    True, but we don't seem to have a choice in venues considering the way the Markets Field plan is going. But yes, Jackman is a complete dump..

    Ha good one, it's obvious what i meant though

    Although seeing as you are so interested, i did support the LoI in general until about 3 years ago, it's only since then i changed my stance so my statement, even as you pointed it out, still has some merit.

    Whats your story? How come your back posting here? Forget your morals?

    most people would argue with you about the brandywell being in the worst section, but from an away supporters point of view its not great.
    as for the sdcc, i wasnt that impressed but when the second stand is finished it will add to the atmosphere. Do the council have any more plans in the pipeline ?

    From what I have seen . . . . .
    Best 5:
    Turners Cross (by a country mile)
    Terryland (biased, yes, I know)
    Dalymount (home offootball)
    Flancare (first ground in country with seating on 4 sides, well done)
    Lissywoolen - (if you build it, they - Premier Division sides, and Premier Division football- will come!!)

    Worst 5:
    United Park - a hole of a place
    Jackman Park - kip
    Finn Park - I accept funds are being put into new ground
    Brandywell - too far from pitch
    Showgrounds - how can anyone play fooball on that surface??

    ps - (dis)honourable mention to Cobh for Worst 5. Ground reminds me of orders on a submarine - dive, dive, dive
