The shed side is a perfect location to build a new stand, the angle would have to be quite high, but there is definitely enough space there. The YDC behind it would box it in nicely.

Cabo having their shindig tonight and announced their 5 year plan and long term goals. Great summary in their PDF, highlight being a stadium/ their own proper facilities in Kilboggan park in conjunction with DLRD CoCo, Seapoint rugby club, the running club and possibly Foxrock/ Cabo GAA club.

That's a very good read. Really love what Cabo are doing. Building from the bottom up and not throwing money at chasing a pipe dream.Quote:

That's the problem in CABO the LOI side really don't feel like part of the club and they are trying to make it appear more of a pathway for the kids and make a connection. Lots of talk last night about new u13 and u15 National leagues.
The problem they have is the poor results over the last two years, its hard enough to get people to go to FD games let alone FD games where you are bottom or second bottom. But at least they are trying, if the council ever did build a stadium the number of houses around would almost guarantee a decent turnout if facilities were good
Cabo once again coming across as extremely sensible. Fair play.
That's the problem with these new clubs. No respect for tradition.:D
I have no faith in the future of any club that misspells its own name in the file containing its strategic plan.
Bray do not actually want to leave the Carlisle Grounds after all, even though it's in their 5 year plan.

WTF?
"Oh well if you don't want to refurbish it why don't you sign over the ground to us and we'll take care of it? We have some fine construction people involved"
WTF if they move out to Finglas? thats a hell of a distance if thats true!Quote:

Not the kind of guy I would like running my club. Seems to have a history of property deals and stadiums.
They train in Finglas but that makes no sense to me since there arew plenty of decent training facilities between Bray and Finglas, UCD comes to mind, they could easily train there, as I think some clubs have in the pastQuote:

I know Rovers were previously refused permission to play home games there (other than one home game against UCD)
@martinho - they're not saying they want to move to Finglas?
Bray train in Stepaside. Not sure what the Finglas thing is about.
Bray's underage teams train in Stepaside I think. Not the senior team.
They were doing their pre-season in Finglas somewhere as there were no astro pitches availablie closer to Bray... They will be training in Stepaside once the weather improves....Quote:

Can anyone comment on the quality of the new pies in Dalymount last Friday>
Underage teams train at Joeys I think. DW has squared the Finglas circle!Quote:

The Pie Man. The pies are very good, but at €8 for a pie and some spuds and peas, it's a bit steep.Quote:

Any sign of a pretender to the MonDog?
The Mon Dog was massively overrated.
Jesus lad, they don't have a club anymore. At least let them have the memory of a hot dog.
Well, I've never seen one. So it's even hard to judge. And I'm not willing to google that in work.Quote:

There is a bit at the start, when Santos come out in their all white and Pele takes centre stage with the team lined up. A piece of music is played, what a tune, it's in Portuguese but I eventually tracked it down if anyone is interested.
Probably as bizarre a post as any, but there you go!

Well this part of the Monaghan story definitely checks out.Quote:

Not that i'm aware of, certainly wasn't on the opening night against Bray. Are you sure you weren't watching the highlights of our Drogheda match which was up in United Park??Quote:
