Looks very well pitch like a billiard table it's more than a good start in fairness upgrade it bit by bit
Hopefully the first upgrade will be steps/terracing on the popular side.Quote:

Would be a grand ground with terracing on the far side alright, I'll not be mad about sitting in that stand, with the 20 odd bars accross the front. Roof on the away bit is great, didn't know that was happening!Quote:

Great that a roof is going on the away stand. I agree with you about the terracing. That would be the place to watch a match. I don't fancy the main stand, too many obstructing supports.Quote:

Really hope so - steps designed for seating down the line - the level ground instead of a sloping bank is going to be a bit annoying.Quote:

Tell you what, pillars aside, there's some view from that main stand.

Truth be told when the game is on and the ball is moving ya won't notice the pillars, I remember the old stand in Terryland park, between roof supports and floodlights had 13. Yes 13... pillars to watch through.... unless you sit right behind the posts it'll be fine... Great to see progress like that at Limerick.... credit where it's due... well done to all concerned
I agree, there used to be 8 posts in the way in oriel - a proper pain as there were 2 rows of posts supporting the canopy of the stand. It was a big improvement when reinforcing work happened at roof level to allow one row to be removed, the remaining posts werent noticed then but then anything was better than the previous obstruction of view. Markets field is looking like a good fit for purpose ground which can be developed further as needs necessitate. Best of luck to Limerick with this and a solid home to rebuild a fanbase from!
Dunno, I can't stick the stand in the CCS personally, total pain in the arse having any sort of obstructed view.
Great crowd at the match tonight, unlucky not to and a real pity they didn't get a draw.
edit: ha, they're playing 'The only way is up' on the PA system now.
Per RTE web site, Dublin City Council have confirmed purchase.of
Dalymount.
Shels out of the picture.
Saving the stadium for community use after our catastrophic previous dealings, is a great way to mark our 125 years.
Looking forward to a decent pitch and a re developed stadium.
You now will have so much in common with your kin in Tallaght you can become best pals! Fellow council tenants in arms! Only in Ireland can a club pish away grant money for a ground and have the tax payer finish it off, or borrow up to the neck to the tune of tens of millions only for the tax payer to save the day. Ireland and Real Madrid I suppose. Can we all claim that a precedence has been set and start asking for local government to fix up all our stadia - like we do have the worst away section in the league!!
Bohemians are selling a piece of land for what is quite possibly much less than what it is worth on the open market and relinquishing ownership rights in order to stay in dalymount and have some redevelopment..... I'm not sure how having something to sell and selling it is the same as spending grant money.
Ok Dundalk Municipal District, you can have Oriel Park for nothing and redevelop the place for our use, great deal for you as Bohs sold Dalymount for less that its market value!!
Oriel is in private ownership , Dundalk FC don't have a say as to what happens the ground.It would be great if Louth CC could buy it and develop itQuote:

Yep , clash of the public authority tenants next Friday, sponsored by the New Land League.Three F's for all!
As I understand it, Oriel is held in trust for football in Dundalk. The club pay for upkeep and develop and can use it commercially, same as Sligo's Showgrounds.Quote:

Beating Rovers next week and saving the hay, would make it a perfect June.
Well unless the developer is on DCC he couldn't rezone the land either. In this day and age, nobody is going to pay commercial prices for recreationally-zoned land.
Yep, nobody in their right mind, but we're talking about developers here.Quote:

Don't be daft. He's notoriously private. He won't name it after himself. Emma English Park is what I heard.Quote:

Probably another stand opposite the Jodi with a similar capacity.
There will be nothing done behind the goals initially, just like Tallaght. A capacity of around 5/6,000 should be sufficient for Bohs. A general clean up by clearing the areas behind each goal is all you could expect. Think along the lines of the Derry City redevelopment.
I can't see a huge amount of money being allocated after that.
You won't see a nice all seated 10,000 stadium, with our politics, it would just be lost in red tape, black tape...........we all know how it goes!
:confused:
Good Luck to Bohs, hope it turn out to be a little Gem of a stadium, god knows the league needs better stadiums
In terms of the site size, there would be scope for a much bigger stand than the Jodi on the opposite side. I'd expect you could get a higher capacity than it or other features over there.
I take it the entire unused terrace behind the shops is going to retail? There has to be some access space left there, look odd if its a wall or building just a next to the pitch
These days you need enough access or space to exit the stadium safely too which will mean smaller stands. The ally way at the back of the Connaught road stand is very narrow.
The very reason why Casement Park in Belfast is facing planning problems (that and local opposition )Quote:

I'd like to think it could be pushed closer to a 15k stadium to cater for the likes of cup finals and less appealing international fixtures that wouldnt sell-out the Aviva. It would also help do away with a cup finalist playing at 'home' unless Bohs and Rovers meet - then a move to the Aviva (or Turners Cross for the laugh) is possible.
It'd be 1/5 empty for 20 other games a year though. It'd be like expanding Tallaght to 20k when realistically we never go over 5k.Quote:
