Impressive design but the Anderstown road end leaves a lot to be desired! Why no cover on this end!! With our weather this is madness. No one will want to be exposed to the elements.

Still feel at 40k it's a bit big. Would love to have seen it modelled along the lines of the Forsythe Barr stadium in New Zealand (see link). 30k capacity, breathable roof with natural turf. Cost in the region of 100 million pounds. 25 million more than the current proposal.

I dunno lads; looks we like a soccer stadium to me......... Give me an oul tin roof with oul lads leaning over a barrier chatting about an u-10 game chewing straw any day.

Looks fantastic, built for concerts id say with the open end for a stage. Mini croker.

Everyone to their own! I just think this is a rather lazy design, with the GAA again more concerned with capacity than adaptability!

Looks good but where is the car & coach park?

Up in the waste ground beside the pd; a couple of local youths in celtic tops will be charging two euro a piece to make sure your vehicle is secure.

QuoteGreat for political demonstrations and commemorations too.

Do you think they will have the next "Ulster" day there.

Very very impressive stadium. Will Ulster finals be played here? Clones will never get a game then
