    Feature on RTÉ Radio 1

    Did anyone hear Brian de Salvo's feature on RTÉ last Friday. I didn't hear it myself, but I was told that the general gist of it was about the move to the Bowl.

    While off the Bray forum for once, have to say as one who went to College and played 14 seasons with Pegasus (and one for UCD freshers) that whats happening to Belfield Park is Corporate vandalism. Great setting, great pitch, went to/played in many great games. Is the Bowl still a swamp?

      I went down to gawk at it a couple of times and it looks nice. The stand is quite aesthetically pleasing (it has blue seats!) compared to the one in Belfield Park. It has a score board too. The pitch looks good from afar in that it has no obvious lumps out it and seems neatly green all over.

      Unfortunately Belfield Park is in the feck @rse of nowhere and many students aren't aware of the existence of that part of the campus at all. They'll know where the Bowl is.

        That's coz they're all rugger heads that couldn't care less about footy. The'll all be in the sportsbar for the matches watching Leinster on Setanta. "Collars up; roish".

          I'm sorry Collie but I'm the bearer of bad news. The Sports Bar passed away last summer, it is succeded by a yoga room and a trendy café.

            Better & better! From the home of the team that almost downed Everton at their height and spiritual home of Kevin Moran.... to sharing with jolly hockeysticks and a bunch of Ross O'Carroll Kellies (and yoga/cafe for relaxation). God help domestic football!

                When you look towards Belfield Park all you see is a whole load of trees blocking what you can see of the stadium.

                  Then don't walk across our field, it's just been re-seeded. There's a path that goes around it.

                      Sorry if I can across a bit strong.
                      If you walk across a field you can't then complain if it was muddy when there's a non muddy route available. There was a choice for you and you chose the muddy route.
