Was there not money already put into Corrigan to bring it up to the standard that it is currently at?

Seems a serious case of opportunism but who would be surprised by that.

It's for the betterment of Antrim GAA & will help Belfast GAA..

it opens the door for other clubs to ask as well who have hosted games. Cushendall is a good alternative for the matches, as are the others who have hosted games over the past few years.Do they not get offered it?

Having stood in ballycastle a fair few times im sure they will be peeved that this was offered for them as well.

As others have said, get the strimmer out first

Anyone who thinks having a stand will improve your club team is a fool

A drop of fizz in their beer wouldn't go amiss either!

Just the ground then?

Yeah and the future of the club, to me it sends out the wrong signal. Plenty of clubs are working away hard selling tickets, running events and grafting to put on the ground what ever it is they need.

I see no evidence of this in this case, seems to be stand with your hand out long enough and someone will eventually sort it for you.

ahoghill and ballycastle did it for a few years with no money offered and plenty of vols out on wet cold days to make sure the county matches went ahead.

As i said before, they might be a bit pissed off that nothing was offered to them. Cushendall held 2 games, very well i might add, and have a good terrace to watch the match, im sure they would want a nice covered stand for the county games held there.

Have you been the the Johnnies ground since the stand has been gone? They have to their credit, have great changing room facilites an indoor training center underneath the clubhouse and a decent pitch,

Like every other club the Johnnies have been doing fundraisers for years, their major handicap is having so many teams, ladies teams hurling and football to support that's a lot harder to support than lets say, Cushendall or Cargin who have one code to cater for... the money raised is going three ways instead of one

If they get a stand (thats a big if) then so be it, I (being a Naomh Gall man) wouldnt begrudge them it as all the clubs, our's included need to update our facilites, its wont make us a better team or encourage more kids to play, but will certainly bring the GAA into the 21 centuary

Yeah I have been up to see the 'new' facilities.

I would say they are not on their own in running so many teams, but to me that would actually increase the number of people/ families that they would have in the club? No?

I am not arguing that it is not needed, but totally smacks of opportunism to me. This if you look back is a historical element linking back to the whole redevelopment of Casement.
