Don’t Castleview own that pitch Central played on or am I mistaken? There’s no harm in the astro being built it’s badly needed. Clubs will benefit from it I couldn’t see many objecting unless they’re objecting on the grounds of being jealous it’s not theirs. What other club could offer what Castleview are offering?
Some fellas in here really couldn't write what they know about football on the back of a stamp.
An astro around the northside is brilliant for every team and castleview have the best facilities for it simple as that, castleview will benefit no doubt but don't Mayfield and Springfield benefit from there's? Joys of having the grounds to do it.
I doubt you even know what a stamp is lol . Difference is Larry , Curley and Moe didnt pay for Mayfield and Springfields one. If i was a committee member at a club I would definitely be checking if the AUL have any right to give that money to one clubQuote:

The fai paid for it, do ya think they did a fast little whip around or what?
local clubs needs a hand with these things of course they do in what world do you think script and memberships pay for better facilities that barely keeps the lights on.
If it happens which won't be anytime soon everybody will benefit from it and its hopefully a start of better things to come for around the place football wise
I'd be delighted for Castleview. I hope it gets done, would be brillant for the kids and all the teams.
It's just the AUL money, that's the thing that needs to be discussed. And how it came about, why AUL are on board, etc.
So let the FAI pay for Castleviews astro then! I just had a whip around and i have 420 for you Chips and beans
Lads,
The FAI won’t help with anything they don’t have any money.
It will be up to the local parties to find an agreement any how to fund it.
If people are suggesting the aul are coughing up 70 to 80k you would expect at least 60k to come back if they are getting adequate use of the Astro in the long term.
20k contribution is nothing that’s only around €500 per team in the league which is nothing.
No city club could offer what Castleview are offering.
Of the country clubs left Coachford or Rathcoole could offer similar land
€500 each, nothing. What response would your club have if I emailed asking for €500?
Grants, findraising, loans and donations are how other clubs have funded theirs.
This seems a new venture that I wouldn't trust.
What are Castleview offering?
Castleview are paying the 20 and obviously their land if what I heard was true.Quote:

There was a recent announcement on the Echo that the 5.5 million set to one side for the new amenities on the site of Father Callaghans and the old Northvilla Park land had been released.
It's gone out for tender.
Full size astro with lights.
2 full size grass pitches.
Walk way
Local amenities etc etc.
Those that seem a bit more believable.
Very similar to the set up out in Tramore Valley Park , to cater for lots of sports.
But I only think I heard it ?
Jason you crack me up man course you heard it your cover was blowing weeks back haha that plan has falling to pieces not enough money to do it ffs there’s a row of houses on the kilmore rd next to Fr Callaghans pitch that were build 5 years ago on a bog still sitting idle that needs to be knocked down and their saying the council have no money to do it so the plan on amenities site we’ll never see in our lift time.
If the astro pitch does go ahead on Castleview view land will the Cork aul committee have the rights over who uses it and when its been used like block book it from Thursday-sunday and leave Castleview seniors dictate the other 3 days
See that’s the problem now I have fish is Aul invest should it not be for Aul use why would senior have any say at all get Msl to invest if that’s in case secondly all the talk on here last few weeks every tine junior players played senior I and more were told they should play it’s a senior club so I can say I think Castleview committtee will be licking their lips new pitch for their senior team haha Aul will get scraps id say haha
Wow Harsh Ref , how dare you say Castleview are a senior club , how dare you be negativeQuote:

haha I wasnt having a go at you really , was just pointing out that I was told I was negative and other stuff when I said it was a bad idea. When I said Castleview are a senior club my buddy Fruice corrected me and said they were an AUL club . Maybe their senior team have disbanded and I missed it?Quote:

A lads for the love of god fixtures down for next Sunday Paddies day the Aul is the give that keeps giving town be shut down for parade lads be driving all over the city to find route home parade at 1 o clock no thought at all for lads with young kids that will want to bring them to parade they be more relationship broke up next Sunday thanks to Aul hahahaha
Well said ref i came on here to say the exact same thing and I’m not even involved anymore. Absolute joke the one day of the year that there should be no games and they manage to make a ****up of it.
Will probably p*** down and the games will be off anyway
This Aul committee needs complete over haul no common sense at all they’ll be sitting at home nice and warm having their dinners paddies day while fellas driving around looking for route home something seriously needs to be done it’s like the rules or being made up as we go have a look at Grattan they travelled to conna last week no pitch line should of been awarded game home team team wearing same colour as Grattan no change of game should of been awarded game and to top it off the pitch was unplayable so they try play in under 8 pitch alongside it Ref was having none of it pitch way to small called game and Aul have Grattan down to play um next week no walk over what’s going on at all.
There giving there money away by the bucket load apparently ,,,,,why should anything be surprising.
Games St Patrick’s day is mad all clubs will be down players you think they would have a bit of common sense and have it off
when you are voting on giving the money to castleview just vote no then JasonQuote:

will you stop trying to talk sense ! Salt n pepa and the lads don’t want to hear sense . You are right the finals of those could be done and dusted ages agoQuote:

You 10000% are speaking sense but common sense and Cork aul dont go together i hope you bought members of both clubs a drink each and some nuts cant see city wanders winning is anything after happening with the supposedly illegal player they played or is it that just sour grapes from Ucc
Can anyone explain how Grattan didnt get home advantage after the farce last week?
Even Aul would find it hard to explain it haha knocka went out to strand few weeks back ref called it pitch not lined. And member of Aul told um straight up stop complaining nothing can be done haha
The simple answer to this is because its the AUL Committee. Yet people on here think its a great idea for them to hand over tens of thousands for an astro they won't even own . Give me a breakQuote:

Fish, I don’t think money will be handed over that easily and they’ll get back the majority of what they put into it. Come on be positive for once it’s a great initiative for the Northside.
Home team is responsible but the fixture has been switchedQuote:
