Completely untrue. The rugby team have been playing there for years with no talk of the ground being developed. The Bowl's development is solely down to us moving there because it wouldn't meet UEFA licencing as it stands. It's perfectly adequate for AIL rugby games so there'd be no need for development for the rugby team.
obviously if you represent the same organisation and you want to enhance their facilities at the cost of a game every two weeks, they're hardly gonna say no are they?
It maybe down to youse for bringing about the development, but TWO teams are using the facilities and that's what the minister wants!

Another ignorant reply! The minister wrote to the clubs roughly 2/3 YEARS ago. Well before us or shels or Pats thought about moving out of our homes.
:rolleyes:
Shels had already sold out back then. BFC had sold, or agreed to sell a chunk of Dalymount and were planning to sell more. There were other issues as well. All discussed here and on the relevant clubs' forums at the time, with the exception of Shelsweb, naturally.

Wrong again! :rolleyes:
It was this decision that forced the clubs hands!
It is true that Bohs had conducted a land sale in return for the building of a stand at the Tramway end.

...and money. The stand was miniscule in comparison to the land swap.
Nobody forced OB's hand. He was borrowing money from day one at Shelbourne and the only collateral he ever had was the lease on Tolka. You don't run up debts of E12-15m in 2/3 years!

Is the back of the stand going to be filled in? The wind will blow right through it if not.
Surely, would be crazy otherwise.
Incidentally, construction will move straight from the Shed End to the other end being roofed but hopefully it won't affect capacity.

That if the grant money comes through in March, should be ok obviously but it is still pending on that.

you said it would be terraced at one end so that means only three stands, i know it has four, it called sarcasm.

I said I THINK, never said it was definite.
Also a terrace/standing area doesn't have to take up a whole end of the ground. It can be housed in a 'stand'.
Your argument has really been shot to pieces hasn't it?

This picture (http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p148/xtreme_rebel/shedend_echo.jpg) was taken today and you can see the new stand in the background. With the open day on Saturday, I'm sure there'll be plenty more pictures knocking around...

Looks impressive.

just curious how come the same jersey have 2 different sponsors in the photo ???
...stupid not opening it til its fully finished.
Builders rubble & loads of junk behind the stand. Its called health & safety which is why lighting & PA being improve.
In my biased opinion the best league ground & by end of season will be some distance ahead of next best.

Evening Echo will sponsor the underage teams.
Don't think so Francis. The place will still be practically a building site at the back.:(
April i think.

dont really care this argument is goin on a few days i colunt give a t**, no point aksing you questions anymore, cause you notin of whats happenin at your club:mad:
its goin ahead but you dont know what it is, at least i know whats happenin here for the next 2-3 years, off the pitch:eek:
it also looks like there is no safety barriers on the sides of the stand and to the back, also there is no wall in the front, so Im guessing there is some work still to do from the H&S side of stuff francis

true, but would it not make sense to get all the stuff on the pitch side of the stand done in the next three weeks and have it open for the new season, sure terrylands new stand is going to be built in two phases, first the structure and seats n stuff then the underneat. theres no reason cork's stand cant be tranformed from a "building site" in the time they have.
and yes pete, i agree it will be the best stadium in the country when its complete. any body got the official capacity of all the stadiums, seated and terraced? might make for interesting reading.
and A Face are you going to continue with ifgrounds?

The entire stand must be finished before it's open to the public, which makes sense. We don't want to push the insurance premium.
Also, one would have to presume that advertising will be installed in front of the stand so there's still quite a bit of finishing to do.

You enter the stand through various points from the back.
Look at the picture and see where the seats are missing.
It's sensible to do things right.

Yeah, working on version two right now. The present one is very hard to keep up to date so i'm trying to get v2 up and running.

As long as the new stand is open for our first big home game on the 13th of April, I'll be happy. No need to have it open before then as the travelling support will be insignificant.
Until the shed stand is completed the only access to Turners Cross is likely to be from the far side. Trying to open the stand to spectators too soon might delay completion & may not be able to start roofing the far end in time.

I dunno about that pete. The place was in worse shape throughout last season and the away fans and season ticket holders were left in at that end.

I thought it was supposed to be finished now. How did yet get a licence?I don't think it was ever supposed to be ready for the start of the season, most of the work would have to wait until after the rugby season is over I'd imagine. We got a licence the same way Drogheda did, for future plans.

We've installed 600 new seats in Belfield Park in place of the old off limits stand behind the goal. It's still uncovered and it's temporary but we were ordered to do so to be allowed to play there this season.

We were ordered to remove our temporary ones a few years ago for the same reason , to stay in the league afaik it was the first year of the license and we were told that they would not be tolerated

They're high quality temporary, if that makes sense. The seats are of far better quality that the permenant ones. I think it's the exact same as the temporary stands for the League Cup final in 2005 against Derry. Might provide an unimpeded view on a nice summer's day.

They still have their seat numbers on them.

Who forced ye to do that? They'll never be used anyway...

Who forced ye to do that? They'll never be used anyway...I agree but there are also people who believe that improving support in the league is all about 'facilities, facilities, facilities' and that a few hundred more empty seats in Belfield will bring in the punters.
Poor Student
04/03/2007, 12:50 PM
Was there any mention of the seats being moved to the Bowl next year?
I agree but there are also people who believe that improving support in the league is all about 'facilities, facilities, facilities' and that a few hundred more empty seats in Belfield will bring in the punters.
I might better facilities as opposed to bigger facilities. Then again if you think you can fill the existing covered temporary seats & people will come to Belfield to sit in uncovered temporary seats...
