Imho, a brand new fully covered stadium @ the Maze beats either Clones or Casement.
The simple truth is that it would cost us too much to bring Casement or Clones up to the level of what is proposed at the Maze.
The big problems with Clones are
1. location - it never made any sense to have Ulster's main stadium in in its far south west corner.
2. transport infrastructur is appalling. No matter how much it improves, it will never match having the M1 motorway at your front door.
The big problem with Casement is that it will never have the space to expand to be a fully covered, 2/3 rds seated stadium, which is what the GAA in Ulster are looking for.
