Waterford supremo reveals stadium hopes


April 20, 2004

Waterford United’s forward-thinking chairman Ger O’Brien has revealed that the club will see to build a new stadium with a vastly increased capacity in order to capitalize on the depth of local support enjoyed by the country’s highest-placed provincial outfit.

After winning promotion in January of last year, Waterford consolidated their place in the top flight with a highly respectable sixth-place finish in November.

Its all very well to have aplan or aspiration on paper but realistically what chance has this got?

I find it hard to ye seriously after that Co-op thing a while back which reportedly blew £800k in 18 months.

The rent a crowd suggestion is a bit harsh.

The Blues don't have the money to rent one.
The attendances are good but should be better for a team in second place in the League which must be disappointing.

Back in the First Division in 1996/97 under Tommy Lynch's management, they made the semi-finals of the Cup and from what we were told at the time, their average crowds were a little more than they appear to be getting now.

Mind you in fairness, the seats opposite the main stand are gone from what I am told and that is a blow to the potential attendances , but also UEFA Licencing in the Longer term.

Blues would be my favourite Premier EL Club this season for what it is worth!
