Slightly off-topic, but will away fans be getting space in the stand?Quote:

The field on the left is owned by the University who have done a deal with a private consortium to construct a Marina (subject to PP). The river is only 100 metres further left. The associated carpark should provide more parking spaces for people attending matches at Terryland.
Out of a 600 seat stand, 599 are available to away supporters:DQuote:

Allow 15 minutes to queue at the chipper van before you take your seat though

Looks really impressive - any chance of it getting a roof and will the away fans be in that stand
I have to say Im not impressed at all! With your chairman I thought you'd be getting a quality redevelopment, not some have arsed uncovered temporary seating.
Is there a plan to put in permanent stands around the ground and make it look like a proper stadium. Yes its still one of the better grounds in the league, and the stand is fine, but i was hopeing Pats could do better with the resources they have.
My first question regarding a roof has already been asked. Second question is, will the away fans get that stand and half the Camac Terrace as before? If so, I take it that no home fans will be walking along the back of that stand to get to the Camac Terrace? So, home fans would have the Main Stand, Shed End and half the Camac Terrace, I assume?Quote:

no plans for a roof and we were told at a patron meeting that there's no plans to develop the ground more until we're selling most/all the seats we have. bout 3200 seats now plus the camac and shed terraces.
club dont seem to believe the build it and they will come theory, more along the lines of do well on the pitch and they "might" come.
as for who will be in that stand i think its still to be resolved
for the last 3 games of last season (5NilRovers, drogs & bohs) the away fans were given that stand only, (no camac hooper)
it has 998 seats so doubt anyone would bring more than that
there was a questionairre sent out to fans to see whether they'd prefer away fans in it or put them in shed/shed end of stand but i suppose the final say is with the gardai. would defo be much easier to police for games if away fans were in there only
What happened to the completely redevelop richmond plans?!Quote:

exactly bigmac altho some will twist it as bigger developer/owner not wanting to develop so that he can easily knock the place to build apartments on.
If the weather is like it is today, bring the thermals and wet gear 'cos there's no roofQuote:

no roof over dart side stand though which is exremely disapointing. the club had said they were going to that over the off season but failed as usual
I'm glad a Pats fan said that cos thats what I was thinking;)Quote:

Eh? It's got a concrete base. Renovations at the ground have cost €1.5m I think.Quote:

The poles are part of the roof left over from the stand that was there previously, the roof is to be replaced in the near future so there'll be no more poles.
How do the Polish community feel about this?Quote:

I wouldn't read very much into that at all to be honest. It just means that in those cases you didn't value the player to the same extent that the clubs that signed them did. I don't think that necessarily reflects the overall wage budget at Pats is lower or higher than at other clubs.
Where are the new dressing rooms going to be?Quote:
