The idea that insurance companies are goinga round looking at football pitches is gas.Quote:

The story is a nonsense
Agreed, if it was the case then most junior teams in the country wouldn't be allowed play football anymore.Quote:

(It does sound like a nonsense story, though).
Our friendly against them which was originally scheduled for tomorrow in Dalymount has been moved to Blanchardstown IT on Saturday. Didn't hear of any particular reason.
How bad does a pitch have to be before an insurance company pulls the plug? Are there needles on the grass or something?
That's Richmond Park..sorry Pats fans, open goal.
I support the lads in the green jumpers.Quote:

Bohs played Cobh in the 19's on Sunday in Dayler.
Would it not all be the 1 insurance??
If Terryland's pitch got insurance a few years back when it looked like a mountain range then I'm sure Dalymount is ok
The problem is down to unaccounted for water leaking from a pipe in Dalymount Lane according to my (water) source.
Sounds a logical reason for the problem anyway.
What's your beef with physio fees?Quote:

I am surprised Dalymount hasn't been condemned already. The place is a crumbling death trap. The School End will shut in the next year or so leaving just one side of the ground open.
The story is believable as they have cancelled two pre season friendlies on it.
Dozens of clubs have called off pre-season friendlies so far. That's irrelevent. They played an u19s game there last weekQuote:
