Frustration seeps out of Neptune via leak in the roof

Where once those fans smitten by the skylords of Irish basketball punched holes in the roof at Neptune Stadium, now the harsh winters oblige.

Other than the necessity to cancel games at the stadium, there’s little new in the fact that the traditional cathedral of Irish basketball has sprung a leak. That, not altogether surprisingly, happened more than three years ago.

The stadium opened 33 years ago and the warranty on the roof was for 20 years. It served its purpose, and then some.
