I don't see them having/being awarded the funds to buy it but you never know! The NI ticket prices have been jacked up recently so maybe they are playing a long game...!

One thing Windsor has in its favour is a railway line right beside it. Perfect for a large stadium. It baffles me there aren't a few platforms there already for match days and other events.

This would be a good step in the direction of hosting the Commonwealth Games. By the time that happens we’ll likely be a united island with Ireland as a Commonwealth member.


.......just see it happen...

I think there are platforms (??), they're just never used. Windsor could be/should be world class. Walking distance of the city centre and all the pubs/restaurants and clubs. Put a retractable roof over it and you have a multi-purpose stadium in the heart of the city. Perfect for boxing, concerts, events, exhibitions. Millennium Stadium v2. Massive boost to the local economy..

Who srly wants a stadium out on the North Foreshore, miles from anywhere!!! Or worse, out at the Maze #grim #keepItInBelfast

 

[belfastuniguy]

North Foreshore isn’t miles from anywhere though. Plenty of space and easy motorway and rail connection possibilities. We need the likes of a velodrome as well so why not at North Foreshore?

 

[plank007]

Perhaps the North Forshore for a Velodrome or an Aquatic Centre, but imagine walking from the North Foreshore to the city centre. #fonaCab

The Millennium Stadium in Cardiff is my favourite stadium in the World, it's literally 2 blocks away from Cardiff City Centre. It's unreal. Anybody that has any doubts about city centre stadia needs to visit to Cardiff on a Six Nations Match Day. Mann it's unreal!! The atmosphere is amazing. When the roof is shut it's a cauldron and then 75,000 people spill out into Cardiffs pubs/restaurants/bars/clubs....

 

[hypnotoad24]

Seconded. For location and atmosphere it is unbeatable. Superior to Wembley and at a fraction of the cost.

 

[plank007]

The Millennium Stadium is like having a 75,000 seater stadium 2 streets away from Royal Avenue. It's unreal!! It's amazing.

Wembley and Twickenham are grim grim places. Miles from London city centre. Grim. *shudders*

Let's build a city centre stadium and keep the party going!!

Although the most expensive option, a national stadium at TQ catering for all sports and events would have been the catalyst for bigger and better things.

The pitch at Ballymena Showgrounds as good as you have ever seen it, complete with dancing fountains.��

Looks good! Seems the league is getting more publicity and attendances growing! Hopefully further investment in and around stadia follows

 

[hypnotoad24]

Ballymena's one of my favourite grounds to visit, decent stands, a couple of great bars nearby and for some reason the away fan entrance is located closest to the town centre... very handy!

Never seen the pitch looking that well there... how long before the next stock car race?

 

[ulsterjamesie]

It tickles me that Ballymena United's advertising hoardings are handpainted (likewise with Larne's), by a well known eccentric Larne based former hotelier, crooner and all-round impresario (in so far as such a term can be applied to someone from Larne).

Bit of East Antrim QI for youse there.

Work has started on phase 1 of a £2.3m development at Blanchflower PF in east Belfast. It'll deliver an IFA standard pitch, pavilion & facilities for @WeldersFC, while a further £1.1m is being invested to create a 3G pitch for use by local teams - (link: http://ow.ly/cRNW30mCTNf) ow.ly/cRNW30mCTNf
