I have watched umpteen games over the decades. Until 2013. That was the last time Casement Park hosted a game. On June 10, 2013. That was the Ulster Senior Football Championship quarter-final between Antrim and Monaghan. Since then the site has been derelict. A sullen lump of waste ground.

When a car company introduces a new brand, it takes a bit of time for the car-buying public to get to know about it and its range of cars. Advertising helps and word of mouth is also very good, but nothing beats seeing the car ‘in the flesh’ on the road or in shopping centre car parks. Cupra is a sub-brand of Seat and they have been selling their cars in Ireland for four years now. They are reasonably happy that they have gained just one per cent of the market.
