Bowl development

[CollegeTillIDie]

It'd be madness to charge anymore than €15 in. Even that's a bit steep.

It's the minimum charge you are permitted to charge Adults in the Premier Division

I was just on a work prawn sandwich ticket to see UCD v Terenure in the egg chasing in the Bowl. It'll take a while for me to feel that place as home. It's a different type of ground alright. Absolutely no space between the perimeter and the stand so that'll aid the no standing policy on that side of the ground. It's also going to be hard to move past people once (if!) the ground begins to fill. They'd better have that cantilever roof in by next season as has been mentioned, those poles are very think and obstructive. There's some very proper looking modern turnstyles set up. Not sure where the shack could go that will take a flow of people but leave a view for the match for those working in it. Also, there's a million entry points onto the pitch as it stands, surely they still have to fill in that perimeter. Finally, for a rugby pitch in mid Winter it looked in very decent condition. The programme had a piece on sharing with the football club and mentioned how there would be heavy effort put into pitch maintainence.

I was there last week myself and saw the turnstiles. They seem to be the type that records the amount of times it goes round so that should make it much easier to get an official attendence.

There won't be. Shop, chipper van etc won't be in a position where the pitch is viewable.

Don't apologise for supporting a UCD team Poor Student, it's expected they would be YOUR rugby team. They are definitely MY rugby team . Great start to the AIL 66% win ratio can't argue with that. If that sort of home record can transfer to the Pete Mahon's Blue and Black Army we'll be ok.

Technically they were playing my rugby team. The highlight of the day was the delicious chocolate fudge cake.

When will the new ground be ready?

When will the new ground be ready?
It's ready now. Still have to change to stand to a cantilever one but we will be using the Bowl from the start of the season.

[DmanDmythDledge]

Was in the Bowl today for a schools rugby game. Stand is very good and there are a couple of entrences at the back of it. There's nothing else at all around the pitch- the dugouts look lost on the far side with nothing beside them. It reminded me a bit of the RSC.

[MickNolan]

is there any pictures of the ground finished?

[John83]

Not currently - it's hard right now as you can't really get any good ones from outside the ground.
