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

From the Times. Notice the Shite about Sue Gray's pub, you would think that it was in Cullyhanna, not Mayobridge

Vibes are really not good - just think it's going to be the case that Labour let some time pass, say that the cost are too high/timeline too short to be ready for the Euros/Tories should have supplied the money two or three years ago and reduce the amount of cash significantly.

The fact that UEFA has a contingency plan in place that will net them more money and make folks in London, Wales, the Republic and Scotland happier looks to be a final nail in the coffin.

This would be OK if they provide some money, on the basis that the project has been held up further by all this talk of Euros and the previous government actually nominated Casement. With some money there is a possibility of building a GAA stadium of some sort.

I'd say there's no way that there are going to provide no cash whatsoever. What I do think is likely is that Ulster GAA will end up getting way way less than they would have if they'd managed to cash in the Tory/in time for the Euros/blank cheque deal.

What I'd be concerned about is that Ulster GAA will be too ambitious with what they build, the project will inevitably end up going over budget and Ulster GAA end up with a massive debt that they will be struggling to pay off for decades - also know as the Cork GAA model. Rather than just one county being screwed up, funding accross Ulster for clubs and counties takes an absolutely massive hit for years(possibly decades) to come with the priority being money to pay off the debt. I'm concerned that way too many of the Ulster GAA folk still seem to think that once the stadium is built that it will be some sort of magic infinite money machine.

Rachel Reeves slashing spending to plug a £22 billion black hole left by the Tories.  Hilary Benn will be some operator if he can persuade her to splash the cash on the Andytown Road.

Ah sure, what's £250m in £22 odd billion.

Peanuts!

Usual inaccurate shit reporting from Tele. It's not '£310m bailout'. Zero mention of the contribution from GAA, Irish gov and Stormont. Do facts not matter in journalism anymore?

After the week the Unionists have had here over the Armagh win, if this gets announced it could finish them off completely

I'd say Simon Harris also upped the Dublin contribution as the pair of them looked like two young bucks about to indulge in their first pints of porter.

Harris and even the GAA should up their contribution if London does its bit.
I'm sure that FG will get credit for doing this.

They should I agree. But at the same time, people like Damien Duff saying the money should be going to league of Ireland soccer academies.

Duff is yer typical stereotype Dublin sour faced soccer whinger.
I heard he's disgusted that his kids play gaelic games🙃
