Is the newly planned stand in Tallaght going to be the same structure as the existing one?

Rovers are copying the new stand in Terryland, according to one of the newspapers last week. (I think it was the Indo)

Nice stand.
But when i was up there i couldn't help thinking they were losing out on sets by having it so high up also the roof is like the curragh road stand down here way too high.For atmosphere yer stand across the way seems a lot better.

I get to most away game where there is a bus running and this year finishing up school so will get to even more games.
For me there is only one trip to Rovers because ill be away for the 2nd game.
Exactly after the fiasco with Waterford in the cup 2 years ago and he draw fixing scandal.A well i still got there:D

If we were to play in any other stadium for our European games, it would most likely be in Longford, I believe.
not galway?
is longford closer to sligo than galway?
that part of the country is just a blur to me!

That'd be OK - travelled to Flancare for Longford's euro games - its a handy trip, less that 2 hours from Dubland - would love to see Sligo in Europe, but can't afford the time for a night away.

Sorry MR.MY POSTS ARE GREAT I AM SMARTER THAN THIS WHOLE FORUM :rolleyes:.
A lot of people are not willing to commit so a season ticket as they want to see where the club are at in 6 month's time.I have mine though.Also a former "club official" if you want to call him/her that was telling people not to buy season ticket's.If you think we will have 800 season ticket holders again this year you're only kidding yourself;)

READ MY POSTS
I did not say we have 800 or that we would have 800, in fact, I said sales are down!
we did have 330ish by christmas - and sales have been going well in the last week or two
we should hit 500 if we havent done so as of yet but 800 will probably be a stretch too far
serioulsy though
read and then think before you post

Moderation: Post intending to provoke rather than offer a meaningful contribution
corkboy360, you need to monitor your attitude and behaviour. Dont look to exacerbate or aggravate situations. You need to take the initiative in this yourself. Stop taking things so personally and attacking other posters.

Tallaght looks great, except for those god awful seats. Who's idea was that and why?? It cheapens the look of the stadium. Any name for the ground, apart from Tallaght Stadium?

All four floodlight pylons were installed at Tallaght yesterday and I have to say I think these are the biggest pylons I've ever seen at a stadium. They completely tower above the stadium and look very very impressive. Testing to commence on the lights later this week. The stadium will be some sight with these babies switched on.

They are ridiculously huge. I'd imagine they should be visible from space.
I'm not going to bother investing in the outside light I needed for the garden, when those lights are on it should be bright as day around my place. :D

If they point them in the direction of Wexford then Limerick will have nothing to
complain about! ;)

It is called advertising to the locals. The shiny light will draw in the masses. Everyone in Tallaght will know when "their club" is playing. It will psychologically impose itself on the local population. Everytime they see the big light in the sky every estate in Tallaght will think of Rovers. This is why the GAA tried so hard to kill off Rovers in Tallaght as they knew how powerful this kind of thing is.
Brilliant move on Rovers part. I think Rovers will get huge crowds. Was talking to people out there with no interest in LOI and they are literally salivating to get in and support Rovers. The club are set forever really. As a Bohs fan I should not be saying this, but everyone in the League should be wishing Rovers well in Tallaght as this is the future for all of us. If Rovers in Tallaght takes off big time the rest of the league will gain.

Maybe the pictures are deceiving but they look the same height as ours (which were dropped 5m from the original height because of a neighbour). Anyone seen both to compare

Seem the same height as ours as well but there are more rows of lights. If it is Musco Lighting they would have a standard height to match the lux of the bulbs.
Someone can correct me here if I am worng but I believe Musco rate the lux 1 metre from ground level while licensing measures the lux at ground level.

Best time to see how Tallaght Stadium looks is when a match is on. The stand will be full so you won't be able to see the seats.
Check it out on RTE on the 13th!

Only seen the Tallaght ones by car but very, very similar

I've seen both up close and I'd be fairly sure the ones in Tallaght are higher, maybe by those 5 metres that Youths had to drop them down. They are similar though.

Hopefully, they're not the same ones. De Rovers did bring (some) skangers with them last Saturday. Maybe they loaded the Hiace:p

i agree with you but i think they could possibly go on to pull away from everyone else in the long therm and it could become a 1 club league. like currently cork city are the biggest club in the league/island:D but i think rovers will overtake us this year especially with there huge season ticket sales so far.

Nothing happens next. If the FAI let Drogheda in the premier with a pitch that does not meet regulations they can hardly stop Dundalk.
Although it would be somewhat humourous.

I see you've moved on from the knife fighting monkeys.
As usual, there's no sign of the ISPCA.

Just on the pitch inspection : all the tests have to analysed. No official results have been given but club do not anticipate any problems.
