1,500 seats enough for you?

**Partizan** · 07/08/2007, 10:58 AM

Work on the new stand in the RSC which will have seating capacity of circa 1700 started this morning. Lorries & builders on site. When completed will bring covered seating capacity to 3000.

whats the story with Shels new stadium ? Will it be up to much ?

**LeixlipRed** · 07/08/2007, 6:24 PM

What new stadium??

**thejollyrodger** · 07/08/2007, 8:23 PM

I thought we were going to sell Tolka and move elsewhere (although in a poor stadium)....

The 1,500 seater stand is alright. I thought it was only a 500 seater stadium.

I think Athlones stadium is pretty cool.... You can probably put a second tier above it and get 25,000 in the door if it goes the whole way around.

That's great news. Will the new stand be opposite the current one?

**thejollyrodger** · 08/08/2007, 6:29 PM

will the athlone ground fill out the corners when fully completed ?

The lease on Tolka was sold to Oswald ~~Mosley~~Kilkenny years ago and he's been drip feeding us the cash from that deal to help Ollie out in his world domination thingy. We'll be lucky enough to have enough cash left to buy a table at thejollyrodger Pirate Poker Classic

Yes it will. The RSC will finally resemble of what you might call, a football ground.

with as population of approx. 15,000* I wouldn't think that the upper tier phase of Athlone Town stadium (Lissywollen) is planned for oh, say, what, maybe 30 years or so!

ps - it was pie in the sky ideas like yours above that has your club in the situation you find yerselves in today!!!

sorry that was a hypothetical... I was talking about the design.

**pineapple stu** · 16/08/2007, 11:33 PM

First time up in Oriel since they did it up - still not convinced about the pitch, but the ground looks a lot better. Much neater, new shed looks good, various bits of old metal and random shrubberies are gone too.

Arkaga apparently has plans for us to build a 28,000-30,000 all seater stadium, my guess would be in the new Docklands development.
