GAA Discussion / Re: Kildare GAA to move house..

[Edit]
Oops - timing. I had this posted before I saw that the KCC donated the land. Arra feckit. The point stands anyway.

A very nice new stadium by the looks of it, but is it more than what Kildare need?
Are they happy just to host Kildare league and qualifier matches + club games, or are they hoping to get extra games?
If there is 5,000 seats and the rest roofed terrace, then that should be fine.
However anything beyond that is probably overkill.
Still, it's good to see that the GAA's ability to purchase grounds and land back in the days when there wasn't too much spare cash, is reaping rewards.

The most overused used cliche will be about dead patriots spinning in their graves.
Journos (or space fillers) will devise several different hilarious plays on this. The noise and breeze generated by the whirring of corpses and ream. We'll be picking ourselves off the floor, they'll be that funny.
Then of course the playing of "God Save The Queen". There'll be the usual braying about how the world didn't stop spinning, how the sky didn't turn dark when it was played.
Well fcuk me, I (and all other barbarian gaels) fully expected all those things to happen and maybe an earthquake and bolt of lightening. Hold the front page.
It's remarkable how vividly the crackpot, flat earth, GAA loon exists in the mind of juvenile journos?
I'm sure they've all encountered hordes of them.

redevelopment of O'Toole isn't a runner due to residents, Ben Dunne and the pitch and putt club course. They tried something a few years back. The plan was to turn the pitch 90% and have a stand either side. The pitch and putt club refused to budge. Since then Ben Dunne has come in and built a gym, so its definately not a runner now.
Why does it pop up every year on the annual report as a source of income?
