Its seems that many of the EL league teams are carrying out work or are planning to carry out work to improve their grounds, which is great to see!
I take it the majority of the money for these improvements is coming from public bodies i.e Government/local councils etc?
Most funding for capital work at grounds would be from:Quote:

Ans local Football Associations
Terryland Park - Galway Football Assoc
Turners Cross - Munster FA
well, the MFA arent actually contributing much at all to turner's cross, they're just spending the grants they get. afaik.Quote:

The Sunderland friendly is to knock the existing outer wall and turn styles at the "shed"/curragh road/east end and replace them with some thing nice and modern.Quote:

of course, the MFA has sold St. Anns End tickets for the Sunderland game at the end of this month so they wont be doing it before then. I hope that this is the only thing delaying the start of construction.
