Folks, I assume Casement wont host any of the football championship finals?

Think all the championships are wide open this year.

Why wouldn't it?

[tintin25]

Thought it was closed for redevelopment? Or has that been stalled?

[qubdub]

As far as I was aware plans had been submitted, nothing more. Not sure that a decision has been made, surely it will remain open until the redevelopment is given the green light?

[takeyourpoint]

Casement will not be hosting any games. Although planning hasn't been approved the stadium needs to pass safety inspections etc to host games. The cost of these inspections are prohibitive thus no games at Casement.

Any word on nominations for the football manager if any? Nominations supposed to be done last night.

Really? Why is this? What makes the stadium any different from last year that would require safety inspections? Or is that an annual thing?

[takeyourpoint]

Each year Casement Park requires a safety certificate from Belfast City Council. A full safety check would cost a considerable amount of money. It probably isn't worth spending that money if the stadium is going to be replaced anyway.

I see Locky McCurdy named in the Johnnies championship squad on the county website. Is this the original Locky or a son? If it is THE Locky he must be hitting 40+!

[imtommygunn]

Don't think they even scored 4 from play! Brutal stuff. St Galls even with the players they had missing hit some cracking scores today but would have expected more of a game.
