whats the story with Shels new stadium ? Will it be up to much ?
What new stadium??
I thought we were going to sell Tolka and move elsewhere (although in a poor stadium)....
The 1,500 seater stand is alright. I thought it was only a 500 seater stadium.
I think Athlones stadium is pretty cool.... You can probably put a second tier above it and get 25,000 in the door if it goes the whole way around.
:D :D
That's great news. Will the new stand be opposite the current one?Quote:

I'll give him a chair har har... but shiver me timbers I cant afford a stadium for me maties though
Yes it will. The RSC will finally resemble of what you might call, a football ground.Quote:

with as population of approx. 15,000* I wouldn't think that the upper tier phase of Athlone Town stadium (Lissywollen) is planned for oh, say, what, maybe 30 years or so!Quote:

sorry that was a hypothetical... I was talking about the design.
First time up in Oriel since they did it up - still not convinced about the pitch, but the ground looks a lot better. Much neater, new shed looks good, various bits of old metal and random shrubberies are gone too.
Arkaga apparently has plans for us to build a 28,000-30,000 all seater stadium, my guess would be in the new Docklands development.

well, a few months later, and work has recommenced on our new stand, the foreigners were kicked out, and a few dubs have come to help us out, by firstly ripping down what was built of the seating section, apparently they don't have a clue as to why an engineer passed it to be built,
two dates iv'e heard for completion are end of september and end of november, hopefully september,
Typical :rolleyes::pQuote:

News coming out of Wexford Youths is that the first of the permanent stands will be completed for the start of next season.
A little wooden shed has appeared in the Bowl. It looks like the type of thing you'd get in a garden centre.
Oh is there a second one beside it by any chance?!Quote:

Leinster has a match in the Bowl on 15th September so I presume everything will be finished by then.
I was over there just now to watch Ireland train and it seems finished except for half a fence to be put down on the stand side and the turnstiles haven't been installed.
I heard Bray got a good deal from B & Q.Quote:

A lot more temporary than anticipated then.
You can't have a temporary stand getting in the way on a site when you're building a permanent one, I presume.Quote:

They are considerably bigger than the stands installed a few years ago for the Leinster games. I hope the nuts and bolts are well tightened...
New floodlights look the biz as well.
