Piece in Irish Indo today, and from local media that Kenny indicating Dundalk will be releasing news of the redevelopment of Oriel Park.
We've heard this many times before from the club, but it would appear now they have finally got a lot of the background work in place to kick things off.
We shall see.
He mentioned something similar on LOI weekly today as well. Not in any detail though, just that there would be news soon. I think. I may have not been paying full attention.
It wont take long once they start working on it, the east stand was built in about 3 months.
Afaik won't be ready until mid season. Maybe for our European run :)
Are they putting a roof on the new stand? And if so will it cover the front half of the seats.
Hopefully it'll cover all of the rows. There seems to be a problem in Ireland with building a roof on a stand the only covers 3/4 of the rows. Croke Park, the Aviva and Tallaght have this issue. I can't understand how in a country that gets so much rain that the roof on new stands isn't designed to cover all the seats.
the prevailing wind is from the South generally so the roof will from a practical perspective cover most of the seats,
the problem in the other two stands generally is the rain is coming in from the sides (although the roof doesn't go out far enough anyway.
I agree with you considering we get so much rain we should be building roofs that go well out.
Probably worried about casting shadows and the grass growing too, at least on one side of the pitch. Primarily trying to squeeze out as much for the money though.
Fire in Dalymount overnight. The two portacabins in the corner of the ground went up in flames.
According to the Kildare Nationalist - "The damage was limited to a club office and shop. No one was in the premises at the time."

Gardai are investigating after a fire at the home of Irish football caused 100 grands worth of improvements.
Harsh lol
Any word of what type of pitch Harps will be putting into the new ground?
Sorry if the answer is already above ^^ missed it.
