Fair play to Sligo and Galway there.
Where will the camera be in Terryland for our televised game tomorrow week?

John O'Donoghue has just been appointed as Ceann Comhairle... hopefully this won't be a negative for Rovers and Tallaght
Thought that this morning when I heard.Quote:

LOL I think you misunderstood the question I was asking but well its good to know that Galway United have planned for so far into the future!Quote:

Seamus Brennan. Wouldn't fill me with confidence if I were a Rovers fan. But then again, I'd have said the same about O'Donoghue, so you never know.Quote:

I just love to see staduims in the eircom league coming on like that and i am looking forward to going back to terryland this season to see your new developement.
Will it be seated or a standing? The way forward is seating and i think Galway should try to make it all seated.
yes its seated 1500 approx
it will actually be similar in style to the East Stand at Landsdowne (smaller obviously ;)) where there will be a terrace to the front of the stand with seating behind. 1500 seates with approximately 300- 400 standing in front.Quote:

I remember hearing a while back that Finn Harps were planning on building a new 6,000 seat stadium, has there been any progress made on this project?
Next Monday, there will be a delivery of 3300 maroon seats in Terryland, 1800 of which are for the old stand.
The old seats will be removed by Shamrock Rovers fans next Friday. :rolleyes:
noel the groundsman hang on to a few of them for me, i might put them out my back garden as momentoes, bit of history on the old seats, they came from stokes citys old ground and i managed to convince a uk transport company to pick them up at dublin and bring them to terryland. Then the 40ft container truck got down to terryland but couldnt get back out costing a major multinational in the city to miss some customer deadlines (serious **** at the time). The lad who loaded them up in dublin with me was one Paddy Flea who played with mervue utd. it was a bitch of a job and i remember my arms hanging off after getting them loaded on and off the truck god rest paddy he passed away early this year only 42.

Also heard that they're builders are cack.
I suppose if they can't read a drawing then they would be alright.Quote:

Pitch rezoning may net €5m for Drogheda club

The first steps have been taken to rezone the football pitch of former FAI Cup champions Drogheda United to residential use which could increase its value to €5 million.
The pitch is in a prime location adjacent to the Lourdes hospital and three minutes from the M1 motorway. If passed, the rezoning would be worth millions to the club which is seeking a new home on a greenfield pitch on the perimeter of the town.
The rezoning is one of 16 proposed variations to the development plan for Drogheda recently outlined to local councillors. Another is to reserve land for a new bridge crossing of the River Boyne on the west side of the town.
The rezoning of the three acre football pitch, which would make it worth around €2.8 million before a single housing unit is built, is also part of a plan to relocate the club to a huge land bank at Bryanstown, south of Drogheda, and in Co Meath.
It is anticipated that if the rezoning is passed, the club could then apply for a relatively high density development allowing it to boost its value to close to €5 million.
An application to build a 10,000-seat stadium, 5,000 houses as well as extensive leisure, sports and retail developments and a road linking the M1 with the old Dublin-Belfast road, is expected to be lodged with Meath County Council shortly.
Dublin developer Bill Doyle is reported to be behind the plans having acquired the 160 acres for €110 million last year.
However there are concerns about whether the property market remains buoyant enough to merit developing so many housing units close to Drogheda.
The rezoning of the football pitch is being proposed on the basis that the club will relocate to this new southside site.
The engineer for Drogheda has advised councillors that if they do not reserve land for the new bridge crossing, which would link the Rathmullen road to the Collon road at Loughboy, and the land is subsequently built on, then the bridge will probably never be built.
The road would provide a ring route around the western boundary of the town which has been identified as a strategic approach to Drogheda and one under increasing pressure from traffic and contributing to through traffic. The full list of variations will be put on public display later in the year.

I thought that was already lodged?Quote:

Disclaimer - I've been wrong before so treat with a large pinch of salt. However i have to be right sometime (hopefully) :D
Think this is a classic example of 2+2 equalling 400. I doubt it very much if this is true. It's possible that the planning lodged for the stand on the open terrace was 2 feet too tall so I think they re-submitted the application.
I was told that the delay was down to the manafacture of the flooring of the stand as everything else is on site.
:mad:Gettin so ****ed off with the tallaght court issue
They are. Five years ago, the FAI gave clubs a five-year derogation on the ground criteria on the grounds (!) that you can't just put up a ground at the snap of your fingers. Time is now running out for all clubs, including Drogheda.Quote:
