    Cork Footballers

    Somthing similar happened in Killarney, they opened the stand, shut it down quickly and reopened it the week of the match. its probably something to do with them waiting to see what the uptake is from the clubs I'm not saying this will definetly happen. Buyer beware and all that but I'd be...
