'You can see that the demolition diggers are in at the minute and, for West Belfast to have a state-of-the-art stadium, it will be great for the area.'
Antrim's Dermot McAleese is eyeing another run to Croke Park as the Saffrons crank up in the Tailteann Cup and is hopeful that they can return to a new Casement Park in the near future.
McAleese, now in his 12th season with Antrim, said: “It’s not often you get to play in Croke Park when you are in Division Three and Four, but this competition gives you a realistic chance of getting there. “Andy has been brilliant, him and his team, they have been a breath of fresh air, to be honest. You know Andy, there are no back-doors with him, he is open and honest.
Antrim’s designated home game against Tipp was staged at Corrigan Park and McAleese is hopeful that a return to a refurbished Casement Park, where he has never played at senior level, is finally on the horizon.
