Some people are never happy.
Cusack Park in Ennis has got a major facelift, yet the county board are still getting it in the neck, despite spending over €1 million euro in dragging the county ground into the 21st century.
Anyone who has visited the home of Clare GAA in the recent past could hardly forget the primitive toilet facilities on offer, as well as the old-fashioned seating arrangements in the stand.
It was rough, it was ready, but it was hardly befitting a county with dual ambitions like Clare.
However over €1.5million was pumped into the stadium by the county board in the last 12 months, replacing the old stand, upgrading the media facilities, and making it a pleasant experience for everyone concerned.
It looks great from the outside, but one eagle-eyed Clare GAA fan may have spotted a major flaw with whoever was tasked with painting the stadium on Francis Street.
The Clare colours are, of course, saffron and blue. It does feature in several well-known Clare songs.
Unfortunately, it looks as though the stadium is now more welcoming to Tipperary fans, rather than Banner supporters, as spotted by local journalist Pat Flynn at the weekend.
There’s no denying it sure looks like blue and gold, but the county board seems oblivious, as there have been more pressing complaints about the legroom or lack of, now on offer now due to the redevelopment.

The mistake comes after the media facilities at the stadium were criticised earlier this month by local scribes, who can’t see games from their new perch in the new stand.
