Main Stand is facing to the east. Had a good look at it this morning and looking from the side the roof covers about 60% of the seating area.

Looks good, its about 18-20 rows so yeah? .... looks lovely to be fair. If there is ever another goal end stand build onto the end of it it will look and sound brilliant.

If Rovers were to qualify for Europe would they have to play in the RDS aswell or will Tallaght be suitable?

Tallaght Stadium will be fully Uefa compliant.

The roof structure now covers the length of the Anne's End at Turner's Cross. I'd expect it to be finished by our home game to UCD next week.

hate to admit it, but this will be the most beautiful stadium of any eh "code" in Ireland when finished. Looks like the kind of class stadia you see in Switzerland and Austria. The flats behind it just add to the atmosphere.

and just think...the Thomas Davis Bogball Mullahs thought they had a genetic birthright to this.

Insane and facists. Have they paid up yet?

Tallaght Stadium looking brill I must say.

Kildare County have a new stand in place, looking well I think, about 500 seats in it I would guess.

Any photos?

**brianw82** · 20/09/2008, 10:38 AM

Is Rovers' stadium going to have a name, or is it just 'Tallaght Stadium?'

**billydoneit** · 20/09/2008, 10:40 AM

Agree Tallaght looks fantastic. I'm sure this has been posted before but can anyone summarise for me the full plan for the ground and timeline. Are plans in place for the other three sides? Great memories of listening out with my Dad for the hoops european scores years ago.............

Thats great. Thats gone up fairly fast. Any photo's?

**Kildare Lad** · 20/09/2008, 5:49 PM

Dont think there is any photos on the website yet. Its just a stand that was clipped together so was able to be put up within a few days.

No it is like the temporary seating you get at concerts the stuff that is on scaffolding. It is uncovered

Limerick on course to build a great big training centre: http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2008/...imerick37.html

They got that story from the Irish Times today.
There is way more to it than that, as the owner will be lobbying the FAI & Government for grants. He is not as rich as people may think and he wouldn't be able to fund this developement.
With the current Irish financial crisis and government tightening their belts and FAI facing a deadline for payments over Landsdown I can't see this deal going through for a long time to be honest.
