Just wasn't meant to be. I really feel that Tommy Ryan has underachieved as a Waterford hurler so disappointed to see him go but the show must go on.

Do they rest the money in an account and start work after the Championship games next summer or do they start work immediately and have a good bit of it done in time for the games ?? AFAIK we only have 2 games at home in the league

If they bulldoze the place in June they can play league games in Fraher next season without too much hassle. It'll be 12 months again until Championship games return, and those will involve Clare and Limerick who'll bring smaller travelling fans than Cork and Tipp - so they could potentially play with a partially completed Walsh Park.

hardybuck wrote: » Loss of revenue number one. Secondly, Cork and Tipp have huge support bases and will likely have large numbers of season ticket holders. In a scenario where Fraher Field capacity is down around 6k for arguments sake, there is a strong chance that there would be more visiting fans than Waterford fans in the venue.

TheScoringGoal wrote: » I stand open to correction but I think that the feasibility of Fraher to hold the Munster championship games was explored last year, along with Walsh Park and revamping both, and with current health and safety regulations the maximum capacity was revised to somewhere around 6000.

Gardner wrote: » well **** me! i've kept away from the kip for the past 3 or so years so didn't know they had improved the dressing rooms. still though the money should have gone towards Walsh Park.
