Bohs coming into it a bit it seems
Rovers v Waterford abandoned.
Tolka Park is falling down!
Tolka Park proving it's no longer fit to host top division football anymore
Loose stanchion/floodlight pylon inside the ground deemed unsafe by the referee, the Shelbourne groundstaff and the Police
Rovers fans on the pitch responding to some goading by Waterford fans according to the radio
The ****ing floodlight pylon is loose!?!
Even when they are not playing Shels manage to get media attention.Quote:

Aye - from what I could gather from the radio - it's one of those similar to the one which caught fire in the Cup Final a few years backQuote:

Just got text from "eye witness" saying game called off as "floodlight about to fall down".
Shels are due to play Harps in Tolka tomorrow night :confused:
What caught fire in 2002 was a padding wrap around the base of one of the floodlights (so that if a player went flyign into it, they wouldn't get hurt).Quote:

Tolka must be in a right state to have a ref calling a game off mid-play.
They cant play home games in Richmond, the residents would go mental and we have to be nice to them.
How can the best ground in the league turn into a death trap in a matter of weeks, 1st the main stand then the pitch and now the lights.?

so let me get this straight. Rovers fans invaded the pitch and have pulled down all the floodlights. Scum. :p
Anyone know what happens to betting on this match ? or if its part of a double/treble etc ? assume money refunded ?
He meant it was the same pylon, not the same sort of incidentQuote:

IN reaction to goading from Waterford fans apparently. Texxt I received said "Our idiots couldn't just ignore thiers"Quote:
