It and indeed Turners Cross are both looking well. Turners Cross, at this stage, reminds me of both the North Stand and Alex Russell (Kop) Stand during construction.Quote:

I think thats hook line & sinker ;)Quote:

Last time i was there we were the Cork "hardcore" gathered for most of last seasons games.
Will we be back down that end or the opposite end of the stand?
Will the shed be taken back by the Commandos etc?
in fairness it's beginning to look the part. if we had 22 grounds like that we wouldn't be doing too bad as a league. supposedly terryland's proposed new stand is similar in style to the 'new shed end' so here's hoping that planning permission etc comes through soon and let works begin!Quote:

Conor, I don't know how things will pan out yet.
There's talk of a roof going on the St. Anne's end so that would be better for the Commandos, in my opinion.
The deconstruction took a while but the construction was quite quick, considering the bad weather and the Christmas break. About 3 months to get to this stage.Quote:

Also what'll the new seating cacpacity be? (probably been answered a thousand times before, if so sorry!)Quote:

Turners Cross would be a good venue for the 2007 FAI Cup Final. The seated capacity must be up to 8,000 at this stage.
I think the official capacity will be 7,000 odd.
If UCD & Limerick get to the final, then Turners Cross might suffice.
You'd have room for 6,945 neutrals then. :D
seated cap. in Dalyer = 8,000! Why bother moving the game all the way down to Cork?Quote:

Turners Cross looks fine apart from that terrible small stand where the pics are being taken from. It's also the stand that the tv cameras face. The cameras look right over it during games, ruins the whole look. I take it space is fairly tight on that side?
What facilities are going in behind the stand apart from dressing rooms?
Bar?
No bar. Sooner CCFC buy the Horseshoe the better. Unsure of the full plans. They're on the website.
I do know the necessary uefa rooms for drug-testing etc are in there along with some form of corporate hospitality.
Yeah, the minor fact that house run the length of the stand may have some bearing on matters.Quote:
