Newry City have recently added a new stand(riddiculous for a club with an average attendance of 150) and as you say lots of grounds in the Irish leauge have upgraded of late.
From what i know there is/was a lot more funding available in NI and a lot of it through the peace funding programmes.Im told though that Newry City FC have a rich benefactor,much the same as SP Franchise so expect both to go belly up soon
Put our grounds to shame. Such a pity when the standard of the league down here is better and the crowds bigger.Quote:

not sure, part of the stadium was on fire anyway
Just went up and had a look. No damage done up top to any of the seats. A fair bit of concrete has chipped away underneath though.
Just brings a much needed taste of Saint Mel's to the place! :D
Seats in the shed nearly complete:

Seats will be put in the covered and un covered area of the shed.
So is there no more standing room at Oriel Park? Are there not people who will miss it or are a bit peeved about this? (Not saying its a backwards move, it is what you have to do).
Seats going all along the shed side of the ground, looks small in this photo, but this is almost one entire lenght of the ground.
Looks to be 5 rows in total.
While the seats are "permanent" in the UEFA regulations sense, there is nothing to stop the club removing a section in the Shed after Europa and retaining them in storage.Quote:

The main stand looks the part now. The rest of it looks a bit scrappy but overall it's a worthwhile improvement.Quote:

What a mess that season was, as it took until Sept for us to play a home game.
looks great oriel well done to all , in the second photo the front row of seats look lower than the fence around the pitch
Aye they are.
I never realised there was so much room between the shed and the pitch. They could easily build a proper stand there if the club wanted.Quote:
