And it doesn't leak. The whole thing is fully wired for power/light/phone/ISDN/fire sprinkler system/fire alarm/air system etc etc. There are also male, female and disabled toilets at either end the stand.
The main pitch and second pitch are both floodlit, with all the area behind the stand tarmacked and an ESB sub station down the far end. Oh yeah, and the turnstyle plaza at the front.
And that leaves out all the professional fees of architects and engineers and whatever else.
two shay - was waiting for someone to shut him up - its pretty obvious why it cost twice the amount - some ppl just love having ago at other clubs, sad reallyQuote:

Fair play. If you've been in both and you think yours is beeter then i believe you. Sounds impressive actually.Quote:

Oh and as for the little Galway fecker there i was NOT can i repeat NOT having a go at Athlone:rolleyes:. I simply thought ours was a better stand going on observation from pictures and passing by. To be honest your reply was a bit off the mark because i was not having a go at him you just assumed it.

Cutting it mighty fine lads!
The Ikea Stand, its a large base for a temp stand, lansdowne and point cat put seats up in about 4 hours so if they arrive they be up in no time.Quote:

Very impressive, must look a fine ground overall now. Last time I was there (mid 90`s) only the dressing room/small stand structure was in place.Quote:

It won't be terraced, there'll be standing room around the pitch, similar to Belfield Park. There are plans for more stands but I've no idea when that's likely to happen.Quote:

There's a three phase plan. What you're looking at is phase 1. Phase 2 would involve covering all of the existing stand and building a similar sized stand at the other side. Phase 3 would see stands put behind both goals. I don't know how real or likely the other two phases are but they exist in writing and are allegedly targetted to be completed in 5 years.Quote:

Derry City Council today agreed in principle to hand-over the ground to Brandywell Properties. BP is a subsidiary established by DCFC to hand the ground issue. It is made up of current and former board members
SDLP/Sinn Fein voted unanimously in favour. DUP abstained.
Brandywell Properties/DCFC now have 6 months to prove that they can get funding in place.
No excuses now - its now all in our court.
