Great video. Quick note that the bird atop the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is not a chicken, it’s a cockerel. Fun fact: it has a large dent in it from when Paul Gascoigne shot it with an air rifle while it was at the old stadium.
Few people will be surprised if Casement Park and indeed Northern Ireland's inclusion in this is dropped before 2026. Northern Ireland has a long a glorious history of dysfunctional organisation, poor governance and public negativity scuppering plans. A plan for a 40,000 capacity multi sport stadium and entertainment complex fell apart due to public negativity to the plan. One main objection was that it was supposedly too far from Belfast city centre, despite the fact it would have been closer than Wembley is to Trafalgar Square! Other similar plans that routinely happen in the rest of the UK and Ireland have also failed in the last 25 years. Haven tried twice to build a holiday park there but pulled out both times citing that it was simply too difficult to work with local objections and obstacles. NI remains the only part of the islands without a National Park, despite it's immense beauty. Yep, yet again people can't agree on what would be the simplest of things elsewhere. And three times, consortiums have come to Northern Ireland with the plans for a theme park and quickly withdrawn again after speaking with the locals.
The national stadium was blocked by unionist politicians because it was on the site of the maze prison where the hunger strike by republican prisoners occured which they considered terrorists and didn't want the stadium becoming a site for commemoration of those events,it had very little to do with the distance to the city centre.As regards theme parks not sure what went happened there or the national parks
@@Joseph13163 probably don't want theme parks as they create excitement which might remind people of running down the high street avoiding Provvy sniper fire 🤣
@@visionist7 Well they don't mind getting out for orange marches GAA matches,garth brooks concerts and so on.The likelihood that at 2million there is not really enough of a market for theme park.there is only one theme park on the entire island that is Tayto/emerald park in meath
Casement parks principle use will be for Gaelic football and Hurling,though the requirements for its use as a venue for the EUROS means that will be alseater for the tournament and more expensive to build but will still have a huge GAA pitch which means fans will be a good bit away from the Action when its used for soccer.
@@thesmithersyWell leaving aside the thinly veiled sectarianism ie proper football it is a white elephant even in terms of GAA as one of the main reasons its being built is for the ulster final which is not as important as it was due to changes in championship structure
So it's been confirmed that Belfast's Casement Park won't be a host venue, and Northern Ireland won't be eligible to be a host country. Sad, but inevitable.
Yep, but you can trust our wee country to eff it up. I mostly blame the IFA for their ridiculous redevelopment of Windsor a decade or so ago and their insistence on a paltry 18k capacity. They could have had a 30 to 35k stadium in the Titanic Quarter - and think of the benefits of it there alongside the SSE arena complex, big Titanic museum and all the hotels there - or even Ormeau Park, reasonably centrally located and accessible to all. The Maze site was never a good idea though. Too far from Belfast and dripping with historical and political baggage. But no, the IFA insist they stay put and put up a Mickey Mouse effort of a national stadium. So then when the chance to host a major global tournament rears its head the IFA have to go cap in hand to a hostile sport who have no interest in redeveloping that site anyway, seeing as they've pumped in considerable resources elsewhere, but only agree for the chance to get their paws on some sweet, sweet government grants. Not that I can blame them for that. Happily the whole sorry mess has been finally knocked on the head and we are spared the embarrassment of it all. I've not even mentioned the ramifications of Northern Ireland fans on the Falls Rd and the potential disaster of what that might have brought. And for once we can breathe a sigh of relief that's that's all avoided. TL/DR: The Casement thing is off. Bullet dodged (possibly literally). And the IFA clampetts are ultimately to blame, as usual.
Capacities at major tournaments are always slightly different from their "usual" number because of the amount of extra space given over to media, corporate, and different or increased/decreased segregation areas.
Man Utd asked not to be included as they weren't sure if they would be upgrading the stadium at the same time. Everton's old home of Anfield can't be used as the pitch dimensions do not conform to modern international standards.
What did he just say with his first comment?? Feels like an eternity since Euro2024???? I'm seeing this in early December 2024. It wasn't even 5 months ago and also this video was made 4 months ago. He's off his head.
@@-Osiris- When you compare the two, Emirates or Spurs, there is only one winner. I have seen a few Videos on You-Tube of people visiting both stadiums and all mention it is looking a bit tired when you compare them both. I'm not having a go at Arsenal or the Stadium.
Dont think Casement Park will happen unfortunately. A 50k stadium in Belfast seems just too big and unnecessary. Maybe if people were more realistic and went for a 30k seated stadium rather than 50k it would be a lot less expensive and much better suited to its location. Rail seating could be installed and removed when needed which would increase capacity significantly although UEFA do require all-seated stadiums for their competitions.
Why there's no Anfield, Old Trafford, Celtic Park an Emirates? This is a disgrace to football heritage. They could've literally host the whole thing just in London tho...
Anfield: pitch size does not meet UEFA requirements. Old Trafford: is falling down. Celtic Park: lacking facilities and SFA wanted their matches to be played at their national stadium. Emirates: Not as good as Spurs Stadium, and they didnt want too many stadiums in London. It's actually quite understandable if you think for 5 seconds about it.
Ahh… another chance for England to get a home tournament, easy draw and last two games at their home ground. If it seems like England’s quota here is “a bit much”, like an overbearing big brother who only ever talks about themselves and gives you a condescending pat on the head every now and again… well, that’s entirely accurate.
@@DarrenCowzer-cx7ot No the people of Northern Ireland don't want IFA money funding a GAA pitch. If they want it then the GAA can pay for it but the IFA have to contribute nothing to it. Stinking part of Belfast where no Northern Ireland fan will be welcome by sectarian bigots

Cork might get Casement Park's spot if they don't build it in time. Páirc Uí Chaoimh holds 45,000.
Maybe but it would require alot of work to make it all seater as presently it only has 21000 seats croke park is more likely
