I think Muppet is spot on with his analysis there, especially the point on Kildare. Will be interesting to see how they go this year especially with Grimley gone, should really show Mc Geeneys managerial credentials an ability to stand on his own to feet without a mentor as such. Don't agree with down though, until they get "defenders" they are going nowhere.

Prob looking at Harps/ Killeavy/ Cross and maybe St pats for the minor teams

Clans are starting work on Davitt in the next couple of weeks, The plans are to completely shift Davitt so as the bottom goals will now be at the old 21 yard line. In between the 21 and the clubhouse will be an all weather facility . After the new pitch is completed there are another two stages that deal with Changing rooms and another few things.

As a club we had to raise a certain portion of the money and i am happy to say that through a lot of hard work we got there, the rest is council grants and different stuff. But it looks the part. Only down side no homes games this year for the club.

What exactly will the county board be funding then? Plans sound great.. Fair play

Those international jerseys are pathetic. Absolutely loath the idea of them. Cant see there being a market whatsoever. I don't like the idea of bringing out a new jersey every year, soccer-like scenario, but a new design every few years does no harm at all. Personally I like the jerseys of Offaly, Down, Tyrone, Fermanagh. Would have to say that the Cavan one is nicest though, I got my brother the hoodie for christmas. It was the nicest hoodie there aswell. Anyone feel a little bit sorry for Kildare? that in terms of a new jersey or new design, they are somewhat limited.

Feel alot more sorry for their dry cleaner, they will certainly earn their money during the gutters of the national leagues.

Cork will definitely be contenders again but it will be interesting to see if the final loss this year has given them greater incentive or knocked them back. As someone mentioned they have alot of quality youngsters but also the likes of canty and lynch have alot of miles on the clock. This is a reason why i don't think Tyrone will be AI contenders this year.... Too many miles and too much football played, think they will be in decline for a few years until the underage players of the past few years start to gain experience and become accustomed to Senior intercounty football, although with Tyrone you never know and they will be hard to write off.

With the standard of football at the minute there are 7 or 8 teams (Kildare, Mayo, Galway, Armagh, Monaghan etc) who are as good as each other and it will all come down to the "day". You only have to look at Kerry last year against Sligo when they should have been gone.

Fitz i,m always in for a bit of devilment. Hope i,m not correct for two reasons 1) dont really want to be lambasted again 2) i should have placed a bet and then i could retire Bainsteior made the call to one who knows,approx 5,600 covered seats in the new 2 tier stand, press box, 2 new changing rooms, first aid room and safety control room. sounds exciting ps with all seats being covered down to pitch level.

Spot on Wanderer....seen todays Irish News. I see Seamus King mentioned that Clans will be next to get work done, do the clans have to provide any of the funds required for this project i wonder or will it be paid exclusively by the county board and grant schemes?

Very encouraged with Stevie Macs interview today in the Irish news, sounds like he has got his hunger back and also any interviews with players since POR was appointed have been all very positive about his backroom team and the attitude they are taking!!

He would be unlikely to be too critical of the backroom team considering the supposed effort he went to in order to get some of them in place.

I didn't mean specifically him who was praising him, read an interview just before Xmas an interview where clarkie was singing their praises also, think it was in the Belfast tele.

two teirs you say.. That's impressive!! So it nots goin to be simlilar to say Healy Park? It does sound exciting indeed.. About time we had the county facilities to be proud off!!

The contract is for 40 weeks i am reliable informed from someone who was at saturdays meeting. Plans will be officially displayed at the meeting on wednesday night and probably on line after that im sure.

cheers. Seems a fairly quick turnaround, wonder what the seated capacity will be anyone any ideas?

I heard that the work on the new seated and covered stand is due to start this week or next, does anyone know how long roughly it will take to complete? Also it would be good if the county board released these plans on their website or to the press so the grassroots can get a look at them.

Lads our club is getting a major redevelopment and due to this we are selling our current catch nets, they are only 4 year old. The net for the catchers at one end are in great condition. However, a new net will be needed for the other end. The galvanising and all steel structures are in perfect condition.

If your club is interested let me know and i'll provide you with the rest of the information

why are use selling them? Surely you can still use them!!

the grant we're getting covers new ones...

What does the new development of the clans consist of? New pitch? Clubhouse? Stand?

What sort of stuff did use do to raise money for development?

Who is bi? And who was shagging who's clients?

Can't make this up

Seany change your name to Selwyn lol.. In the first week of the year I'd say you have claimed the title of poster of the year.. PM me the rest of it!!

Wonder what Nolan will be like tomorrow?

Great TV... The woman is corrupt to the hilt!! Bye bye peter also. It would make you wonder what these public representatives get up to and how they can abuse power.

Tongue in cheek, thats my point. I have no doubt that I would be more deserving than one or two who will form this four representatives delegation.

Of course I hope they pick up the accolade, thats why I nominated them. You could also argue that someone from the County Board should have nominated the team, and not an ordinary punter like me.

You are no ordinary punter .. Hopefully 2 managment and 2 players go!!
