Zero chance of redeveloped Brandywell.
Is there any headway on that at all. How is that civic trust doing? (the development group, cant remember the name right now)Quote:

New Bohs stadium who knows? It is hard to say as the Dalymount site is still prime development land and always will be, just that the value is not the same now.
Maybe if MetroNorth gets built there is a station proposed nearby so you never know.
Are you a GAA head!Quote:

We are all in this together. As individual clubs we may all hate each other in the context of the LOI, but like any dysfunctional family we need to stick together when the West Brits EPL/SPL Barbarians are at the gates.
Looks more like a European ground than a British one. Which is a good thing.Quote:

This league is not so far out of the gutter that it shouldn't take a unified stand in these affairs
Wouldn't be a great fan of De Rovers but there comes a time when you have to acknowledge perseverence, fan loyalty and sheer bloody mindness. Best of luck for the future. I hope it goes well for ye.
Ahh bless. Well done SDCC on giving Rovers a dig out. Fair play to Rovers for managing to wriggle out of their debts a few years back and leaving a shed load of creditors in the lurch and fair play to the examiner who aided and abbetted the whole carry on and fair play to the tax payers of Ireland who picked up the tab.
Rovers, you really are a shining light to the League, so much so that last year Cork and Drogheda repeated step one in your model for success.
What fan loyalty? Did you see their attendances in previous years? They'll have everyone jumping on the bandwagon now in Tallaght but apart from that, their fans are no more loyal than any other club.Quote:

I dunno should it be in this thread but the advertising hoardings in Turner Cross on the Derrynane Road side are quality. They change every three minutes, and look really well too.
You manage to list 6 grounds "under construction", all of which aren't and don't list one that is, namely Harps.Quote:

The club also intends to apply for planning permission for the developments, which also include a Footsall area adjacent to the all-weather pitch, and grass mini-pitches behind the Station end goals, as soon as possible, in order to be in a position to draw down capital funding when it becomes available to clubs.
More here.
Is that where the blue seated stand is now? Is there spare ground behind that?Quote:

They do, if they apply for them. LOI clubs are brutal at applying for them but thats their own fault. Look at the history of grants awarded and its fairly sizeable considering most clubs haven't (hadn't) a clue what they wanted in five years time.Quote:

Construction underway on Harps new ground, its STILL on the filling stage which is frustrating as you see very little change for a few months.Quote:

Have you seen the Bowl yet? Bit of an improvement on Belfield Park, I'm sure you'll agree. Cost E1.5m or something like that. Ditto Athlone's new ground. Grants are available to do serious work if a club makes a competent application.
Not anymore they're not...Quote:

(And I know what you're going to say next. :p)
Edit - also, we've applied for planning to erect a cantilever roof to cover the whole of the stand in the Bowl.
has work started on the second stand in Tallaght yet ?
is it still realistic to expect it finished by June 2009 ?
are there also restrictions on how often Rovers can use the ground, and the maximum eventual capacity ?
I remember years ago (after actions by local residents I think)
the capacity was going to be capped at 10,000 and there was a limited number of midweek night games allowed, the number was small - would have required Rovers playing some midweek home games in another venue
anyone know if this is still the case ?
Move over Derry City.
I suppose Oxford United Stars can claim to have as much right to use the Brandywell as Derry City FC.
