Fair play. How about putting the pics of the new stand under construction on your official website?

ya, drove up the dyke road this evening and was very happy to see all the metal framing of the new stand showing over the boundary walls.

ya. only the floodlights in each corner will remain. the ones infront of the stands will be taken down after the construction of the new stand is finished.

The two sets of floodlights in front of the new stand will be placed on the roof of the new stand, the end ones will remain. There will be a new TV gantry built quite soon on the current stand.

When is the stand expected to be open. What is the first league game where we will be able to use it
the official opening is the day before the Sunderland Game.

Where exactly is the stand ? Is it only covering a small part of the Ground or is there more stand to follow so it stretches to the end ?

i think its is going to be just in the central third/half for starters - it can then be extended on either end to the full length of the pitch as necessary

opposite the existing stand. i personally thought it was going to run most of the length of the pitch but maybe it's not :confused:

even on the sunderland tickets - the ground map shows the new stand being smaller and shorter than the old stand
i know from the design of the stand that blocks can be added
Patrick Dunne

Slightly shorter. It will run at least 80% of the length of the pitch.

1500 afaik
I have been up there and the stand is really taking shape.The Concrete beams are up and the view of the pitch and the surrounding area is brilliant. This will be a huge boost for eveyone involved and i cant wait to see the place when its finished/
was up getting my match tickets today for the sunderland match, and I have to say that with the concrete beams going in on top of the steel work it is starting to look damn good. Plenty of lads up there working away so I would say that it will take shape much faster than we think ( or at least I hope so :) )

Lads i can see it now there are going to be complaints about the new stand as is too high , i can see the locals around terryland going to the local council saying that they can't pick up RTE on the telly anymore and the new stand is the problem , you watch .
Its too late as all planning deadlines are closed.Peter G. is the Man alright hopefully his work will be rewarded on the pitch and good luck to him and all at Athenry next saturday I would urge United Fans to get up and support a man who is the main man at GUFC.

Surely they couldn't have started building it without planning premission?

I think Claret was having a bit of a joke about the height of it. The stand is fully compliant with all planning regs.

The stand is taking shape very quickly allright, from playing in front of it on Sunday , I can only imagine the atmosphere will be fantastic when theres a full house.
Fair Play to Peter G allrite, great supporter of the local game, and been fantastic in all the work he's done for us over the last 35 years.

anywhere the plans can be viewed? saw a disabled fan recently atbterryland and she was stuck by the corner flag so was wondering what facilities (if any) will be in place for wheelchair users
Upto date pics here http://www.galwayunitedfc.ie/menu-items/photo-gallery.html . I was up there last night its looking class.

Just a couple of quick questions:
1. Are the floodlights staying where they are.
2. Is the front row of the stand as high as it looks. It looks like the front row of seats will be 6 or 7 feet off the ground.
Looks great by the way. Well done!
The floodlights are going on top of the stand ie. no poles obstructing the view.The foodlights in the old stand are also being mouned on top of the stand and all new seating in maroon fo both stands.
The stand is approx 8 ft above ground level whic will allow approx 400 in front standing.

The stand looks class and the fact that the lights are bein moved will make it even better. Twud be great to be able to fill it every secod week it'll be a tight ground with the supporters right up close to the action. It could become a cauldron for visiting teams. Is there any point in suggesting that the Galway FA name the stands rather than calling them City centre side or Waters works side? Possibly naming them after former United greats/great Galway soccer players.....or would it cause too much trouble trying to decide who they are named after?

i love thge view out from the tunnel. it'd be brilliant if we could get the vocal home support directly across from the tunnel. it'd be great for the team if that was the first thing they saw, it might also intimidate some younger opposition players

I Presume they is a possibility of advertising on the top of the stand? All we need now is a scoreboard to complete the renovations!

What about the match on Friday night if there are no lights on that side of the ground?? If it's a murky evening, it will be pretty dark during the second half of the game.
Patrick Dunne
14/06/2007, 12:00 PM
It is bright until 10.30. The game will be over at 9.35.
The game is being played a week before the longest day
in the year.

So I know they were taking down the two middle floodlights but do we still have the two outer ones still up ?
Tir Oilean
14/06/2007, 3:09 PM
No Claret they were all take down. Probably for access but i think the two corer ones will be re erected later as they dont affect the view AFAIK.

no we have decided to remove 3 to be placed on roof on new stand and remove 2 from old stand
