Could be 2021 before fans are allowed in. No sign of it in near/medium future.
So how come the GAA had fans in their county finals?
They officially had 400 for that final with the pitch invasion, may have to play behind closed doors now ?? No crowds at GAA games in ROI.

GAA is an amateur sport, where crowds can assemble as long as SD and other protocols are adhered too. I've attended 2 rugby matches in the last 5 days where there was over 200 people at each. Outdoor bar service was also available. This is where the short term of live sport involvement lies... go support your local club (i know i sound like a broken record but this is a great time for those missing rugby to check realise its still alive and well elsewhere)

Extract from Grenfell inquiry today


.


In an opening statement on behalf of victims of the fire, Stephanie Barwise QC said manufacturers of the cladding, insulation and other products were "untroubled by the safety of their products and some of them remain so despite the disastrous fire".

Picking out the insulation manufacturer Kingspan, Ms Barwise said its failure to "acknowledge the seriousness of their behaviours, still less the consequences, renders any other assertions they make utterly hollow".


Too soon to be thinking about alternative sponsors, and new name for the ground? Ravenhill perhaps?

Perhaps some of the other sponsors will exert some pressure.

And of course as we all know taking an extract of what was said in court without context and defence or response is unfair. It will be interesting to see how this enquiry does unfold.

I like your thinking Bobbie, I still call it Ravenhill.

Ireland’s loss with Cooney and Ulsters gain. I would say Lowe is certain get on the field so that he is IQ but it will be interesting to see how his defence holds up.

Opening statements are a load of guff.

Surely the process here is to wait for Kingspan to be exonerated before we start calling for their removal ?
