Yeah - he is a total disgrace. Every football expert knows that you have to have a million euro a season playing budget to win the league. Lacks ambition that manQuote:

That looks really good. Pardon my ignorance, but what's this youth centre's relationship with the club? Did they build it, or is it a community facility built beside the stadium or something?Quote:

Would explain why they keep having to release players by June though.
no funding from lotto at the moment and mervue united or galway united or the galway league have none eitherQuote:

Looks good. Do any other clubs have stadium plans?
Also....
Has work commenced yet on the Finn Harps ground?
Have plans stalled for Limerick at the Markets Field?
Is there any info regarding the completion of Tallaght? (Though, frankly, the ground is perfect as it is).
I remember reading that Bohs plan to have moved from Dalymount within 7 (?) years, will this see them moving to Harristown or Blanch, or will it not go ahead at all, killing the club and losing Dalymount in the process?
The FAI lodged planning apllications for a new stand in Drogheda replacing the current away terrace and home stand, has there been any progress whatsoever with this?
I think they're building a stand at the Square end of the ground starting this off-season (although I read that in a post on here, so it's not gospel!). Doesn't matter if they never fill it if it stops that wind tunnel effect!Quote:

I still won't believe it until I see it!
If tey bring the current stand the whole way round to the existing stand would that not create a bigger capacity. Only problem then would be that behind the goal you are very far away from the pitch.Quote:

I presume by "they" you mean the local Council who own the Stadium ?Quote:

It's a capital investment. If Shams can sell out the extra capacity on a semi-regular basis, it'll pay for itself in a couple of years through increased rent. Plus it'll create plenty of jobs in construction. The council could do plenty of worse things with the money!Quote:
