You're in the wrong forum, and there are eight million threads on this already.

Add that to the fact that the Rovers fans have boycotted this forum, despite the fact that they're accounts aren't being deleted, even at their own requests and it's a very pointless post.

Same as,

I been in touch with most of the Hoops I know but to all the rest I don't enjoy it.

I remember visiting the site in January 2002. To see it come to fruition is superb.Can't wait to see it in person in two weeks time.

It's been a long road lads, party like its 1989 tomorrow night:D

Football comes to Tallaght-fornia

On this most proud day for your club, can I just say congrats to Shamrock Rovers, enjoy the occasion and welcome 'home'.
I hope the Mods don't move this thread as, while it is aimed at Rovers fans, at the same time it is a proud day for the WHOLE league to see what is historically the country's greatest club finally get somewhere to lay their hat once and for all.

EDIT - oops, saw another thread already opened - and moved - on this issue, sorry

What's the boycott about?
BTW... [politics] good luck to Rovers in Tallaght. Glad it was retained for football against the forces of darkness[/politics]

[football] Can't wait to recreate those Tolka moments of late and see that nice new stand silenced mid Butterc... [/football]

the irony now is that Thomas Davis is broke and Thomas Humpries is soon to be homeless.

Fair play to Rovers and SDCC.

I'm kind of hoping there'll be something referring to the old 'Last Man Standing' thing on display at the game tonight. :)

Good luck to the Rovers. What will the capacity be when the stadium is finished?
13/03/2009, 4:45 PM
Martinho II

believe when the other stand is opened later in the year it will bring the capacity up to 7000 capacity..

Watching on my laptop in London. Looks fantastic. Lump in my throat watching.

Hope the Rovers fans remember how supportive Sligo were on the last day at Milltown.

It was broadcast live on the RTE website, they put the Dundalk-Bohs game up so am sure they will put the Rovers on up, just keep an eye on it. Also you can watch MNS every week on the website.

We do and we did fittingly at the game tonight as Sligo fans present will testify.

Nothing too special about the ground. Nice stand, nothing else. It would look well with terrace at both ends and will be good when the other stand is built.

Any plans for stands behind the goals?

Whats planned for the second stand? Clone of the current? Or some form of permanent-prefab like Pats/Bray have?

The latter don't last. The South Stand in Withdean (Brighton's temporary ground) is a permanent prefab stand, designed and implemented by a major stadium builder (McAlpine) and after a decade the boarding appears to be starting to come apart - its a hairy experience squeezing past others to get to a mid-block seat!

Have to say it was a great night in Tallaght. The whole event was extremely well managed, the club shop is fantastic, the view from the stand is top class, the atmosphere was charged, emotional and very tense at times, I felt lucky to be there and I hope the great spirit and friendliness of the occasion can be carried into the future. It'll be a fantastic ground when the second stand is completed and if the ends ever get finished it'll be a top class stadium.

Clone of the first stand minus the ancillary facilities, containing the shop, function rooms etc.

Clown

I'm talking from a supporters point of view. I don't care about corporate facilities. Of course the pitch is in great condition, it hasn't been used much yet. Wasn't in the club shop so can't comment on that.

I'd rather the Showgrounds, Turners Cross and Dalymount over it.
