	Ulster Rugby : History Page
		Ulster Rugby, with its playing and administrative based at Ravenhill in Belfast, is the only sport running a full-time professional team based in Northern Ireland, with a full game development structure beneath it.
		The Ravenhill Stadium, with a capacity of 12,300 is the home of Ulster Rugby but equally hosts finals of Club and School competitions from Under 10 Mini Rugby to the Senior Clubs Final.
		The Stadium is owned by the I.R.F.U, and houses the administration centre for the game and changing facilities.

		Ravenhill, the famous home of Ulster Rugby since 1923, is to go up for sale...
		While a special investigation into the finances of Ulster Rugby inside today's paper also reveal that the Branch are desperate to expand their commercial base in a bid to provide financial security as the IRFU reduces its operating grant to the four provinces.
		The Ravenhill's coffers were recently boosted by the record-breaking £1.2m sponsorship deal with the Bank of Ireland while record gates this season (up 37 per cent on last term) have put the province on course for its most profitable year.

	New national stadium - Football Forums
		It was propsed that there would be othe sports like rugby and gaelic playing at it too, but the rugby team wont leave Ravenhill and we all know the problems getting the GAA to play at the new stadium could cause, one being the flying of a tricolour.
		Ravenhill is the home of the Ulster rugby team which plays in the Inter Provincials and basically as a club side in European and Celtic League games Tommy
		The stadium itself, well, the Kop stand is on par with whats required, however the south and railway stands would need demolished, basically ruling out any use of windsor for quite a while because that incorporates the player changing rooms, bars, and main entrance.

		Ravenhill calmly slotted the ball into the far post to put the home side on the board.
		Ravenhill then passed on the favour done to him and set up Victoria's third goal by assisting Steph Steiner who put it away cleanly.
		Dave Ravenhill sent a trademark cross in towards Nico Craveiro who placed a beautifully timed header in at the near side to record the insurance goal at 86 minutes.

		The stadium, which is still on target for completion in March 2006 despite these changes to the plans, will now have a capacity in excess of 15,000 seats.
		The stadium will be a magnificent iconic structure, fully enclosed, and under a "floating" curved roof over the whole building for maximum aesthetic impact.
		Then a 1-2 between Ravenhill and Ipoua gave the latter a chance to chip for the far top corner but he was too high.

		The new Ravenhill will have 14,000 capacity and as stated by Ulster Rugby themselves it may need to be in the region of 18,000 before considering the move.
		Ravenhill has sold out once since we won the HEC in 1999 and Ulster have failed to qualify from the group stages and currently are seeded 28th in Europe.
		Many simply feel that to place a stadium outside of the city with the nearest railway station a couple of miles away was a political decision forced apon the various sports.

	The Labour Party - Northern Ireland - - The Development of a Multi Sports Stadium in Northern Ireland
		A new stadium is needed predominantly for Northern Ireland football, which could be used, on rare occasions, for large rugby football matches.
		Labour considers that a stadium could be planned for both association and rugby football, whose pitch size requirements are similar, but that the pitch size requirements for gaelic games could not be easily combined with the other sporting codes without significant loss of ground atmosphere.
		The willingness of the sporting governing bodies to "go along" with Government plans is motivated by an unwillingness to "pull the plug" on the others, as well as by a natural desire to remain "sweet" with Government in relation to wider Government support to their respective sports.

		City were kicking themselves for throwing away the points after being 2-0 up but a draw was no more then Doncaster deserved for their battling display.
		But the home side showed plenty of character when they battled back in the 55th minute as Ravenhill gave them a lifeline with a 20-yard shot which rocketed into the top corner.
		Ravenhill was shown the red card a couple of minutes later for a second bookable offence after clashing with Windass and it looked as if Rovers would lose their momentum.

	Slugger O'Toole: Maze site well ahead in sports stadium race...
		Because the whole point of the stadium is that, by throwing a splurge of cash in one go at this gleaming white elephant, the NIO can claim to be doing something for local sport, without actually devoting any imagination to it.
		A stadium in or near the city centre would allow supporters to have a couple of drinks and a bite to eat before or after the match and then hit the pubs should they so wish.
		The Maze stadium is just another example of the kind of unenlightened short-termism that has ensured that Belfast has not made anything like the kind of post-troubles strides it might have.

		Rovers were determined not to sit back on their early breakthrough though and came close to extending their lead in the 14th minute.
		He felt the introduction of Ricky Ravenhill, scorer of the opening goal, was influential in his side's victory.

	Slugger O'Toole: No new stadium?
		I agree we need a new stadium and the Maze is preferable to none, but those weren't the two options, regardless of what way the government are trying to spin it.
		From the start this stadium was more about politics than sport, hence the twisting of the collective arm of the GAA to be involved in something that they have no need for.
		The main obstacle to actually building a new stadium, from my view, is that Ulster Rugby have said they're going to play next to no matches there, after committing to 15 of the 'magic number' of 30 games a year.

		Mr Pearson said final plans for the stadium and surrounding infrastructure are due to be completed by the autumn.

	BBC - Northern Ireland - Season Ticket
		And as the IFA votes in principle to support proposals for a new National Stadium on the site of the old Maze prison, viewers of Season Ticket and listeners to Sportsound emailed and texted us their views on the matter...
		This stadium is being built in the wrong place for the wrong reasons and to an agenda driven by the wrong people.
		The suggestion to have a national stadium that moves on from the sectarian past of our country is a good idea, but to then put forward the Maze as a possible / probable location is simply ludicrous.

	White Elephant Draws Nearer - OUR WEE COUNTRY
		If the choice of the site at the Maze turns the stadium, as many believe it will, into a ‘white elephant’, it will be the job of elected representatives to maintain the stadium, should it fail to bring in the crowds.
		Also, with a stadium in Belfast, a sporting event lasting an hour or two would become a family day out, providing a great boost to the economy in the surrounding area.
		But at the end of the day the stadium isn't going to be like a Mcdonalds, theyre not going to have it built over night so we have some time to swallow what may be a bitter pill to some.

		Defences stayed on top in an end-to-end first half, although Rovers should have gone in front when Lewis Guy was presented with a great chance in the 25th minute but his header finished wide of the mark.
		The turning point came early in the second half when Hartelpool missed their best chance of the match in the 57th minute and were quickly punished when Rovers went ahead.
		He had cause to regret when Doncaster snatched the lead through Ravenhill after Guy had made amends for his earlier miss with a great run which set up the chance.

		And he 'totally dispelled' rumours an Irish Premier League football club could be invited to become the stadium's anchor tenant, with Linfield the name in the frame.

		Ulster Rugby are based at Ravenhill in Belfast and have a strong and sometimes feverent support (beating Leicester in 2004 springs to mind).
		During my trip to Belfast in 1999, we were lucky enough to have tickets to the Rugby World Cup at Ravenhill Stadium.
		This was a small intimate stadium, and it seemed similar to a high school football match, even though the eventual champion Aussies were the best in the World at the time.

		The churches are powerless to help our crumbling society because too many of them are led by ministers who are so worldly that they don't seek the true conversion of their members.
		As Ravenhill said, these "clergymen are the pests of the Christian world, the grand nuisance of mankind, a stink in the nostrils of God."

		If it's a choice between Tolka or any other soccer ground in the country and playing at a 'proper' stadium in the UK, then there can only be one winner.
