Ah, so you're one of these people who doesn't know what they're talking about.
Would explain why you couldn't be bothered to go into town to watch Rovers if you really wanted to. Probably feels wrong walking further than your local to see a football match.
May I ask why you'd see Shamrock as a football club and not as a weed? It seems a similarly silly comparison.

Well Kilbarry is the Tramore Road side where the old City Dump used to be.
I used WIT because I couldn't think of the name of that housing development between the Cork Road and the Campus building . And I am a frequent visitor Suirside especially during the summer. Waterford is one of my favourite places in Ireland.
I think what I should have said is that Kilbarry kind of takes in the whole area around the ground, except at the city end, if I have it right. There are places beyond the WIT end of the ground that still have their address as Kilbarry. As you know the area a bit though, I'd say those pics were taken from the green beside an estate on the hill behind the glass factory, and a bit towards the city centre, if that's any help.
Your last sentence marks you out as a man of discernment and taste, by the way. :)

I see UCD as more of college than a club. Personally i dont think they should even be in the league. I think Rovers on the other hand are a sleeping giant.
Youre dead right what have UCD ever done for football eh?:rolleyes:

Well thank you kind sir. Also the Blaa is the best bread related product ever invented in Ireland :D
P.S. I was also at the first competitive game played at the RSC back in 1993. It was a First Division Shield Southern Section group game between Waterford United and UCD.

Cobh have recently installed seats at St Colmans Park but will it be up to the requirements for the Premier League?
Also, will Finn Park qualify for a Premier licence?

I think you need 1,500 seats for the Premier.
They'd be pretty close to it. They now have Seats behind one goal and all down one side.

I think they will because they have a new stadia in the pipeline. Same situation as Drogheda.
How many seats are there in Cobh.?

In all fairness I thought the attendence of 11,000 was fairly decent considering nearly the entire ground is uncovered... Most neutrals didnt go simply because of the terrible weather

That's what I thought too. The weather wasn't actually as bad as the forecast for Sunday(Heavy rain).
Any neutral looking at the forecast would have made other plans.

Stand looks good, even if the shape is a bit peculiar. Suppose space was pretty tight.
Great that'll be ready in plenty of time for the new season.
It is sad that the RDS considered good facilities in this country. Got to wonder how share the temporary stands really are. Floodlights & pitch decent quality but PA would be a problem in an emergency.
Sunday was very cold but actually a little lucky it did not rain much. :o

The terrace is nice and snug if you don't mind a bit of a gazebo blocking your view.

Have there been planning delays on Harps' stadium or something? It seems to have taken an awful long time to get not very far.

It was complicated due to ground transfers, etc. Solicitors had to make sure contracts were 100% before everything was signed. Its a matter of sorting the tax man now and the diggers will be starting. Mr.T is prob the best man to explain.

No planning delays, just that this is a quite incredibly complex deal with a lot of parties involved. There's FHFC, the Trustees, the county council, various landowners, the developer, the FAI and the department of sport and tourism. The part about actually getting the contracts agreed involved several sets of solicitors and took a long time- but appears to be sorted.
I can't be bothered to go into detail, but the thing about this deal (if my understanding is correct) is that once the contract is formally signed the stadium is as good as built. The developer doesn't get their hands on the prize (Finn Park) until the new stadium and other works are 100% finished and signed off on. So it's in the developers interest to get it done.

What he said more or less.
Full Planning Permission granted almost three years ago, progressing tenders, land deals, department funding and contracts for construction and land transfer since. Nearly, nearly there now. :cool:

Looks great, congratulations to those involved. A modern stadium & facilities will help football become a real family day out. I've seen the plans for the Youths Complex and that is what we are aiming for too.

Havent a clue but id say Drogheda's will no doubt :)

There's only a few bits to be cleared up before work can begin such as the Trustees sorting out their tax status to avoid incurring capital gains tax or something like that and also final approval from the department of sport and tourism. Work may begin before the new season depending on how fast things are sorted. The great thing about the deal in place is that the developer has to deliver the entire stadium and surrounding works before they get the existing Finn Park- so once diggers are on site there is relatively low risk that things can go wrong.
