Casement Park in line for major overhaul - 40,000 all seater Stadium.

So while in the one hand the GAA could use the money they have been given to get a good modern stadium fit for semi finals and most finals at say a 25k capacity ( and most importantly would get Antrim their home back), you want to spend whatever it takes to get another 10k in which will be filled once every 3 years for the sake of saying the 6 counties have a stadium which is as good as anywhere else in the country.

The GAA should be told to take the money they are getting or f**k off as there are a lot of other priorities in the north at the minute than filling a few peoples ego with a big white elephant.

Casement is to the GAA what Brexit is to the DUP.
Push like fcuk for the biggest you can get. Dismiss all the warnings. Ignore everyone else's wishes. Blinkered on their own version of the end product - don't care how we get there.
Balls the whole thing up for yourself.
Refuse to take responsibility. Blame everyone else.
Demand someone pulls you out of the massive hole you dug with your own greedy and arrogant little shovel.

Clowns.

100 percent

Nonsense why shouldn't we build a stadium that's fit for the future. I remember when 25k turned up to watch Tyrone V Armagh in McKenna cup at Casement. Dream big, build big, achieve big.

Id say the only ulster final fixture that would get 30k these days would be Armagh v Tyrone or Armagh v Down at a push.  Its not like it was 20 years ago for various reasons.  The football is dire, people now have many other interests in their lives and probably most importantly the ticket prices are a scandal.

Two nice stands with a few corporate boxes and open terrace at either end would do the job, like a smaller version of Pairc Ui Chaoimh

You can make that argument for all public spending. There's always something better to spend public money on.

Nobody ever asks why we spend money on defence, or weapons. Where's that money coming from to give public sector pay rises? Yet to support the largest sport in the North all of a sudden it's too much money, too big.

The largest sport in the 6 counties got sorted years ago.

The GAA fucked this up from day 1.

38k all seater is actually conservative. We should aim for a 60k stadium, cause that's what'll be required in the future.

I'm not dying about the site and have said a good few times on this thread that moving it somewhere more central would be a better idea. But it needs built and the NI Gov fund it.

But the current charlatans are incapable of building it and the funds will be pulled eventually
