you are aware that they dont own it and will be paying rent, which obviously could increase if it is not seen to be making a profit.

I hope it works out for glenariffe, but from what ive heard it could be a bit of mess for them, and for what, better changing rooms.

That’s the thing, it is owned by “Friends of Glenariffe”, a separate entity to the hurling club. In my opinion that wasn’t always made clear to people when fundraising was going on throughout the years.

What Glenariff have achieved in raising and securing funding to build their new facility is nothing short of magnificent. They are an example to many other clubs who wish to improve their own facilities. That being said securing the funding is actually the easier part. When all the big knobs leave after the grand opening and tea and sandwiches that is when it get tough. There are no grants for heat, electric, rates, maintenance or the like.

That's the nail on the head & i feel we have maybe over extended, could be wrong. I just think the maintenance & upkeep could be difficult year on year.

I remember ticket prices were reduced for replay in 2013 when Cork v Clare drew

Has anyone bought any NFL ripoff jerseys from them?

Yeah I would be interested in the quality of them as the legit ones are extortionate

Why do people just think homelessness is just about a shortage of housing ?

Hey Syf, any thoughts on Elliott putting in a good shift for the cowboys last night Ruth all the controversy banging over him? I mean, they released a player who was misidentified in a robbery so aul Jerry is clearly a man of principle. When it comes to a star player, he'd absolutely agree the same...oh wait

An NFL team would start the devil himself if they thought he could be productive

Correct minder, the worst offenders of this historically are the Cowboys and the Raiders, they really set the bar low for bringing in knackers because they can be productive.

I actually think Ray Lewis was the worst case

Anything new that is decent? Watching a few stocking filler shows to keep me going. Strike, Doctor Foster, Trust Me and a few others that I can watch while marking the books. Haven't started season 3 of Narcos yet as I need to concentrate while watching that but I have heard great things about it. Waiting patiently for the new Gomorrah to come out. Can't wait!

I thought Gomorrah was finished with ?

Well the DUP/UUP attract all unionist voters.Not one of their MLAs supports Gay Marriage.A referendum on gay marriage in the North would comfortably endorse the continued ban as the sizeable portion of devout catholics would combine with unionists on this issue.

The BBC documentary on DUP voters showed that plenty of them don't have any problem with gay marriage.

I think most people just aren't arsed, (no pun) even though we are continually told it's a massive issue

Surely hes not on the rooster because he cost to much? The 49ers made a serious mistake keeping him over the guy now at the chiefs! Getting rid of the manager also put the 49ers into free fall

I was hoping the dolphins would take him over cutler when tannehill went down. i wonder how much the cuban thing was in miami's thinking and how much was playing ability. He would not have been a popular choice. Cutler will probably play great now and prove me wrong

Cutler for his faults has an arm, look at the receivers Miami have, Landry & Parker. Kaepernick would be getting them the ball down the field. He operates with a very restricted playbook, it's all inside the numbers

This isn't Rodgers or Brady we are talking about. If he played like either of them he would be starting on a team. Team obviously obviously see his average play, being kind, as being not worth the extra hassle

I would imagine he would be an expensive back up, and as for your example of Jared Goff. He was a #1 pick last year, the Rams are hardly going to stop his development to go with someone Like Kaepernick.
