Next team to blow up?

[Bald Student]

Your wrong again, as usual.
The future of Shels is very much in the hands of Shels at the moment.

Santry by accident??
No it wasnt, It wasnt the top choice but you cant have everything you wish for.

If it was that easy to end up in a ground by accident you wouldnt still be homeless after all these years.Touché

And a moment of clairty ensues all....

Does this mean that Shels can count him as a celebrity on the other thread? Irish name and all.
All so clear....:D

I'm not taking the **** here, so please no knee jerk defensive reactions.

I seem to remember, maybe incorrectly, that Rovers were informed that Morton was not good enough to get an A license when they were considering moving there for a short term. Has it been massively improved. Not small improvements but something significant. If not how will Shells hope to get a license there.

[bohs til i die]

how will Shells hope to get a license there.


the same way every other league team gets one, by lying to the licence committee, producing false accounts and very imaginative budgets

According to the above link only a bit of work was required but shamrock rovers played their 2005 season in Dalymount (i think shamrock rover lads?) and this season in Tolka so Morton must not be up to standard if they were originally hoping to play there or was there was some issue between them and Fingal County Council about getting it up to standard?.

But over 500,000e has been spent on Morton stadium since 1998 so surely it can't be too far of the required standards?

500k in 8 years is feck all. Think about any decent facility you'd need to spend at least 60% of that to stand still, Its still a kip

dublin city held a b licence in morton so as long as shels give an undertaken up get it to A licence standard with approval from fingal c.c. they will be allowed play there domestic games there.

I agree with you

Going from thishttp://http://www.ifgrounds.com/shelbourne.html

To this:

Morton is a 'bit' of a step down and alot of work is needed but still should be in good enough condition for Eircom league football

So would that also mean that any european games would have to be played at an alternative venue like what Drogheda are doing at the moment?

Where in Dublin is Morton? Google search throws up nothing for "Dublin map Morton."

Santry. Heading out towards the airport. Only two or three miles away from Tolka, in fairness.

Cheers, think I may have actually played there a few months ago, or on sports grounds nearby anyway.

You may have played in ALSAA, which is also surrounded by running track. At least Morton a stand on one side of the ground and has terraccing on the opposite side of the ground.
