gibson park does not have the infrastructure.
Depends wot infrastructure you want.

It has enough infrastructure as an as yet un-named venue required to host zero fans.

For all we know, Gibson Park might have a big garden, big enough for a pitch?

If it's behind closed doors they don't need infrastructure

I can't believe anyone is actually taking notice of this, let alone the Gibson Park bit. :lol:

If it's behind closed doors and he is banned. Does thar mean he'll have to watch it from his hotel?

If so, can he open his hotel door while watching?

Still think they could let the Ulster fans in - we're polite people - we'd close the doors behind us.

Doubt it - they haven't moved during previous pitch inspections.
