.
