I've put the capacity of Flancare as 6,700 all seated - a reasonable guestimate. (i think the figure is 6685 or 6785 something like that)

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
Thanks, I've put that in as 1400 & 3500

Where are the 1,500 going to stand?! At either end of the new stand and behind the goals?

Sounds very optimistic without terracing.

There is actually room in front of the new stand as well.front row of seats is over head high .

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

The only way upstairs can be reached is from a walkway (wheelway? :o ) from the same level as the wheelchair section of the stand.

the areas for standing will be pretty much un-affected. there has been hoarding on the city side of the ground for a few years now. the new stand is set back behind this and there will be a small terrace in front of the stand which is elevated a few feet. terrace areas behind both goals will be unchanged.

i don't know if they are putting a concrete terrace each side of the stand but i think they definately should.

Dundalk have 1,200 seats, rest of ground reduced since last time due to new terracing and also dressing rooms and new car park being bulit behind one goal, so would say terracing 8,800 for no other reason than 10,000 would be have to be the max these days.

Plan is to eventually seat all of the new terracing facing the stand, not sure when, but that will further reduce capacity

Think the number of seats in our stand is 2038.

Standing round the ground you would fit maybe 3000 more but we are only cleared for 2000 standing from what I heard.

So 4038 but will be a 6000 all seater in a few years all going well

Knock 2000 off that and you have it.

Making good progress on that stand. Hopefully it'll be ready for the UEFA Cup games.

Thought Shels can't sell the lease on Tolks unless they purchase (not rent/ground share) a ground of their own?

No, the plan was for a 7,500 seater, but they never finished the last corner (left of the main stand, if you are looking from 'section O'. I did try to count the seats there before & it was around 6,700

I was slightly disappointed by that link, I had eh, different, expectations...

On a lighter note, the foundations look like it goes back a fair bit. How big will this stand be and how many will it hold? will it be like the current main stand?

kdjaC

02/06/2007, 10:26 PM

Sorry 15 metres high :o

The base is permanent but the incline quoted for temp seating makes it oddly high.

A german company will be installing seating on that piece of concrete in the next week that can hold hold 1800 people.

90 metres length x 190 people per row makes it a damn odd looking stand, lets hope it doesnt rain :d

Alleged to hold 1800 temp seats which to me makes it higher than the main stand by 15 metres to the highest seat :confused:

Corks new shed holds about that afaik (could be wrong) so it would be similiar to that but its a rush job to get temp seating for uefa games, when its completed properly ie never it should hold 2000.

Wouldn't ye be better off renting for UEFA games this year and doing a proper job first time on the seating for the stand:confused:

Unless money really is no object for ye these days;)

The first row of seats in the stand is approx 8 feet above those standing in front (similar to the new stand in Tolka).

There is a fine view across the ground, and the Corrib to the left.

Risteard

Was down in St. Colmans while ago and the pitch looks to have a few slopes in it.
Have they expanded the pitch towards the side with the dugouts?

MojoPin

07/06/2007, 5:29 AM

ya by quite a bit. they made the pitch longer towards the bar too.

Risteard

07/06/2007, 10:18 AM

Ya, to be fair, there was quite a bit of work going on there.
I'd imagine capacity will be very low atm.
It looks like the new stand will be very steep to get as many in as possible.
Loads of room for a stand at the clubhouse end though if its required.
It'll end up being a small, but intimate ground.
Looking forward to the Dundalk match.

Looks well lads, how much is it costing and it doesnt go the length of the pitch does it? Couple of these might do the trick in the Jacks.

Looks like plenty of room alright, especially when you consider that the minimum head height they have looks to be 6'9" (estimating the height of the wall on the left)

Aye your new stand looks to be shaping up quite well. I saw the frame of it about a month ago when I was going over the bridge on my way back home to Belfast and I thought I would check up on its progress!

Will the ends be covered or will those fans sitting at the edges of the stand be exposed to the elements which in Galway are normally awful in my experience:mad:

i presume you mean the wall on the right??? looking at it, its only five blocks up till the gerder's run into the wall so thats hardly standing room. i can only presume the silver beams that run down the length of that pic a few feet out are where the dressing room walls will be built, i.e. where theres standing height, meaning there gonna be long narrowish dressing rooms... best of luck with it btw
