Any word yet Ray on when the roof is going on?

Don't have a date or anything, but it is supposed to be pretty soon.
Lads would i be right on saying, going on ur plans for your new stadium that the roof does not cover all the seated areas of that stand?
You would be right gael. However the front of the stand is east facing, so the amount of rain that you would get from there would be pretty minimal. Most of it will come in at a slant from the back.
Thank u afconline, i wasnt slangging your stand or anything in fact i think it will be one of the better ones in the country. So many stands have been built in the last few years which belong in the lesser leagues of england in the 1970's. Its like the GAA spending millions on bringing their stadiums from the 20's into the early 80's (see limericks gaelic grounds, paric ui coimh, galway etc) and seeing it as progression. Any stand built with good eleveation (for viewing comfort) no visual obstructions such as floodlights or upright beams (jackman park has 20 :confused: floodlight poles at time of typing) and coverd seating (st annes end turners X anyone?) get those few things right and you've got a good stand. I can mame bad ones and why they are bad if anyone has an opinion on one or all. But well done athlone
there was a bit on yv3 sport at 6.30 just a while ago it might be no later on sports tonight
Was on the atfc website and there's a couple of news articles on the stadium that say click on tumbnails below, but there are no pictures below, thought i'd let you know!
Are you sure you let the page load fully? There are 16 thumbnail pics below the text.
Yare stadium looks unreal. How much did it cost and what will its capacity be when its finished????
That stand that you see being built will hold 2000. When the rest of the ground is finished in 2009 it will be a 6000 capacity all seater.
Plus there will be an admin block as well in the stadium grounds
Just had a look at the pics on Athlones website. Very impressive indeed and fair play to the club and all involved.
Yeah I'm sure. Can see all the other images on the page, no tumbnails what so ever! :(Quote:

Just put a panorama up here.
It's about half a meg big, so bear that in mind if you're on dial up.
Cheers, looks great.Quote:
