Are you sure that's Casement? It looks awful similar to the artist's impression of what the Hyde will look like after the renovations there

You only need to cut the grass to bring it back to its former glory. All else looks the same.

It's former glory was one of the best playing surfaces around. I suppose the weeds in terrace are something they should keep?

Whatever about the project in general, it was very very unwise to abandon the ground entirely before they were ready to go. Shame.
Not if you're pocketing the dough from the scrap metal & wood you had torn out of the ground.

Presumably the "dough" went to those who owned it, you might get something for metal, scrap wood is feck all use except to fleggers having a bonfire.

Why'd they not sell the floodlights?

Can only assume they were adequate for the new proposed ground, afterall they're not that old. Sad sate that looking in but i've no doubt that new proposed ground will be built within the next 3 years (at least started).

I kind of like the way it looks now.
It has character.
If you were any use you'd be playing.

On this issue about evacuating the stadium, whats the time of all people to be evacuated>?? I was at the boucher road last night at the peppers, and there is serious problems with the crowd coming out to one access point, way worst that Casement park but there seems to be no issue here issuing a license. A bomb scare at this place during a concert would be a total mess, take more than 30 mins plus to clear the crowd.. one rule for another it seems

Is boucher not open playing fields? So no real fire risk etc. Prob why it gets passed for a 1 off every year.
