Replying To Seanfan:  "Nearly half the population of Belfast are anti GAA, 60% of the rest are soccer orientated."
How many in Dublin are soccer oriented yet it's the capital city of GAA? Matches delayed in the past so to facilitate Dublin supporters to watch the end of soccer games in pubs.

Replying To tireoghainabu:  "Where did I say that I was in favour of the stadium, I would much rather see money being invested in local clubs in Belfast to promote football and hurling. You don't seem to have a problem contributing to PUC in Cork, strange that. Being from west Tyrone I would prefer to see Clones up- graded to a 40k stadium and new toilets."
Sorry, where exactly did I say I was happy with contributing to PUC? Can you show me?

And you didn't answer my question, would you be happy, in Tyrone to pay for a pet project to improve participation in Antrim?

Well I can't recall you going on a rant about funding PUC.
I don't thing you are familiar with how capital projects are funded , Tyrone or Leitrim for that matter would not be asked to contribute for a project in Belfast.

A pet project to improve participation in Belfast isn't a 'capital' project. And anyhow you'd expect Antrim & Ulster to fund that. And particularly when it appears that Antrim aren't been asked to stump up any cash for Casement Park.

Read my post again, where did I write about anyone wearing soccer jerseys? Soccer orientated supporters yes.
