The council are being so pedantic and to be quite honest childish, it would have cost less to get just green seats. If all the seats were green the staduim would look great and would also suit to have an underage internationalQuote:

I wasn't even suggesting that.Quote:

Good old Tetris. If can spin the yellow block above the Umbro sign can slide that down between the yellow & red block. Was the architects name Mr. Nintendo? :pQuote:

SDCC expect this to become quite the moneyspinner. They'll receive rent from Rovers and high percentages of all revenue from the ground (ads etc)
Sweet deal as I believe hasn't costs SDCC a cent of their own money?Quote:

Will there be an official opening match? Maybe against a top English side?
The contractor is from Longford, relations of a friend of mine. I remember it was costing a fortune in security to keep the site under their control when things had stalled and they were owed a lot of money. Nice to see how far it's come on since then, even if the seats are oddly coloured.
Apparently they're letting Carlow GAA play a few games in it - hence the seat colours
I can't believe nobody is able to give a definitive answer as to the immediate plans for developing the ground.
For every person that says work will start shortly on the opp side, someone else will say it won't.
For every person that says there'll be 4 connected stands, another will say just 2.
Permanent stands... no temporary.
Timescale is in place... no its not.
etc, etc, etc...
What's the story??
There will be a temporary stand opposite the main stand erected by April-ish. It will be RDS grand stand style with a roof.
The original plan for the stadium is four connected stands. There is no timescale for this as of yet.
Cheers, I'll run with that prediction so.Quote:
