This article is from summer but I can't find any updates on it. Standing in the UEFA conference league would be huge for LOI clubs, especially clubs like Derry and Pats who need to maximise space
Would the limited points of access/exit to Richmond Park still not present an issue for capacity, standing or otherwise ?Quote:

It's funny really.Quote:

If t was literally an alcohol sponsor - like a beer brand or an off-license chain - then I'd agree. But pubs are a different animal IMO. They don't just sell alcohol, and are often important neighbourhood facilities.Quote:

I don't disagree with any of that.Quote:

I don't know how much it cost but it is certainly something other clubs should look at to boost attendances. It will help create a good atmosphere.Quote:

The main takeaway is that work on the terracing means that there may be additional capacity, but an engineering report will determine the final figure.
Away terrace will be 450 people and will have a roof.Quote:

That'll be a good capacity for Bohs - probably the biggest in the league after Rovers, Cork and Pats ? Will be interesting to see what demand is like over the season.Quote:
