The whole place is in poor condition. To be fair, credit to the people who have kept it going, but that's all part of the nostalgia and charm of it. Getting knocked down sometime next year, turned 90° and rebuilt to hold approx 8,000.Quote:

Just noticed the astro beside Tallaght Stadium. Does that belong to Rovers?
South Dublin County council like the rest of the place I’d say. The SDCC are pumping a nice few quid into facilities in fairness to them.Quote:

I think the post you're on about is photos of work being done to the ground prior to their first season.Quote:

Ridiculous decision.
The sooner they're banned, the better.
Thing is, even if they're banned tomorrow, you'll have to give clubs 10 years to change over, so as to not financially disadvantage them. Bray will still be sitting with that pitch in 2034.
Just when you thought we have one less artificial pitch with Dundalk getting rid of theirs Bray go and get oneQuote:

Cost in the region of 2 million according to that from last year….
The same chap that posted the earlier pictures of the new stand is great for giving updates (for anyone who hasn't seen the ones from last week: https://x.com/bradley_steve/status/1859032295585575033)
It looks like an absolutely class covered terrace. I wish new Dalymount had the space to put something like that in... one end may look a little like that in the corner but it's closer to a smaller version of the Dell/Southampton. Hopefully will look well but the terrace in Derry looks brilliant.

Looks a great job to be fair, new development at Brandywell.
Premier Sports 1 are doing an election debate on sport at 8pm tonight. I'm sure we can expect the funding of League of Ireland infrastructure to come up.
