    Bray To Leave Carlisle Grounds?

    Looks like Bray's money men unsurprisingly aren't investing out of any great love for BWFC. Also looks like they plan on going full time next season. Drogheda Mark II?

    No one has ever tried this before.

    This was totally inevitable. Those lads have only one interest at Bray and it's to build on the Carlisle Grounds. There's no need for practice pitches there. They could have a greenfield training facility elsewhere, but keeping the teams stadium in the middle of town should be imperative to building a solid fan base.

    Bray To Leave Carlisle Grounds?

    See here: https://twitter.com/paulcahill13/sta...67563844177920



    I would be deeply worried if I were a Bray fan. If the deal goes awry how do the debts get covered? Where will the club end up if the deal goes ahead? Surely it won't be nearly as good a site as the current one- otherwise where does the money come from?

    Don't the council own The Carlisle Grounds? Is the intention to convince the council to sell it to these guys so they can build on it, and give BWFC a "campus" miles away from Bray as part of the deal? The council should be telling them to **** right off. Also as Dodge pointed out on Twitter, good to see that paying debts is a much lower priority than signing a full time squad.

    This is only going to end one way.

    Most worrying thing is the alliance with Joeys, if this is a way of allowing joeys play as "Bray" in the underage league the child slave trade to England will continue unabated.

    There was some talk in Tallaght last night of a potential ground share in Tallaght Stadium. A similar arrangement as with Bohs and Shels. One stand would be the Rovers stand and one would be the Bray one.

    Bray seem to be mentioning SDCC at every opportunity.

    Haven't Bray had official links with Joeys in the past already??
    I heard a lot of Joeys players had went on to sign for Bray over the years. I'm sure I heard there was an official link of some sort...

    Yep, but it's been on and off like a brazzers knickers the last few years, they swap between Joeys and Ardmore every couple of years

    How can Bray approach SDCC when they are a Wicklow Club ! Tallaght would not be a good move for BWFC

    At the end of that article is a link to Fantasy Football Update.
    Perhaps they got the two mixed up
    These people have only one interest here that is to build on the Carlisle grounds.
    Bray & its fans are the ones who will lose out here.
    Anything else is just fantasy

    Of course they could just build this new complex first & then build on the Carlisle grounds after that

    Disaster. Moving the club out of Bray to a greenfield site connected to Bray via a Luas link that is so far down the list of GDA transport priorities that it's basically hypothetical.

    And that's pretty hypothetical given how ethereal Dart Underground is.
