Reminds me of Parkhead when they demolished the three terraced sides. Eerie looking.

If the GAA had consented to move the All Irelands to Semple for a year or two (Lansdowne wouldn't have been considered in those days) Croke Park could have been done in one shot and much cheaper...

Perhaps so, but the GAA still got it all done for around €300million, which is very cheap on international standards for a 80000+ stadium.

Wembley...€1bln approx!

Two signs in Rush and Lusk station last weekend
One told about the disruption.
the other stated ther'd be a normal Saturday service on Saturday; normal Sunday service on Sunday and a Sunday service on Monday. from this station it also said so it wasn't a completely generic thing. but there wasn't a normal service on any of those days though....
