Temporary stand now confirmed for oriel park. Going in behind 'away goal' and will be in place for the EA Sports Cup Final.
Should be available for last 3 league games, personally I'd leave it in place until we play in Europe next season, but there will probably be planning and access restrictions.
Surely there's some way to make it one of those temporary permanent structures, ala Bray and Wexford.Quote:

Dalymount to get done up and Shels to move in?
http://www.independent.ie/sport/socc...-30601603.html
I have always loved our dear and benevolent leader and feel that the level of remuneration he receives, is not alone justified but actually less than he deserves. All hail to the Delaney!
So let me get this right. Bohs and shels get a new ground, no debt and almost rewarded for their financial mismanagements and poor leadership ala Rovers
Wouldn't be surprised if the FAI and/or the Council end up owning the new Dalymount and renting it to Bohs and Shels.Quote:

You'd think after Gareth Kelleher helped the FAI pay off some of their debts they would have given us the free stadium.
Dalymount is the "soul of Irish football".
It would annoy me if Bohs and Shels benefited from their attempt to destroy LOI football over the last twenty years. However, I would stomach it, if it meant Dalymount was saved and restored to being a stadium fit for it's legacy.
I'd agree 100% with this. I know we're all partisan football fans, and we don't want any of our competitors getting an edge, but Dayler needs to be saved, and it needs to be restored. It should be the premier League of Ireland stadium in this country.Quote:

Would love to see Dalymount done up. Properly fixed up, it has the potential to host international friendlies once more. Farcical games like Oman would be much better served in front of a packed out 10,000 capacity Dalyer than an empty Aviva. Couple of million quid could make it into a superb ground once more.
I won't believe it's happening until I see the plans.
Plans? Along with planning permission, they have been used to fudge licences for some clubs for years.Quote:

Don't think its right that 2 clubs should benefit and the rest of the clubs get nothing. How about spreading out the money and giving each club something for stadium development instead?
Do you need to wait for an answer to that?Quote:

If the FAI are paying off the debt then i hope they take a majority stake in Dalymount. The FAI/MFA ownership of Turners Cross has been very beneficial for Cork City in the long run. FAI could help make the pitch playable, improve facilities (mostly for away fans) and held League Cup final, U21 games there.Quote:

And for all those budding architects, here's the detailed drawings.
It should be rebranded as Delaneymont Park.Quote:

Others more au fait with the system would be better able to comment on the process. But my understanding is that's it out to public consultation, and a decision should now be expected before christmas (maybe even this christmas). After that it's anyone guess, but it's council and they have money, they'll want to break ground asap.
There is 3 phases to the plan. DCfC and DCC have only got the funding for phase 1 only. That consists of moving the greyhound track to the showgrounds making health and safety improvements to Southend Pk stand and to build a 947 seater stand with changing rooms bar and hospitality facilities plus a 3 or 4G pitch. Phase 2 still needs funding and approval ( that wont happen in my lifetime )Quote:

Hogan Park is a better option on more or less every level at the moment.
Let the LEDP have their crappy little schools rugby ground, they could be gettin lucky, with the way the wind is blowing they'll be able to rent it to Munster rugby for their cider shield games.
Hogan Park? Seriously?
We put up with Jackman. The Market's Field can't be worse.
Things Hogan Park has this minute that the markets field doesn't:
New dressing rooms.
Space for three temporary stands.
Floodlights.
A Football pitch.
A complete lack of clueless quango fodder like the boys over the markets field "stadium".
This minute if you're leaving Thomond it's an absolute no contest. Hogan Park wins hands down.
I think that I've been to all of the grounds used by Limerick City, Limerick United, Limerick 37 and Limerick FC. (except Thomond)
Is Hogan Park the same as Rathbane?
Funnily enough, just before Delaney's comments about the Dalymount revamp, I'd been making plans to visit both Tolka and Dayler to do a photo shoot.
They're in worse nick than I expected, but great places to ponder about in.
Just finished sifting through my Tolka photos if anyone would like a look.
