What's the craic with Cobh's stand?:confused:
Heard something about it being built too high. Couple of feet above the planning permission...
There seems to be an issue with the Welsh contractors. Not sure what about?
Hopefully it will be sorted soon. Very, very, very slow in going up.
Can't see that the stand being 2 feet too high is going to make a difference as it is on the south side of the pitch and is only next to a road. No views being affected or sunlight issues!

Excellent news.
It'll be great to see Jackman Park develop into a top class facility for both Junior and senior football in Limerick.

Great news. Jackmann Park is better located in Limerick that Rathbane (Hogan Park) or Pike Rovers ground.

A new big red iron building has been erected in the showgrounds in place of where the Shed was. I am not sure what it is for but a tv camera was pionting out the window during the game. Bad position for a TV gantry isn't it?
Its an awful eye soar as well.
Latest pictures from Terryland are here http://www.galwayunitedfc.ie/menu-items/photo-gallery.html

was just on yer website and looked at jackman. it is as i remembered, and from the second image:
http://www.limerick37fc.ie/gpage2.html
it's hard to see where the redevelopment will be? as both the stand side and the one opposite are in limited space - stand side by houses and gardens and other side by railway station & train lines.
do you know at which end the new stand will be?

Where did Galway get the seats for the new stand?
Methinks they're second-hand.
I remember City got the seats for the St.Annes off Stoke City i think it was.

we got our seats for our old stand off stoke too.
afaik both stands are getting new seats this time around as old stand seating is being removed too.
apparantely both stands will have maroon seats when finished - can't think where they will get second hand maroon seats.

I don't know if its been mentioned here but the Changing Rooms in the new Shed Stand at Turners Cross were used for the first time on Saturday. It means any players getting sent off (like Saturday) will have to walk under the shed crowd :)

Oooohhhh any players getting sent off will have to walk under the 'shed crowd'. Bet the pee will be dribbling down their leg. "Welcome to Hell". Actually come to think of it..... :rolleyes:

Interesting.
You've only seen fit to actually post 3 times in the last 2-and-a-bit months... twice in unfunny wind up attempts toward city fans.
http://foot.ie/search.php?do=finduser&u=2983
in fact, nearly half (10/24) of your posts since september 2006 have been about cork, cork city f.c. or their fans - all disparaging, save one crocodile compliment toward the M.F.A. The rest almost exclusively pertained either to Limerick 37 or to the last club you supported.
Well, thats my curiosity sated.

Following top-secret deep under-cover investigation Jessica Fletcher identifies Limerick fan with not a whole lot of love for cork city.
Fletcher claims enlightenment following the investigation.
Bravo.

This is, for me, the most important and interesting thread on the board. It's to do with individual clubs' stadium development and that's it.
An excellent resource.

yeah i'm with you here too.
many other threads are used for bickering between 'rival' supporters. this one is always interesting and USUALLY only deals with fact.
don't get it closed for the sake of some silly points scoring against others.

As far as I know the same contractors that did the Shed stand are lined up to put the roof on St Anne's end.
Don't know about when. Hopefully have it done for the start of the 2008 season.

Its seems that many of the EL league teams are carrying out work or are planning to carry out work to improve their grounds, which is great to see!
I take it the majority of the money for these improvements is coming from public bodies i.e Government/local councils etc?

Most funding for capital work at grounds would be from:
-Lottery funding
-Dept of Sport grants
-FAI grants

AFAIK the Cork City friendly with Sunderland is an MFA venture to raise funds for Turners X development.
Presumably to pay for the Shed stand and/or St Anne roof.

The Sunderland friendly is to knock the existing outer wall and turn styles at the "shed"/curragh road/east end and replace them with some thing nice and modern.
heres hoping for red brick.
a grant has already been recieved by the MFA for construction of a roof over the st. anns end, but planning permission ends rather soon for my liking. i do wish they'd start immediately, even at the sake of closing the st.anns end for the foreseeable future. it might cost us in terms of a couple of big matches but it is not needed at the moment.
of course, the MFA has sold St. Anns End tickets for the Sunderland game at the end of this month so they wont be doing it before then. I hope that this is the only thing delaying the start of construction.

must admit it is a dead ringer for pearse stadium's main stand!
i think the similarity is down to the colours though as the stand is top notch
