Lets see how much respect Delaney has for the 'football family' now. He knows what needs to be done, and it isn't 'stepping aside'.Quote:

This won't go away until entire board resigns and Delaney gone.
They need to get on with it at this stage.
According to this, funds may be allocated, but may not be drawn down. https://twitter.com/emmetmalone/stat...49163429048320
So not quite as bleak.
I suspect this is being done to ratchet up pressure on the FAI to dump Delaney (and possibly what's left of the Board) and will be sorted out long before any of those projects see the light of day.Quote:

Not much more specific details on this (and a long list including almost every area would need looked at) and we have heard this before, but if they have spent 500k on the YDC to date, maybe the next phase would be spectator improvements, we can only live in hope..............
Few litres of whitewash from Woodies so!Quote:

Pity,but with that and the constant call's for housing in Dublin, timing just not on Pats side on this one I suspectQuote:

Dalymount is publicly owned now, so sport capital money would not be going to the FAI. Tesco may be more of a delay in this case.

It won't cost a penny, as the public purse won't have to put any money in.Quote:

In short - this is the council turning down what at first glance appears to be a good deal from a number of angles.
It seems odd that the DCC are refusing to play ball on this when the site is a lot more suited to having a stadium and the other amenities than the current ground and most of the other potential sites pats could move to in the area. I know you can say the council handing over the plot doesn't make sense for them but they're also getting a lot of community facilities built for them which goes some way to negating that.Quote:

Yeah. But surely someone else throwing down houses for them would be a win-win, and leave them free to focus their resources and effort on additional new housing units elsewhere ?Quote:

Vinny Perth going in 2 footed on Shane Ross and hes bang on.
Ross tweeted his picture among the 40 or so UCD fans in the Des Kelly last night,Also made the point that he paid in ( good value according to himself). Hopefully he had a good look around at the crumbling facilities.
Didn't he pay in as an OAP the cheap c**t!Quote:

It used to be weeded every so often but hasn't been done in a while by the looks of it.
Could bohs not get a couple of volunteers to weed the place.
