Mmmmmhhhhh... A disgruntled Donegal fan methinks. Everything he mentions in his column is what I love about Clones. Oh, and the parking around Casement is far worse!! Brolly (Monaghan) - Posts: 4472 - 30/07/2015 13:56:46 1761215 Link 0 |
Not a fan myself. We need a mid ulster stadium with purpose built parking DoireCityFC (Derry) - Posts: 1580 - 30/07/2015 14:00:29 1761220 Link 0 |
I am one who loves Clones and will not be happy when things move to Casement. dstuction (Donegal) - Posts: 1209 - 30/07/2015 14:07:32 1761227 Link 0 |
A Stadium with Motorway Access will do just nicely :) Naysayer (Antrim) - Posts: 2071 - 30/07/2015 14:20:52 1761236 Link 0 |
I actually think Breffni is the best stadium in Ulster. If it was in a slightly more central position it would be perfect for games. Parking is no issue in Cavan town either. gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts: 4971 - 30/07/2015 14:31:13 1761245 Link 0 |
Great trip up their against Derry for a qualifier back 2003. I had literally just started to sup a few pints with the oul lad in the pub! Was still underage but was my first time having a few at a Dublin game! They were free back then, the oul lad wouldn't let me off a round now!

Had cousins from a Cavan at a match in Clones saying that the parking in Clones was great and compared to Breffeni it was a lot better but everyone has their opinions I guess MonaghanGlory (Monaghan) - Posts: 738 - 30/07/2015 14:52:13 1761261 Link 0 |
DoireCity, they were the days, back when the GAA actually let us play champo games outside of Croker!! Must start the petition for a road trip... AthCliath87 (Dublin) - Posts: 345 - 30/07/2015 14:52:27 1761263 Link 0 |

Just looking at a map there and there appears to be a bit of Monagahan by where the only way you canget into into is through Northern Ireland on all sides bar a narrow bit connecting to the republic but a river goes across it. Anybody know anything about that little area? Must have been not so fun for the residents back in the day. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11219 - 30/07/2015 15:01:14 1761269 Link 0 |

'Sure Casement's going to be a great spot altogether, it's going to be 100 percent perfect and nothing wrong with it, going by some poster's' bumpernut (Antrim) - Posts: 1852 - 30/07/2015 15:56:38 1761291 Link 0 |
Bit drastic yo close it. Donegal_Man (Donegal) - Posts: 37 - 30/07/2015 16:11:52 1761299 Link 0 |
Yeah not sure if it was ever said bumper - nothing like a bit of sesnsationalisation though from some posters who are struggling to come to terms with Casement being Ulsters HQ :-) Offside_Rule (Antrim) - Posts: 4058 - 30/07/2015 16:16:47 1761302 Link 0 |
haha antrim looking for it in casement..they wont have to worry about ulster final day for a while..instead of wasting money work on the infrastructure and roads around stadia like clones and breffini.. the ulster final could be shared about on a year to year basis including pairc esler and the athlethic grounds. casement i dont think any outside support like it.. detruth (Monaghan) - Posts: 196 - 30/07/2015 16:35:33 1761315 Link 0 |
