Tyrone county games could soon be played in a state of the art stadium on a greenfield site close to Ballygawley if county chairwoman Roisín Jordan has her way. Jordan outlined her vision for a new GAA stadium at Tuesday night’s county convention in Garvaghey.

She informed delegates that the county should aspire to having its own ultra-modern facility. “I believe Tyrone GAA should be looking to the future and their aspiration should be to build their own stadium. It would take a number of years for this to be completed but I believe a debate sooner rather than later should take place.”

“A Tyrone stadium could be self-funding and also provide us with a possible income after expenses are met. Tyrone is the most centrally placed county in Ulster and one of the most progressive, and a stadium built near a main arterial route would be ideal. Ten years ago if we had not the people with drive an initiative, Garvaghey would not have happened. We have a can-do attitude.”
