Can't help feeling that if they'd:
- Replaced the existing stand.
- Put a roof over the existing terrace opposite.
- Bought up surrounding land and laid floodlit 4g pitches down for the locals/local clubs to use. It probably wouldn't be beyond the wit of man to make these transformable into parking areas for big matches.
That, in my opinion, would be a much better solution than a high-maintenance white elephant.

And all that could have been done without ever shutting the pitch. There hasn't been a game there now for, what, 5 years? I'm beginning to fear that there'll never be another.
This would have been a pitch for Antrim, but not much use of the windfall money for the rest of us.
However, there is no reason why the pitch could not have been kept open while this planning etc was taking place. The pitch should not have been closed until they were ready to go, even if they didn't have any big games using all the capacity.
