Thats more like it! That will be a very impressive ground for ramblers with one bigger stand with facilitities to compliment the other small new stands... Fair play!
lets all hopes it goes through
Drogs planning decision will definately be out today. One of the lads on the Drogs MB called Meath Co.Co. this morning and was told that it just has to be "signed-off" but that will be done today. They are a bit slow to update the online planning but I will post here as soon as the decision comes through. Fingers crossed.
If (I stress if) it gets permission I guarantee someone will appeal it and hold it up for another few months. Oh the fun of planning in Ireland.
Boyne Rovers are trying to move out to Monasterboice and you should see the 6 pages of submissions made against their application - including the local GAA club :0 now maybe all of these submissions are in favour/supporting the move (as is my submission & I presume Mr John Delaneys) but I doubt it. Drogs seem to have gotton off light compared to what these guys are facing.

If it doesnt get permission today what are the stadiums chances?
I suppose it depends on the reasons and how resolvable they are or aren't. If they don't get it and it looks doomed and pointless to carry on with that specific project I would guess there will be a review of the clubs existence - all Drogs know there is no future in utd park and if we can't move home we have 3 choices - plough on and get weaker and weaker, or try to find another locaion etc or put ourselves out of the misery now.
All Drogs have known since our new era that this is the critical point in our continued existence. When Vinnie Hoey spoke about not being able to continue putting cash into the club - other clubs supporters screamed - look another shelbourne etc - whereas all drogs knew exactly what he meant - if we want success in utd Park we will have to plough cash into the club with no return (financially), we need the new ground to finance the club going forward and allow it to expand - that was his point. No one can reasonable expect someone to bankroll a club forever - the directors undertook to do so untill we had the new home up and running. That was always the strategy (and they have stuck to it) and this ground is the keystone to that strategy.
And the decision is .....................
no decision! At least it wont be announced until after councillers vote on the re-zoning of the land. Its currently zoned as agricultural and any development would be in contravention of that so it now goes for re-zoning.
So when's that?
Great country... If only the councillors had been so by-the-rules 21 years ago.
I don't know what's going on with this application but it can't be 'no decision'. It must have been refused or withdrawn if it wasn't granted as a material contravention of the development plan by the elected members has no bearing upon a live planning application submitted prior to the councillors' motion. But then again this is Meath- a rogue state of the old school in planning terms in this country.And the decision is .....................

As an aside Bray fans should keep an eye on this tender for a mooted public transport interchange by the dart station.

I have it on good authority that the Carlisle Grounds will feature as a possible site for this project. I know about the terms of the lease there etc. but 'strategic infrastruture' imperatives may win out.

yeah we've heard about this too, they will prob buy the land behind the red seated stand and part of the car park area, hence why no development has taken place
The sod turning ceremony for Harps new stadium will be in mid May according to the Donegal Democrat today.
Still a few minor legal hoops to be jumped through but fairly soon the contractors should be on site.
#NeverStopNotGivingUp
Yes, Harps sod turning is on Monday week - 12th May. Construction could start within a month. 2009 could well be our last season at Finn Park as eighteen months is the timeframe given for the completion of the new stadium.
The new stand at the RSC opened for yesterdays FAI Junior Cup final and was filled with Carrick fans who enjoyed their teams 2-1 win. It makes its Eircom League debut on Friday night v Wexford youths. Its a fine stand with far better toilet facilities than the cramped ones in the older stand and makes the RSC look a decent stadium now.

Pics from the Carrick v Killester game in the RSC yesterday.
The New Stand (Kilbarry side) holds 1760 while the old one (Cork Road side) seats 1270 bringing the seating capacity of the RSC up to 3030.
Wiring, tubing and most of all, those people with hard hats, boots and reflective vests in Tallaght Stadium this morning.

Tell all the Bohs you know
that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.
The one morning I forget to have a look when I'm passing! I'll take a stroll over later and check it out. Good news.
Tallaght Stadium Regular
It's hardly the time or the place for a Village People tribute gig.
A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.
Ah Sheridan, he of the light bulb thread, I was expecting better than that
