View Full Version : Any info on the Floodlights
what with march now almost here..and the interantional game looming at the X..was wondering it anything ahd been done at the cross, from the last update circa 2 weeks ago
oohh yea joe.. on your bike man, grab the dig camera
nice one boss :D
Thats the job! he got us some lovely ones of the seats at the X when they were being put in! good man Joe :D
if it's pics ye want, then pics ye shall have. i'll see what i can get in the next day or two
joseph you're a star..nice one boss
but irrespective of the pics...from the last match the $hels game what differences could ye see.. are they at the croos yet.. have the holes for them been dug yet ..anyone
current status:
4 light fixtures have been moved to the cross
3 poles remain lying on the ground and separated into sections in bishopstown - i assume the fourth one has made the journey to the cross
alot of electrical work seems to have been done at the cross, ie fresh conrete and tarmac is evident, where cables have presumably been laid.
not much else to report at the moment, will see what i can do
cheers joe.. i thought twas a simple enough Q to have only 1 reply neccassary but sure we got there in the end
:D

Your a star Joe.
the progress wouldnt inspire confidence though woud it................
it would appear that two of the pilons have been removed from Bishopstown, so anyone making the MSC semi-final against Cobh Wanderers on Sunday morning (11.00 am) at the Cross might be in for a surprise :)
What other board in the world gives you pics on demand eh??
Well Done!
Three pilons are not standing erect at the Cross as can be seen from the latest pics (http://www.joehurley.net/fl).
Good man Joe! Keeping us all up to dat!
are they gonna be 4 large pylons so? The exact B/Town ones?

Yep. A pylon in each corner, although the pylon by the old dressingrooms is nearer the Donie Forde Stand. Should look good for the U-21 game though.

Joe my man, meter off the grass, you will get a better, more balanced exposure.
Nice one for the snaps anyway, its good to see the X again :)

Would I be right in thinking that Joe is using a digital point and shoot. Metering isn't really a feature with the standard models.
The pictures show the progress at the cross and that's the main thing.

apologies to all the photographers out there
'point and click' stuff is all i'm cut out for with my digital camera :D
Is it just me or do those poles look much shorter than I remember them in Bishopstown?
:confused:
btw wheres the trademark through gap in fence shot Joe???
;)

they could well be a few feet shorter - it looked like there was the 'tops of the pilons' lying around. as to whether they'll be put up or not when the lights themselves go up ???

i had one obscure shot ready to go in alright, but i thought it would be taking things a bit far - especially with so many real (:D) photographers on here :p

Cork City will soon see evening kick-offs at Turners Cross as the venue is finally having it's floodlights installed and they will be used for the first time on March 26th.
However, it will not be the Leesiders who will have the honour of being the first side to see them operational as the FAI have nominated the ground for Don Givens' Republic of Ireland under 21's game against Denmark on Tuesday week with a 7:30 pm start.
Givens will hold a press conference in the Rochestown Park Hotel tomorrow, March 14th at 12 noon at which he will name his squad for the tie against the Danes.
This will be the first game for the Under 21's since the 3-0 win over Cyprus at Flancare Park, Longford last October.
Cork City and Colin P O'Brien will be hoping that the youngster will included in the sqiuad and more importantly represent his city and country in the game itself.
soccercentral.ie
So to get this one straight...
the floodlights are up and working???
Ok so the Denmark match is tuesday week....whens the U19 play off against Holland?

Well considering CP couldn't make the u-19 squad I'd say fairly unlikely he would make the u-21 squad. IMO hes not good enough for the u-21s anyway & he'll probably just be invited to "train" with the u-21s.

not yet - three of the poles are up, but they don't have the actual lights up yet. it even made the 6.01 news tonight!

At least we wont make the headlines for the wrong reasons again now....they cut that fine...

nonsense. The installation of the floodlights was done with the same magnificent foresight and forward planning as every other thing our wonderful board does :rolleyes:
Except the MFA did it. I think its an Irish/Cork thing. Efficiency aint our strong point!
