So you're claiming the licencing meetings took place on a Sunday?
No... It took place on a monday and was announced during the afternoon of that monday.. but today they haven't been
The license system is pointless if Cork get one.
Cork City's licence application should be an open-shut case tbh.
The only criteria for an away section of any ground is the availability of some covered seats to away fans which there is at Oriel. So if you have a problem with getting wet at Oriel I suggest you pay the extra few bob to get a seat in the designated away seating at the front of the stand in oriel.
I actually do sit in the stand.
But the licensing manual calls for refreshments for away fans (not available on the terrace), disabled toilets (not there), emergency lighting (twice we've had to walk out of Oriel in the pitch dark), permanent water fonts (none there) and turnstiles(unsure about this one but as far as I can rememberwe buy our tickets outside at the caravan and go through the big gate showing the ticket to the stewards).
Personally it makes no difference to me about these but technically they are a breach of licensing. UP has a lot more than that wrong with it but the FAI gave the licence last year based on their plans (which they never followed up) and presumably this year on the basis that they have permission to rectify the issues.
I bet its probable that a lot of grounds have similar issues that are in breach.
