We are the Galway Boys Stand up and make some noise"
Yeah, the Holocaust of the German people was dreadful. Just like the slave trade that brought the Irish to across the ocean.
New Brandywell? I thought there wasn't going to be much movement on the Brandywell for a while yet! have the council finally decided to get their act together on this one?

As Irishmen we dilute our sense of nation by depending on the English to bring us our balls
Wake up and smell the coffee, Sligoman. I was in the Showgrounds a few weeks ago and it has progressed backwards in three years. There is no front wall, the seats in the 'away' stand were mouldy, the roof was rusty and there are loose stone chippings behind the goal where the dressing room used to be. Oh, and there was a fun fair in the car park.
Terryland was described on RTE by Eamonn Dunphy as "a cabbage patch" many years ago but it is looking great now.
The Showgrounds is a lovely ground and it crates a nice atmosphere and Terryland has always been in it's shaddow. Times have changed and the Showgrounds has been pipped at the post by Terryland.
All we need now is a team to beat Sligo Rovers.

It's as plausible as having a cinema

Some pics of the Bowl here I posted over in the UCD forum.
Having been to both Terryland Park & The Showgrounds recently i would have to say IMHO that Terryland is a supern little ground, for me easily only second to the recently developed Turners Cross.
In saying that i was also impressed with the strides Sligo are obviously making with their set up as well, nice stand and TBH for away support the smaller stand isnt the shabbiest thing i've stood in at an way game! Great arrangement with the training facilities right next to the ground as well, given its close location to the town centre the land could obviously be flogged for a bucktload of cash so i admire what Sligo are doing!
To be fair both clubs should be commended for their progress off the pitch, i look forward to the days when we're in a position to do something similar!
Koh
Thomas Davis have said they will be the last man standing, they were WRONG!!
SRFC will NEVER die!!
What is the capacity of the seated area?
What are the future plans for the Bowl and when will they be implemented?
1,500.
More seats and a bigger roof.
Good question.
The seated area is 1,500. 840 are uncovered, which have just been installed.
Future plans include covering the new seats and building further stands around the pitch. No time date has been put on this.
To expand a little on the other points, cover the remainder of the current stand, build an identical stand across on the other side and then finally to build small stands behind each goal which I think would bring the capacity up to 4,500 seats. When will that happen? I'd say over five years if ever.
Not having a go at any one club but this talk of 5 year plans for various stadia are just dreams. Its too easy to say "we have a dream of X capacity stadium" without any solid plans or funding behind it.
Only fully funded, planning enabled & scheduled plans should be discussed here.
The new ground as we have it is perfectly appropriate to our current needs. We also have ultimate plans for a four sided ground if we ever need it/if the FAI ever start looking at kicking us out for off field issues again. I think future phases are pie in the sky until then, but we always have plans to wave at the FAI.
Agree that there's no point discussing "plans" here. That's why Drogs' ground has its own thread.
When will the first game be played there?
Ireland: Discovered!
Probably next season, although it could be sometime before the end of this season.
new stand starting at the rsc tomorrow.
close on 2,000 seater which will run the full length of the pitch.
The new stand at Richmond has been removed, apparently.
Now that was a temporary stand.
