Yeah I agree, the multicolour seats look awful in random patches. Would look alot better in green and white even though its not owned by Rovers, do they not think it would look better as a ground with at least a pattern of colouring??Quote:

Great to see. Its a ground that the league can be proud off. Im green with envy and id say its a great buzz to be heading to that ground every second week. Best of luck with it.
I didnt rate the actual playing surface when we played up there a while back, thought the grass was abit long and awful, it will be a hell of a stadium once the new stand is up and running? WIll there be home fans based in the new stand too or will it just be for away fans(I know it will never be full if just for away fans)
RTE are still refusing to use the new purpose-built TV gantry at Terryland. Instead, they plonk their camera in the new pressbox of the new stand. Originally, RTE were invited to make suggestions for the design of the new TV gantry and in fact, it was built to their exact specifications.
It is important that LOI grounds are best shown in their best light but RTE aren't playing ball.
I noticed that the TV cameras have moved in the Showgrounds. They have moved over to the other side of the ground which portrays the the newer stand in Sligo which looks very impressive on MNS.
It makes me wonder why the RTE cameras operate from the newer stand at Cork City? The other side of the ground looks crap on TV.
We have always had a gantry above the shed apart from the year we "won" the promotion/relegation playoff but we didnt have any live games that season. The following season we had a roof put on the shed and a gantry put in place above it and it was used by both the club and by either TV3 or RTE for any of our live games to date. It faces the main stand. I think they try to get them to face the main stands as in Richmond it faces the covered stand, Dalymount it faces the big long covered stand etc etc.
When's work on SF's ground starting?Quote:

The pepperoni pizza slice will challenge the Mon Dog at Monaghan for the best food at a LOI stadium.
Monaghan have a stadium?
More a field than a stadium!Quote:

Yep, Youth Development Centre, with how many bars???
"The plans include an indoor pitch, a futsal pitch, a gym along with a bar and function room"
I know.
The Development is key to the future funding of the club so the commercial side of the development will be considerable. I think they are considering closing the Lilywhite Lounge moving the bar to the new development and extending the dressing room area in the main stand..
Good to see. All the best with it.
The Shed?Quote:

STADIUM WORK TO RECOMMENCE SHORTLY
On a separate front, shareholders also received an update on the Stadium project.*They were advised that while initial groundworks had progressed, that same had stalled over the last month or two while some legal documentation required by the Chief State Solicitor was being prepared.*The documentation is required to enable the first drawdown of grant funding approved by the Department.*Shareholders were advised that the paperwork was well advanced in this regard, and positive news on this front would be expected shortly.
Diggers are back and work has started again on the new Finn Park.
Good to hearQuote:

Hard to say exactly but I think the aim would be 2 more seasons where we are and then move, that sort of timescale.
Significantly less than would fit between the stand and the pitch at the RSCQuote:

Im just glad work has started again, it was worrying there for a while.

Great stuff from Bohs,Future is bright and their worries are over.New home and a playing budget that will eclipse us all,who would have thought all that they had to do was hand over the deeds of Dalymount to a company in recievership and when said company cant complete deal just take them back and sell the lot to another developer in exchange for a spanky new home and monster budget.Now thats class.will shels be sharing?
thanks - great news eh? :)Quote:
