I pity the fool who doesn't make sure their contracts are 100%:DQuote:

I can't be bothered to go into detail, but the thing about this deal (if my understanding is correct) is that once the contract is formally signed the stadium is as good as built. The developer doesn't get their hands on the prize (Finn Park) until the new stadium and other works are 100% finished and signed off on. So it's in the developers interest to get it done.
What he said more or less.Quote:

Are they still stalled over PP?Quote:

There's only a few bits to be cleared up before work can begin such as the Trustees sorting out their tax status to avoid incurring capital gains tax or something like that and also final approval from the department of sport and tourism. Work may begin before the new season depending on how fast things are sorted. The great thing about the deal in place is that the developer has to deliver the entire stadium and surrounding works before they get the existing Finn Park- so once diggers are on site there is relatively low risk that things can go wrong.Quote:

Has anyone heard any news on the Dalymount sale. Can't find anything anywhere
Nerely a month has gone by now , surely there must have been some developments in that time .
Nothing huge.
Just wondering, in the 15 months since this thread was started, what's gone on at each of the clubs? (Also just by way of getting updates from the various clubs)
- Athlone - moved into Lissywollen, or at least a quarter of it anyway
- Bohs - sold Dalyer with plans to have someone else build a ground in Harristown. Currently held up by an objection from the shopping centre?
- Bray - new canvas stand on one side to replace Croke Park
- Cobh - new stand in place
- Cork - new stand in place
- Derry - do they now own the Brandywell? Plans to do up the rest of the ground.
- Drogheda - where's this at? No news in ages.
- Dundalk - Terrace done up and the ground generally tidied up.
- Finn Harps - new ground still in the pipeline.
- Galway - new stand in place
- Kildare - nothing doing?
- Limerick 37 - moved ground again; any plans to do it up?
- Longford - nothing, but then not much obvious really needed
- Monaghan - no news
- Shamrock Rovers - work on Tallaght to recommence shortly
- Shels - still spending Tolka; no news on a move out?
- Sligo - no news?
- St Pat's - new stand in place, then removed. No other news?
- UCD - new ground in place
- Waterford - new stand almost in place
- Wexford - planning permission holding up new stand
Certainly a remarkable amount of work done in a short space of time.
Is the Croke Park comment a Neil Jordan reference?Quote:

CHANGES CONTINUE AT KINGSPAN CENTURY PARK
Wednesday, 06 February 2008
As Monaghan United strive towards improving facilities at Kingspan Century Park fans will notice some changes when they arrive at the ground for the new season. Firstly they will pass through new electronic turnstiles on their way into the ground. Once there they will see the new enclosed Press facilities at the back of the stand and they will also be able to keep an eye on the scores thanks to a new electronic scoreboard!
These changes are a start of things to come at United’s homeground as they endeavour to make the ground more and more user friendly.

Hacking down the jungle on the far side.
Don't get me wrong it's still an absolute kip but it's nowhere near as dangerous a kip as it once was.
No real plans for future development mind you as we are waiting to see will this Re-Generation Board give us a concrete handout in the form of a 7,000 seater stadium across the road. :ball:
Hopefully we hear what the latest plans are tonight at the fans forum.Quote:

Our 'New Stand' almost fully finished. Interior still to be completed.
Flips sake. Your new owner is making a dogs dinner of putting up your stand. I don't think much of his chances of building the biggest skyscraper in the world.;)Quote:
