    It looks class in fairness, is it too soon for a poll on which is the better stadium?

    Very impressive, great progress over the last few months judging by those photos.

    Went down for a good proper look for the first time in a good while. Was very impressed, the drop at the havelock square end isnt as bad as I thought it would be. It does look very 'futuristic'. Would have a bit of concerns that it may start to look grubby after a while. Does look more than 2 months away from completion but overall cant wait, looks really compact, will certainly be a big change to the birds eye view in croker the last few years.

    great video, only question is those seats on the top tier with the bad view. Looks like there is a right bit of metal in between

    Some new photos up on the LRSDC website - http://www.lrsdc.ie/gallery/singlecategory.asp?PCID=133

    Can't say I'm too pleased with the name on the seats though....

    Ah it's only a minor blemish. Luckily you won't be able to see it when it's packed to the brim with 50,000 Ireland supporters

    The massive Aviva is incredibly tacky and really cheapens what should be a proud national stadium. Other stadiums sell naming rights (well not other national stadiums, but we all expected the FAI to stoop to that) without whoring out the ground the way they are.

    Maybe we could have a big massive bright orange Eircom logo form the centre circle as well. If even just for match-days...

    Alien Invasion???

    Is it just me or is the shape of the stadium similar to the alien spaceships in the new series of "V" - Oh No - we get a world-class coach and then a world-class stadium - the invasion has begun!!!

    I like it but have already heard it referred to as the 'bed pan' stadium and the 'foot spa' stadium

    Isn't just the FAI involved with this. In fact they'd have come into the deal as minor partners

    yeah, it looks like a bed pan to me. I've pointed it out to a few people, and now it's all they can see when someone shows them a photo of it
