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

[Tony Baloney]

How many people on county boards or indeed Ulster GAA have the background or experience to be anywhere near major capital projects. What is the professional background of Feeney and McGeehan?

[Armagh18]

What was wrong with Armagh? Best facilities north of Croke Park these days.

[armaghniac]

Casement is likely to get there in the end too but it doesn't mean it wasn't a clusterfcuk of a project.

There is a question over size etc for Casement that does not exist in Armagh. The Athletic Grounds was substantially full on several occasions in the last year and the stand is essentially full on numerous occasions.

You need to be of a building/ construction background at Senior Project Manager / Senior Architect level with a full bck ground team to even deal with the consultants and contractors.i deal with projects just up to a million, and the paperwork a shit show.

Páirc Uí Chaoimh won't be available for Cork's home group game in the AI/TC due to the Springsteen concert.

Then again it's only oul football the Hurley stuff isn't affected 🙄

Sorry, there is nothing wrong with the stadium but as you said, the redevelopment went on for an eternity.
Páirc Uí Chaoimh is a great facility but the project was a mess.

Pairc UI chaoimh main stand is impressive. Still to this day don't understand why they knocked down the old end terraces to replace them with almost identical structures ffs. Such a wasted opportunity

We're building cathedrals lads. It's not about this generation, it's about the next. Costs shouldn't come into it..

They have to claw back some money for these white elephant stadiums. GAA crowds are rapidly declining due to many factors, and the big crowds are few and far between.

I'd seriously question what GAA matches would even fill the new Casement with the Ulster Champ being slowly downgraded now every year. We're told there isn't even going be much parking? All the moaning about parking in fields in Clones, at least they had actual place to park.

Been to Belfast? Been to Croke park recently.. talk me through the parking there? What's the parking like round Anfield or Old Traford? Leave the parking out of it

I don't think public transport to Belfast is good enough to forgo nearly all parking. Lets not forgot half the province doesn't even have a rail service, and the bus services at least to the counties in Republic is very little.

I have been to Belfast even this year and got the bus to it, but services are extremely limited some days there isn't a bus at all. I'd most likely drive if I had to go there again.

I forgot about the enterprise train service to Clones. Also Motorways and ring roads that it has. Forgot all about it.

The argument for clones in that is...... has a place to park ie. The field. I have had enough internet for today.

Look just stay at home, watch things on the telly, it's easier, you'll not have to get off your lazy fat ass to use your legs! Jesus H Christ!

Is there not decent park and ride facilities at Sprucefield etc?

Pretty sure that when works started they found those were in danger of collapsing. I think that's why they were use replaced with identical structures.
