Aerial views of Irish stadia

[Sandro]

I remeber I have seen some aerial views of Irish stadia somewhere in the web, definitly those of Shels, Harps, Waterford and Sligo. Does anybody have those pics, perhaps in good quality/format? Do you know of other good photos? I don't mind about the original paper photos, but I know many collectors association would pay good money for that.

Again, would it be possible to have a on line guide to Irish grounds like this:

Irish Football Grounds

yes, I remember this excellent website, I sent some pictures too but it seems those pages haven't been updated for a long time and do not contain many aerial views. Are you the webmaster? That website has a huge potential but needs to be further developed with further comments/data/pics

Google Earth is a nice and useful program, but zenith views from the satellite aren't that good, grounds look all the same.

On Irish Football Grounds website there are pics of Ballybofey, Brandywell, Showgrounds, Tolka Park, Waterford RSC

I think 'A Face' is involved.

[Sandro]

Yes, now I remember I got a few PM message from him on this forum (I replied to the first about two years later, a little record isn't it?). I do hope he will revamp his website someday. By the way, I will be in Ireland next week (13-15 in Dublin, Cork and Galway, a very quick trip) hopefully I can take some pictures

Here's (http://images.google.ie/images?q=tbn:FtzplW2RSUDYmM:http://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Photo/footballeurope/FootballEurope/425722_MEDIUMSQUARE.jpg) a decent one of Dalymount Park from uefa.com. This, or a very similar image, is included in large format in the 2006 Dalymount Trust calendar.
Of course, when New Dalymount is built, everyone will get a good aerial view of it!

Hi there, nice to meet you again and nice to read you are working on version two. Next week I will meet my friend Paul, he used to be PRO at Galway United and is still well connected with publishers and newsagents. If he knows about picture of Irish grounds I will let you know

It was taken by sportsfile.com, you buy their pics on their web site.

Ah come on it's not that good!

The GAA would hate that, Jerry - this (http://www.stormeyes.org/tornado/digitals/field01.jpg) is what they'd prefer and are aiming for
