There's protesting, and then there's this. Just too far, surely a true shels fan wouldn't be that stupid to do this

So there's literally no information about this fire and yet you imply that it was started deliberately by an aggrieved fan.

There's no smoke without fire

Well I did say surely a fan wouldn't do it, but it would be random if someone with no connection to the club would do something like that. Let's wait till the truth comes out of course. Obviously it would be very disappointing if a fan would go this far though

Wouldn't setting the ground on fire be counter productive? They want to stay at Tolka!

I heard it was Cork City fans who set it on fire. Surely a true Cork City/LOI fan wouldn't be that stupid to do this ?

I didn't actually. But it's about as much use to this thread to say so as the original post was.

Shels twitter says it was a minor fire in "the derelict house". Why is there a derelict house in Tolka?

It used to be the old office down where the old dressing rooms were

In hindsight, maybe I was too quick to lay the blame with an aggrieved fan, but recent goings on made me think that was the logical reason. People do extreme things in the face of adversity..

Out of interest, has anyone come out with how it actually started?

Who took the pictures of Tolka before and put them on here, showcasing the disrepair? Can't find them for love nor money.

Tolka has been a derelict house for about 10 years now
