Yeah they should. Just trying to figure out exactly what is on offer for this 10 year ticket. No league games reduces the value significantly
Surely theyâll have league games in PĂĄirc Ui Chaoimh for that very reason. Itâs the reason all England home games are at Wembley - premium level sales were used to finance the stadium upgrade - despite regular media / player / fan comment saying atmosphere would be better if games were moved around club grounds.
Howâs confidence ahead of the Mayo game lads ?
You tell me? I havenât seen anything confirmed on the matter. Certainly not confirmed in the marketing bumph for the 10 year tickets. I doubt it would be financially worthwhile to open the stadium for some of the football league games.
If they were throwing league games into the mix for the 10 year tickets Iâd have thought it would be well flaggedâŚthere is a passing reference to it in the sales brochure that it is âenvisagedâ that league games would make up part of the expected 25 games a year in the ground.
Ah lads the finish on that concrete is terrible. @caoimhaoin you did a bit of shuttering back in the day. would you find that finish acceptable? Tight cunts were probably using cheap plywood to save money.
There is murder over the whole thing.
Sure they are supposed to have 15k tonight to meet H&S before saturday
Premier Intermediate hurling?
Now having said that, they seem to be getting all sorts going. I had a few less in the womans class tonight due to it. Random enough ladies too to be going.
They will fiddle the numbers anyway.
Did mayo just refuse point blank to come down?
Inishshannon up by 5 pts, half time
Looks to be about 15001 there
Spot the ball
Chilly enough in the upper section during the first half. Facilities in the premium level arenât too bad. Plenty of roasters tucking into the carvery.
Official attendance of 10,749
No i think that round is always neutral
Youâd know it was the Pairc straight away

For a brand new supposed state of the art stadium it looks pretty underwhelming. It looks very like the old Pairc hi Chaoinh with a good lick of paint and a nicer pitch.
Sounds very much like a decent effort by GAA standards but thirty years behind what you get in the US and Europe. New Casement Park already looks far superior.
Anyway big thing is how quickly they start making a profit and pumping it back into underage and grassroots. They need to be chasing down every concert, rugby, and non-GAA opportunity they can.
Wasnât there rumours a good few years back that they were selling it off and had bought another piece of land where they were going to start from scratch?
Donât know but the cork agricultural show owned the lands originally and think they sold the block of land at side of stadium to the GAA as part of this redevelopment. They in turn invested in a massive block of land on west side of the city where they run the show now.
Very shrewd move as it has excellent access from the ring road and massive long term redevelopment potential. these lands are across the road from the UCC âfarmâ and the dog track (do cork city still train here?) so could have been a huge joint sports campus development with ucc if they had wanted to go down that routeâŚwith UCC selling the farm which is ripe for redevelopment and worth a lot of money. Edited to also point out that the show bought the lands jointly with UCC. And bought from NAMA right at bottom of market. Iâd say already trebled value
The parking situation was a bit of a disaster last night I believe but a lot of that is people wanting to drive out as close as they can. Have seen no mention of park and ride for the games at the weekend? Huge P&R facility at Kinsale road roundabout which would be a handy spin to the stadium if the bus got priority access. Otherwise just park in town and walk out is the best approach. You will get away from the city centre a lot quicker than from close to the stadium
