Reply To: An Irish National Stadium!

i liked that at the time also. however the premier league wouldn’t sanction it and i think neither would fifa. playing in another country. this seems to be an excuse that the pout however i believe cardiff city in the 1st division isn’t in england…please feel free to contradict me on this one… it’sthe same excuse they give for not including rangers and celtic into premiership.

the hought could also transfer to rugby in the shape of the 4 provinces. and i do believe too that the gov should listen to the 2 associations. however will they?

is there space for an 80,000 stadium at lansdowne? ifthere was that would be an inclination for me to start supporting that particular project. if they could build the 60,000 with the option to extend to 80,000 then that i think would be viable. they could see how much it’s used/ how much money it generates and then decide to add the extra 20,000 or even more( i wish).

1 question though. they say a decision is needed quick but if they do tear down lansdowne. where will we play our home games when this is going on? or will it be a stand at a time like croker. this will reduce the capacity by lots during construction.
