A special thread will have to be opened too!

So the regional grants were announced after the capital ones a few weeks ago, the FAI got:

€74,000 for equipment for grassroots and €56,000 for Ferrycarraig Park

DCC got 65k for Dalyer

Only one on the rejected list LOI related are Dundalk who were refused a grant for kitting out the YDC with a Health and Fitness suite. The club have already mentioned spending about 50/60k on getting that done recently themselves.

Not at all. It's a fierce swanky pitch we're getting!

Dont underestimate the naysayers of any artificial pitch in top football.

Big difference between being against any artificial pitches in top football and being against the disgrace Dundalk had down and its surroundings being in top football.

Word around town, the takeover will be complete next week in Oriel and work will begin to build a stand on ShedSide (Shed will still be in operation on match nights)

Town end and Away end to follow. Id imagine and rightly so, Away end will be left to last!
