Looking a bit of guidance from posters who have had a hand in developing club gyms.

My club are looking at a development project involving installing a steel-fab shed on club grounds, and fitting it out with a full spec gym.

Any advice on the following:
- Recommendations for steel manufacturers who specialise in these kind of builds (around Ulster preferably)
- Recommendations for Gym fit-out providers for small community gym
- Approx costs of the different stages of development
- Any aspects you'd do differently if doing it over again

Thanks.

Best advice I could give on this would be to avoid the prefab shed option if possible and if not to fit an air circulation/recovery system.

Did you find there were condensation issues with a shed? Air circulation/condition can be expensive.

We've one of those prefabs and condensation is a pig even after insulating it.
You will need a heat source and ventilation in there to negate condensation.

[That said, it's highly possible we could finish on 4 point. It's looking unlikely but I wouldn't be surprised if we turn Carlow and Down over]

This team is the product of seriously underperforming underage teams for the last two decades. I do not blame the players at all, collectively their level is their level.
When was our last competitive minor teams? 05/06 under Sambo if am correct. Yes, we have a decent club game but intercounty is an entirely different animal.

The heat on Davy may actually provide a welcome distraction from how flawed our underage to senior system is within the county. My opinion is our fingers should be pointing elsewhere rather than the convenient scapegoat from Clare.

That said, it's highly possible we could finish on 4 point. It's looking unlikely but I wouldn't be surprised if we turn Carlow and Down over.

You'd still go down on the head to head with Kildare.

I'll call a spade a spade here. When you have Managers who come in and whos sole motivation is money then you will always hit problems. It's evident both in hurling and football at the moment. They treat players as commodities and not as players. Players have walked from football set up. Likely in hurling too from what I am hearing.

One thing is for sure, Davy won't be at fault here, it will be the players, the culture etc that were the issue.

It was the same in Clare the last time and with Wexford also.

Labour Peer Lord Glasman reporting back from DC inauguration.

"The brutal truth is that the vast majority of people I met, and I met many during the last week, consider our Labour Government to be a front organisation for paedophiles and Pakistani rape gangs. They consider our position on the Chagos Islands an example of progressive idiocy and our appointment of Peter Mandelson an unnecessary provocation. Several people showed me a photograph of him blowing out the birthday candles with Jeffrey Epstein.

Extract from: 'The Age of Restoration: UK-US Memorandum' - Strategy Document for Morgan McSweeney

The Chagos Islands deal was agreed by the previous Tory Gov.

Also,
   guess who Mandelson rents his gaff from?

It isn't a Russian Oligarch, no it's a Rothschild.

Who knew?

I think it's out of your hands now TBH.

You have Carlow and Dublin at home next up.

Carlow is possible for the win, but I really can't see you getting anything from Dublin who will be pushing hard for promotion. Anything is possible, but there would need to be a serious, marked improvement in form and even when Antrim was going well with the big Gleeson, the Dubs had the better of most of those exchanges.

Then the final game v us in Ballycran in Newry and at that point unless we can take a point or two off Kildare (in Ballycran) before that then this is a dead rubber as Kildare will have you on the head to head if both are on 4 points.

Statement win for Cork

Is it?

I don't understand teams standing off Cork as they thrive on space and movement.

Get in their faces and go at them and I think they will falter.

Not a proper dig thrown ffs

Some crowd in Cork for a league game   

U20's with a win in Donegal.

Serious strong Clare team named for tomorrow.

 

Adverts during sports games.. I don't know if anyone was watching ITV but the side by side advert and match was a shock to the system

I think the TMO watched the ads more than the actual replays he was meant to watch.

But, yes they were a pain in the hole.

and "project" players from SA or elsewhere in the pipeline?

The Ski jumpers attempt at gaining small margins in the Olympics.
If you know, you know.

The guy they first tested that on was a brave man.

How did they work out that helped in the first place?

I knew about all this in 2012 or earlier need to check. Its fascinating how power has dripfed and then run various narratives to obfuscate.

Noam Chomsky, darling of "the left" has some questions to answer as does Thiel. Though they are only the public faces of power.

Anyone who has studied the phenomenon that is illegal to discuss has come to the same conclusion.

Awful feeling another major war of some sort is now inevitable, sooner than you might imagine.

The Zionists via AIPAC and the Epstein kompromat has both sides of the US political divide by the short and curlies.

America Israel First.

Scrum and lineout worked well enough so that is a positive.

Won the second half 

Best of luck to Aquinas in the MacLarnon Final tonight.

They won
