I would guess they'll be a no standing area if FAI Cup Final held there then?Quote:

Maybe it's because crowds have dwindled.Quote:

Possibly so that the whole ground has proper metered admission?
I don't think the new turnstiles are installed in the St. Annes end at all.
made i little video on the progress made at coleman here
Great improvement.
What's with the blue seats? Are ye changing colours?
Don't mention the Slant :eek:Quote:

I'm not taking the pi$$. I feel sorry for ye with the way ye were messed about with that stand, it's a disgrace.
Ah, but we haven't owned any of our $hitholes (including the current one)Quote:

See, not our fault :p
Anyway, who knows, this might even actually be built at some stage :)
Temporary stand in Wexford is now gone. Work is due to commence on the permanent stand shortly.
hmm interesting....
Temporary stand in Richmond has re-appeared for last 3 home games of the season v bohs rovers & drogs
What exactly is happening there?Quote:

Is that for away fans?Quote:

seats are being rented so they were sent back
3 big home games left
bohs & rovers bring the biggest away follwoing to richmond and drogs will probably win the league then so it's defo a sensible move.
Bohs fans are being put in it for fridays game so i presume it'll be for away fans from now on. I'd prefer if our singers/sei were in it rather than away fans but what can you do....
loads of promotion being done for the last 3 home games, inc a TV ad on setanta (see http://www.stpatsfc.com/news.php?id=1833 for it)
Thanks lads.
Looks well.Only drawback I see is its lack of a roof.It always loses the atmosphere when there is no roof plus if its ****ing like today it will not be a pleasant experience!!
Also have to question charging €20 for an open aired stand behind a goal.A little steep in my eyes!

Expensive programme.Plus you have a better view in the Connaught Street side of the ground than you would have behind the goal in Richmond;)Quote:

The delay in getting the permanent seats was due to the new owners deciding to look at cheaper alternatives (I kid you not) before eventually realising what the previous owners had already found out, that the cheaper versions are classed as temporary seats by UEFA and can't be used for UEFA games.
The new seats are supposed to be red, by the way.
I see a new Grab a Granny promotion. Possibly the funniest eL promotion ever! :DQuote:

I've consistently said our tickets are over priced. My point was related to DvB saying our programme was one of the worst. I buy them everywhere and there are load worse than ours. I'd rate yours as the best (even if I think its overpiced)Quote:

Thats your opinion and of course your entitled to it, personally i find the Pats one dreadful value for money, or to be accurate i did, I actually havent seen one from this season being honest, but unless its improved considerably i genuinely found as an away fan it was poor!Quote:

On the subject of our programme, i agree, i also think ours is overpriced at €4!

:eek: LOL. Ours has improved a fair bit over previous years (when yeeah ours was rubbish)Quote:

Pats' is better this year (albeit based on flicking through other people's programmes in previous years as I never bought it) but the 'free' programme set-up is indeed a scam.Quote:

Pat's allocated the larger part of the Camac to Bohs and Rovers in our last encounters if you remember.So didnt the your fans in the terrace pay €15 for their ticket together with a free programme (irregardless of it's quality).
Although in our next matches you'll probably be in the stand paying the full whack of €20.
Its not a scam. Its €15 for a terrace ticket, and €20 for the stand. Too expenive but nobody thinks they're fooling anybody with the programme lark.
Totally incoherent post but I think the gist of what you are saying is that you got a free programme with a terrace ticket on our last visit to Inchicore which we didnt.Quote:
