There's more block-bookers than that so it'd make no sense. If they want a smaller provincial venue, the new Thomand Park would be ideal anyway.Quote:

Why not kill three birds with the one stone and build a state of the art 30,000 all purpose stadium?
Well in fairness with the summer football clashing with the GAA it would be near impossible right?

Because GAA senior size pitches are way too big > especially for smaller stadiums - a football pitch would just be too far away... Also - Munster have Thomand now, why would they need another 30,000 seater in cork? It would cost a lot more than what they are doing with Musgrave now...Quote:

According to todays Star the FAI will have to borrow between 10 to 25 million to pay for their share of the development.
Completely inaccurate. In fact, speaking to people who were at the game if the cops hadn't acted as quickly as they did it could have got very dicey. Poor stewarding and dopey fans were to blame for that one. As for the other things you mention, are you seriously referring to the Love Ulster riot as a crowd control issue?Quote:
