[DmanDmythDledge]

Where did the UCD figures come from? We have 1,450 seats and a bit more than 1,000 terrace.

[CuanaD]

From wikipedia and official sites:


Terrace Seats Capacity
LTFC 6000 ? 6000



I see they have Longford listed as terrace - 6,700-ish SEATS there anyway:rolleyes:

Bohs also have far more than 3,000 seats now

[CuanaD]

Can anyone confirm/dispute the other seat figures?


Even with just the few we have noticed (Bohs, UCD, Longford & the new Galway) these add over 13,000 to the seated capacity of the league - bringing it up near the 56,k mark - or, to put it another way - an increase of 148% OVER the 1996 levels.

Sounds good, doesn't it?









I think we have passed the 'we're not there, but we are getting there'
& moved on to
'a lot done, more to do':D

[Grayzer]

Terrace Seats Capacity
Rovers 0 0 0


:D :D :D

[Mr A]

Yeah, for the 99/2000 season the seated cap. was down to 400; now its 250?

Where have all the seats gone?:eek:

They were stolen be leprechauns.

Actually that part of the stand has a dodgy roof or something and the licensing bods made Harps close it, and with our move imminent it makes no sense to spend big money on refurbishment. The current seats are entirely different, being effectively a temporary stand erected inside the main stand.

[Dodge]

tolka also holds a good deal less than advertised. Bohs have no terrace (people aren't allowed stand at the side). I think the official Pats safe holding capacity is 5,400. No way can Derry hold 5,000 in the terrace either. UEFA licensing has effectively shown some of these figures up as shams...

[GavinZac]

good ahead and fix them on wikipedia then, or in the case of the clubs with question marks, have them put SOMETHING on their official site about it rather than leaving it as guess work. my little whistle stop tour of el websites drove me a bit mad to be honest, half of the sites look like they're done by 10 year olds or have been dragged out of 1997 kicking and screaming

[charliesboots]

Pats actually have 1823 seats at the minute not including directors box or press areas. Soon to be more of course.

[BohsFans]

tolka also holds a good deal less than advertised. Bohs have no terrace (people aren't allowed stand at the side).

:rolleyes:

yeah we do, at the back of the school end!

[Dodge]

Is that counted in the safe holding capacity? Jesus...

[paudie]

Dundalk also opened a new building on the terracing next to the stand at the start of the season, gents and maybe a first for the eircom lge, ladies toliets ! !

The main stand in Turners Cross has had ladies toilets since it was built 5 or 6 years ago.

[DmanDmythDledge]

maybe a first for the eircom lge, ladies toliets !
Drogheda had a transvestite portaloo if that counts...

[paudie]

Probably not but if the other options are renting out Tolka or Dalymount and half filling them, I'd go with Richmond

Have Pats decided where they're going to play their home games?

I presume UEFA have a deadline by which you have to name a ground.

[Celdrog]

Drogheda had a transvestite portaloo if that counts...
The voice of experience??:eek:

[DmanDmythDledge]

The voice of experience??:eek:
No no, had mens written on it and had the symbol for women.:D

[monkey magic]

Terrace Seats Capacity

LTFC 6000 ? 6000



:rolleyes: if you'd actually looked at wikipedia, under flancare park you'd see that the capacity, stated capacity at least is 4,500 all seater, theres no terracing and only room for a couple of sdtanding patrons

[Dodge]

We've nominated Richmond

[pete]

I remember that sticker.

[Celdrog]

We've nominated Richmond
Does that mean your capacity is limited to 1800, or will there be extra seats before July?

[charliesboots]

The intention is to have the new stand at the Inchicore end built prior to the UEFA games and have temp seating on the camac side. Should be about 3,500 seats if it comes off.

[Dodge]

The new stand will be in place by then

[pete]

REDEVELOPMENT OF RICHMOND PARK COMMENCES
The development of a new all-seater stand at the Inchicore end of the ground has commenced this week.

Top soil is being removed from the ‘hill’...

I think Pats are just raising some extra funds for the transfer window by selling the top soil. :p

[Magicme]

Mons clubhouse has had womens toilets since it opened many moons ago. So Oriel, Dundalk are only first in the fake pitch department.

[GavinZac]

:rolleyes: if you'd actually looked at wikipedia, under flancare park you'd see that the capacity, stated capacity at least is 4,500 all seater, theres no terracing and only room for a couple of sdtanding patrons

the "longford town" entry lists 6000 with no explanation, the "flancare park" lists 4500 with no detail except at the end of a blurb and your official site says nothing but how to get there and the stadium rules. my apologies for missing 1 sentence on one of ~30 websites/articles i had to go on to get those figures. :rolleyes: i've been to your cold arse-of-nowhere 'stadium' and i know there are seats, i didnt know how many, hence the question mark rather than a zero. if you had issue with something all you had to so was correct it rather strolling in on a white horse, high-and-mighty about your soon-to-be pride of the first division white elephant stadium.

to put it in as 6000 capacity no seater is just a wind up and you know it. you've just said you've been there ffs :rolleyes:

[bohs til i die]

Dalymount has 7,935 seats

[oriel]

Eh wouldn`t EVERY clubhouse or bar not have ladies and gents toliets.

I meant new ladies toilets built specifically for a terracing part of a ground. May not be first, but good news in this area all the same

Re your 'first' comment, if you want a nice 'first' try the first irish team to win an european match away from home, that was in the mid 196o's by the way.

[pineapple stu]

Where did the UCD figures come from? We have 1,450 seats and a bit more than 1,000 terrace.
We had 848 seats up to the end of last season. The new Cascarino Stand is about 600 seats, so isn't included in those figures.

We have 1052 standing officially (based on an official capacity of 1900 last year) - there was obviously a "0" left out of the figures.

Even Finn Park has ladies toilets for supporters for a long time now

[oriel]

pats fans - thought richmond looked great last night - thats a real improvement in the shed end, esp the terracing in the corner - seems a popular place for fans to go now

Whats that big white object in the corner ?

Also good to see the awful cliff demolised on the other end, whats going in there, a new stand ?

[bigmac]

Even Finn Park has ladies toilets for supporters for a long time now

The RSC even has a ladies' dressing room!!

We put the away team in there :D

[Magicme]

Ha ha. Athlone have a female ref dressing room. Bet Hilda loves it, sure as hell beats her having to trek through the bar in Oriel a few times before a game.

[Jerry The Saint]

Our multi-storey toilets, DEFINITELY a first for the league. So everyone else can stop boasting about how advanced their club is for having lady jacks.

(The disabled toilets are on the top floor, BTW:) )

New temp stand replacing the hill to be in place for UEFA all going well.

The non-Shed part of the Shed is a great place to watch the game, really surprised as I couldn't see it happening.

[Pád Von Tirpitz]

New temp stand replacing the hill to be in place for UEFA all going well.


Any concrete plans to build a permanent stand there anytime soon?

[bohsmug]

What will the temporary stand look like (roughly). Will it be the same as the Bray one?

[Pablo]

AFAIK Temp structures are not allowed under UEFA rules???????

[bohsmug]

That's what I thought.
Which is why building a temporary stand for the UEFA cup has got me awful confused. Maybe they allow 20 year structure type buildings or something? Do any Pats fans know a little more about this?

[OneRedArmy]

They don't allow scaffolding or unsecured type structures (after the Corsica disaster).

As long as the seats are attached its fine.

I suspect its referred to as a temporary stand is because it will be razed when the whole ground is re-developed by the megabucks property developer.

[Dodge]

Its a strange one, but the foundations, etc will be permanent. It could be apermanent stand but its the quickest way of getting an acceptable stand up, and the new permanent one will be done when planning etc is ready (of that makes sense)

We have planning permission as it is, but we could't build what we wanted to build in 6 weeks. So this is the compromise

[oriel]

Thats good news about pats - def looks great on the tv - ok you won the jacks argument there !

magicme - agree 100% - disgusting that the lineswoman hilda and co have to walk thru a bar to use the toilets. scandalous sitaution - i have been asking questions about for this for ages - the new dressing rooms next year should sort it - but thats next season. there is 3/4 of this season to go

[atfconline]

Hilda has her very own dressing room in Athlone!

[Magicme]

Hilda has her very own dressing room in Athlone!

I already bigged u up for that atfconline!

In fairness Oriel, it is good to see that DUFC are looking after the females at the games now. Glad to see any improvements in a eL ground.

Any link (youtube etc) so I can see this new multi-story section?

Good view of it in this clip (good goal too :ball: ).

http://www.stpatsfc.com/watch_video.php?id=63

It's the big monolothic white structure directly behind the goalposts in the side camera view. As I said, the wheelchair accessible toilets are on the top floor.:)

Thanks Gerry, I presume it's that big white structure left of the main stand. So why 2-storey? - how is the upstairs accessed?




Also:
i'm still trying to update the details on stadium sizes. can anyone confirm the (standing & seated) capacities of the following:
Bray Wanders
Cork City
Derry City
Dundalk
Sligo Rovers
Athlone Town
Cobh Ramblers
Drogheda Utd.
Galway Utd.
Kilkenny City
Limerick 37
Monaghan Utd
Waterford Utd.

so I can compare the figures i have from 96/97 & 99/00
Thanks

[GavinZac]

to put it in as 6000 capacity no seater is just a wind up and you know it. you've just said you've been there ffs :rolleyes:

as i said, i put in a question mark not a bloody zero. more importantly, why would i attempt wind up an absolute nothing club?

[don ramo]

cobh ramblers will be 1400 seats in a few weeks, when we complete the stand, the rest of the ground would hold id say 3000-4000 if not more, unsure as its a big terrace thats there, so around 5000-6000 total
