Judgement being handed down re Casement. Looks like judge is quashing the appeal against the decision, good news.

[bannside]

Positive news for a change. That was an important judgement.

Is there room for an appeal?

[Sportacus]

If someone says it now can't progress because there's no Assembly it will tip me over the edge.

No. Pretty sure this is the end of the road for the residents campaign. Thats the end of the legal / planning issues, now there is a big funding gap to make up and in the absence of an Executive that's going to be a significant problem.

Exactly Brendan. Who is going to make up the deficit? Original financials were forecast at £67m (open to correction) but rising costs and materials has driven that cost north of £100m.

You'de like to think assurances were forthcoming in this regard before proceeding to this stage. Or does that start for earnest now?

I'm getting on, I'd like to ref a game at Casement again, did a underage final there before it closed but was hoping out of sheer goodwill that they will allow county finals to be carried out there at the start 

[Jeepers Creepers]

What executive??

[Would ye whist]

You're pretty c**k sure there that you will be getting appointed to County Finals by the time it comes around.....................

Hoping I said and you went with pretty c**k sure?

We have had underage finals up to minor and senior finals from junior upwards but sure you couldn't wait to get in there and make yourself look silly.. just highlighted my bit

Plenty of roles within doing county finals also...

Then you have to deal with the tender again as its Public Money, the design has changed and re-tender I would like to think to avoid Jr's would no doubt be the approach, those lads at CPD have a fair amount of PS funding to oversee and taking past records the Capex will have increased again by the time it eventually goes out so possibly 4-5 years away on a good day?

Awarded to a contractor 9 years ago, it will have to be re-tendered no doubt

[bannside]

Not so sure Heron Bros will see it that way EOC!

So will the stadium be now changed in any way?

Herons Buckingham JV, happy days if they can stand by their original tender amount
