That would suggest the FAI are hanging onto it so yeah !?!
The sports complex developers were stopped in their tracks after the planning was refused, as a result of the residents objection but there was rumour of them still going ahead (not too sure what was happening there though) ... but if the FAI as maintaining it ?? ..... am i right in saying it'll be there for another few years ??
am i right in saying it'll be there for another few years ??If so like Turners Cross they'd really want to give it a bit of a facelift. Looks manky when you are passing it on the new road.
Time for City to have a look at moving back there!
Build a bar and clubhouse as a priority and start earning some money!

that actually might be a better option for Cork. the X might not pass the full UEFA licence so a move to Bishopstown to develop its own facilities, establish a bar etc. might what your club needs.

I definitely think its worth exploring. Bus and car links to it are way better now than they were, and there's decent parking out there too. Still a decent amount of room for expansion too.

AFAIK, the only reason we didn't pass the A License was because of paperwork, not the X. Personally, I don't see the sense in moving back there, our gates would lower due to incovenience for many.

with the proper infrastructure in place, the black ash park and ride, the number 8 and number 1. number 5 to a lesser extent, the ability to get out there from the city via the new ballincollig bypass in about 10-12 minutes.
i think it could never be ruled out.
iwouldnt mind if we moved out there. have to build it up a bit first though!
but would they.

I rekon we should wait untill we have 5000 season ticket holders or we can sell out EVERY league game the latter may not be too far away if we begin to dominate irish soccer.

The words 'dominate Irish soccer' and 'may not be too far away' should not be put in the same sentence :mad:
You will be waiting forever before Pat Dolan manages a team who dominates Irish soccer.
the latter may not be too far away if we begin to dominate irish soccer.

The words "Ollie Byrne" and "Secretary of a football club" should not be put in the same sentence either so don't worry about it......:p
