Well that had to do with the fact that they were there short term and it's a **** hole. However, if we are there for good then the place should/will be revamped and therefore hopefully not affecting our already terrible crowds!Quote:

However the first game we ever played there v Cork in the now defunct Super Cup was on a summers evening & at the time the general concensus was that it would be a great place to host regular football, on that basis the change to summer football may help Shels proposal to relocate there.
Koh
There would be a good spread of Dublin clubs then. At the moment we've got Pats, Rovers, Shels and Bohs (& Dub City) playing within a very close distance to each other which everyone knows isn't working. Gambles being taken by both Bohs and Shels. Interesting times!
P.S. If Shels do move to Santry I really hope something serious is done with the place. It was my least favourite ground to go to.
I have not got a clue about that, hopefully they will be relocated somewhere else though I can't see that happening especially if the stadium is being revamped. Hopefully this does make us even if the ground will have a poxy running track :rolleyes:Quote:
