    Belfield Bowl Update..... I was at the Eircom awards where I met a number of club officials. It seems that the developments of the Bowl will not be completed in time for the Soccer club to move in this year. So it seems we will be seeing out the entire 2007 season at Belfield Park

      In other words UCD will not meet a premier Division Licence criteria?

        Why? Has Belfield Park suddenly ceased to be good enough?
        You can't spell failure without FAI

          was it ever good enough?

            Throw them out I say - 3 clubs in Dublin is more than enough.

              Didnt UCD get their licence on the proviso they'd be moving?

                The plan was to move in during the 2007 season. Belfield Park has passed licensing for the past number of years.

                  Seeming as planning permission and funding is in place and work has already begun, I don't see why even a one year delay should be that much of a problem.

                    Judging by the above pics it needs a lot of work!

                    You need to do more than just a main stand!

                    Bringing the TV gantry from Belfield Park wouldn't be a bad idea.

                      I think the gantry will be brought over. The stand will be "extended" on either end, but this will be uncovered. It doesn't sound nice looking at all.

                        The criterion is that the work must be finished by 2008.

                          No different from Drogheda, I'd assume.

                            At the alumni dinner last night, it was stated that work would be starting in the next four or five weeks (I assume that's when the rugby season finishes), with the expectation that we'll finish this season in the Bowl.

                              Last rugby game is next weekend.

                                Has the old biddy who lodged the planning objection either a) withdrawn or b) croaked?
