Would that wash if u wanted to built a house, but only pay 1/6 of the cost to build it. They have to build whatever can be built, with the money available.They seem to miss the point that their sheer lack of due diligence, back about 10yrs ago, is the main reason we in this shit show.I think there's a couple of points here. Firstly nobody knew that it would take so long to get the project off the ground, nobody predicted Covid and the impact it would have on inflation etc and finally be it £15m or £57m it's a hell of a lot more than the IFA or Ulster Rugby contributed to their new stadiums

Yes you are. You aren't allowed to name complainants
You can't name defendants if doing so identifies the complainants (ie sex offences committed within a family). However, if the complainants waive their right to anonymity, then the defendants can be named.

Interesting that you ignored this post made in response to the quoted and several days before you posted the above.Quote from: RadioGAAGAA on February 25, 2024, 09:44:33 AMTo be honest, looking at the date and time, I obviously had a few pints in me when I posted that. You're right in that Something along the lines of Ravenhill would be sufficient although it wouldn't win any design awards.Quote from: Dougal Maguire on February 25, 2024, 02:22:33 AMGreat idea. Windsor all covered all seated, Ravenhill something similar. Casement as suggested above. Croppy lie down
Something similar to all-covered all-seated... except of course Ravenhill has 3 sides covered seats, 1 side partially-covered terrace and 3 sides uncovered terrace.

Is it not reasonable to block Casement or if it has to go ahead there needs to be major £££ spaffed in PUL areas for reparations

Already said it many, many times on the thread. But for your benefit.
- Replace the old main stand with a new one, covered seating. All the facilities they could ever want could be placed underneath this as the new structure could be far more significantly hollowed out relative to old, and the back of it could be extended over the road to add further floor space. No big difference to light on houses to the West of Casement as the existing stand already blocks it.
- Stick a roof over the (renewed) terrace on the far side of the pitch. The back end of this structure can hold the badly needed amenities. It'd be relatively low profile though.
- Renew the terraces at both ends of the pitch. Don't cover them. If there is sufficient demand - as determined by polls, one of the ends could be uncovered seats.
Capacity of 30-40k for the one or two times a year it may be needed - which would be during the summer. Comfortably sufficient covered capacity for during the autumn/winter/spring. 3 or 4 significantly different price tiers.
Basically the stadium that the GAA needs at a cost that will benefit all in the long-run.
Instead we're getting an expensive to build, expensive to maintain milestone, which will come with astronomical ticket prices.
But hey - the Ulster Council might be able to hold a few concerts. That's what this is about right? Otherwise it makes no sense to build what they are trying to build.

Quote from: From the Bunker on March 05, 2024, 05:29:21 PMUlster Rugby, IFA got the same deal with no financial contribution. Hampden, Millennium Stadium and Wembley all got loads of public sector funding.Quote from: Dougal Maguire on March 05, 2024, 04:04:54 PMQuote from: From the Bunker on March 04, 2024, 11:11:39 AMI'm a bit lost in this Casement Park debacle.Where exactly are you lost?
The GAA are paying £15m toward a £300m Stadium.
Soccer will be played there in the Euros.
The GAA then get it all to themselves for Games, Concerts, Conferences, etc
GAA get all the revenue?
Where I am lost is that the wider community are paying the Bill for this yet the GAA hold the Keys and reap the profits, while basically getting a new stadium all to themselves.
I thought this stadium was for all the community? That it would be ran by an Independent Management Company.
Sure you cant expect the Soccer or to a lesser extent Rugby to be comfortable under such an arrangement?
