Ambitous stuff.
A suggestion would be to put a few seats on the terrace that is made into the side of the coaching centre.
I think this it is part of the plans to install seating, this image is only a first draft which focuses on the training centre behind.

As i missed the relevant thread congrat to Drogs on winning the league. By far the top team in the league (says he stating the obvious).
Will ye be able to play at United PArk next season. Thought I read somewhere this would be the last season it would get a licence.

They should be treated the same as all other clubs obviously.
Don't think they should be relegated but they may have to use a suitable ground like Rovers have had to do if United park isn't up to scratch anymore.
Was interesting that the chairman Vincent Hoey pleaded for support in getting the stadium development through when on RTE six one news on Friday.

In their worst case scenario they could always rent Oriel or Dalymount.

Here's the latest on Wexford Youths, the whole club could go belly-up if planners don't change their tune. Mick Wallace is certainly not a happy man. Here's a little bit of what he has to say and a link to the full story, it's about retention of works rather than anything to do with building a stand.
The decision of the Wexford County Council Planning Section to refuse permission for retention of alterations to Wexford Youths Football Club Ground is a major disappointment for a number of reasons.
The refusal is based on the notion that ‘floodlighting and external lighting of the facility is injurious to the amenities of the occupiers of the nearby residential dwellings’, ‘the position and use of the lighting, by virtue of the glare onto the National Primary Road (N11) is detrimental to traffic safety’ and the third item related to a technical matter regarding whether the proposed extra landscaping is on the site layout plan or not.

Its funny in that article when he says he has spent 4 million euro on the site and then a few lines later he says "despite rumours to the contrary, I am not worth a fortune". Hes some character and I really do hope that it works out for Wexford, I have been impressed with their ambition in thier first seaon. Do you think that this stand will be in place for next season?
I see on TV3 that the new stand at the RSC has started. Looks to be good progress already but it does not look like the full length of the pitch - hope i am wrong...

The archictect's drawing of the 1700 seater stand is up on the www.btid.net website under 'New Stand' thread. The stand does indeed run the lenght of the pitch, having seen the plans in City Council offices and last Saturday I visited the building site. The foundations and concrete base have been put in. The builders are starting off at the middle and working their way out. It is scheduled to be completed by end of January.

Looks good. I know TC suffers from it but I don't like the way older stands build 3/4 across the side of pitches. Bit strange for Builders to start in the middle but maybe it has to do with access. Depending on the next couple of weeks 1700 extra seats will make for great Munster derby or be empty for all next season...

Wallace is doing himself, and thereby the club, no favours at all here.
Firstly - if there's one sure way of fecking off Planners, it's by doing stuff without permission, and then going along to them afterwards wexpecting them to give you that retrospective approval as if the rules didn't exist. You instantly increase the chances of them saying 'no' - if only to teach you a lesson. It sounds like Wallace has an extremely cavailier attitude towards development. Maybe you can get away with it in Ireland at times, but he'd be fecked if he ever tried those antics in London, for example.
Secondly - he may be a half-decent businessman (though any fool could've made money in property development in Ireland over the last decade) but he is certainly not a smart or canny operator, nor a smart 'politician'. P!ssing off the planners by running rough-shod over the rules is one thing - shooting your mouth off about their perfectly valid stance and effectively insulting them is a whole different game. He's now even less likely to get what he wants for the site.
Given Wallace's antagonistic character, I can't help but think WYFC would be better served if they had someone else to wheel out as their public face for things like this (e.g. the CPO ?). Someone who can understand and work systems, build positive relationships, and who doesn't act like a cavalier riding a bull through a china shop.
I don't know will Limerick muster quite that many travelling fans :p
Thats why I said new stand could be empty next season depending on next few games.

United Park was rezoned last Monday , paving the way for the new stadium to go ahead , objections/observations have been withdrawn , and final planning approval is expected in 3-4 weeks. Football being played there at the start of 2009 season.

The rezoning of United Park to high-density residential is an absolute windfall , providing the finance for the new development , and a good bit left over.
The objections/observations for the new stadium have been withdrawn , following certain assurances from the developer regarding services ( water , sewerage etc.) and as said in an earlier post , final planning approval is expected early December. Finance is in place and the developer is ready to roll so 2009 season looks pretty good fot the first game.
Stadium will hold just over 10.000.
For those not familiar with the geography of the area , the "aerial" view would be taken from directly over the MI motorway , at the Drogheda South/Duleek interchange and the Car showrooms is Mc Cabes garage on the Duleek Rd out of Drogheda. That location is just under 20 mins from Dublin Airport.

Im not in a position to say monutdfc , but I do know that regardless of the slumpm in the property market , that place is now worth a hell of a lot more than it was last week.
Ignoring the obvious pitfalls Drogheda is probably a more attractive a place to live for Dublin commuters than many places due to train & motorway. How far would these homes be from the train station?
BigBadWolf Stadium must be the Drogs equivalent of Welcome to Hell :p
Has the GAA ground been rezoned too? Any suggestion both grounds would be redeveloped together?

The whole area around the stadium is quite close to the train station , there was in fact discussion about operating a park and ride service at the stadium weekdays to facilate commuters unable to get parking at the train station. The new link road being built in conjuction with the stadium will provide access to the nearby M1 motorway.
No move at all on the GAA grounds , initially it was thought that both sites would be offered to the HSE as a location for a new hospital , but as nothing was coming back from the HSE the Drogs proceeded on their own.

I was down in the RSC on Tuesday and work is progressing nicely on the New Stand. Builders have finished the left hand side of the stand and are putting in the joists and roof support. The crame has moved over to the right hand side and have extended the metal base frame. Concrete panels are being slotted into place. Looking good to be finished by the end of January.
The fit out for under the new stand in Terryland is due to commence very shortly so new dressing Rooms etc will all be ready for March.
