The following was in the Dundalk programme for the Cork game:
"We are currently embarking on a project to upgrade Oriel Park to a much higher standard with the installation of new floodlighting, a wheelchair accessible section, and improved facilities at the away section of the ground.
We are currently employing an architect to draw up plans on our proposal to extend the main stand."
That's terrific news, great to see clubs investing in facilities for fans.
Finn Park 2 starting to resemble Tallaght stadium of 10 years ago.

SDCC installed six new drains in Tallaght Stadium over the summer break, presumably to address to flooding issues that have been becoming more common over the past few months.

Wouldn't happen on a FIFA approved all-weather pitch.
The front wall of Turner's Cross was painted a few weeks back...

Pity they didn't install them before the Setanta cup finalQuote:

To be fair there is a lot more than Rovers pulling out of Tallaght, and they wouldnt have first say on improvements to the pitch, but it seems its been repaired now which is good.
I wonder if DLK will need to do anything to Oriel Park for the EL, I know the licence has been given, but a lot of the seating needs to be fixed, and obviously no standing or viewing behind the goals for this and also infront of the stand out of access too. Then again the current 3,000 seating will be more than ample for a match lilke this as it wont be in any way stretched.
What round are Dundalk approved up until?
The first two rounds. If we manage to get any further I'd guess we'd be playing in Tallaght.Quote:

Nigel has learned photoshop I see. Everybody knows LOI clubs don't invest in infrastructure. Especially in the First Division. What's the world coming to.
There's a bit of a slope on that pitch.
If the champions can have a slope then we all must have a slope.Quote:

Unclear exactly what this means, take with handful of salt until the diggers are seen

Let's hope they fix that massive slope, imagine the bounce off the ball going down thatQuote:

They've not used the paper's full proper name, so can put it in quotes. Perhaps should only be when original name is actually modified so Belfast Telegraph becomes "tele". Or your man Julian's "the utv".
A second article appeared, slightly easier to make out, gist seems to be we should expect some kind of decision/announcement in next few days rather than non specific future time frame.
Again take with unhealthy amount of salt, it is the " journal" after all.

I just thought it was quite something that in an article purporting to be an exclusive the paper's name was written that way.Quote:

I know I know. I was making a very weak joke about how the Journal appeared to not have the gumption to stand by their own "exclusive".Quote:

Anyone know what Pat's got €175,000 for under the Sports Capital Programme. Upgrades to Richmond?

Not a bad grant at all for a private company/business. Having the minister for sport as a local TD must have helped, or does Micheal Ring handle this area. What do the Mounted Games Association of Ireland do?

Funding approved as well, apparently. Will still only believe it when I see it.
