Belfield Park under threat

The national hockey stadium hosted the 1994 Womens World Cup and the 1995 Men's European Championships.

The stand may be tiny but the seats have a great view of the pitch and shows that U.C.D.'s authorities are capable of building decent facilities as outlined earlier.

Two such stands and seating along the lines of the back of the sports centre at either end of the bowl and we might make the licence.

Alternatively one of us could win the Lottery and fund the Belfield Park upgrade. Probably the only way to save our spiritual home.
For the record we played our first game in Belfield Park in 1935.

Ahem that was the "Women's" (possibly East German) World Cup and the Men's Europeans, however a temporary stand was erected on the far side of the ground to accommodate the increased number of supporters.

We're talking about something permanent, and with a playing surface that can't be controlled to the same extent as a hockey pitch.
