Lads,
What is the story with the ground ? You knocked down that Shed, when or what are you doing for a new stand ? Has building work started ?:confused:
Were good to go with the new stand, should be completed as planned by june / july
that's great news roo - have they started yet? Have you a picture of a model of what it will look like?
No I don't have a picture o it but i have seen it, looks great ! No work has'nt started yet but i believe that it will soon enough (hopefully anyway)
What capacity will the new stand hold?Quote:

They're going to build the whole thing in a month?
It's gonna be like the one in UCD, isn't it?Quote:

The Bray People stated yesterday that we had applied for 2 stands to be built ? and one of them was to have over 1700 covered seats ?
My friend, a steward at the club, told me the "second" stand would be where the current one is and that there'd be new changing rooms in there.
And a roof? That's not happening any time soon though, is it? The area behind the existing stand was cleared ages ago for dressing rooms but that was as far as it got.Quote:

South and west???
In fairness, if UCD were building a new stand, I'd rather it were somewhat better than the one we have! I think that was the way the post was intended, not as an insult.

hold the f**k on a minute there mate but i don't think your in any position to slag as bray have UNarguably the worst ground in the premier league and one if the worst in the eircom league. that shed is an absolute joke, and for f**k sake you need to bring about five jackets to keep yourself warm on a good night there
As opposed to the central heating system in Bellfield.:rolleyes:
Is Belfield cold? Never noticed before, to be honest.Quote:

Regi doesnt go to college, he barely managed to finish school. Now he spends his time going through various different forums pointing out spelling and grammar mistakes in the same way as a 2nd class school teacher would correct copy books at the weekend. Dont judge him :o
The stand will be finished in 11 weeks as they need to get the equipment in for england, which is where th company is from as well. but the first thing have to do is widen the pitch on the dug out side as the pitch is not wide enough, then move the flood lights back and then the stand will be hopefully built.
The planning application says the decision due date is 21st June - you have to allow four weeks after that for potential appeals.Quote:

Think you're being optimistic in expecting anything before the end of the season
I checked the timescale on the 2002 (it wasn't 2001) application.
The application on 14th March was not adjudicated on by An Bord Pleanala until 30th October.

I really don't know, do they even know what they are doing? I don't think so.
Just looking at this post and decided to bring it back up, the foundation work has started on the new stand.Quote:

Thats if there are no hold ups with the materials etc....
The 2nd part of the application is for a smaller stand which will go at the bowling alley end of the ground, this is a little further down the line though, most likely next season.
No offence to the Bray lads but I gladly welcome the fact that I will never have to visit the Carlisle Grounds again in its current fashion. It seems you have to end up with either hypothermia or sun stroke after a trip to Bray!
Ever hear of suncream??Quote:

I wouldn't bring it to the Arctic in the middle of December - why would I bring it to Bray? :confused:Quote:

Suncream and Ireland full stop don't go together !
Cmon you can't blame the club for the crappy weather.
Just re-read this now.Quote:

Do ya reckon ? I personally don't think Belfield is any better but thankfully both clubs have been given grants to try and sotr some of the problems out.
