Great to see up to date pictures of the work being done at the markets field on the LEDP website. Plenty of scope for devolpment by the looks of things. The removal of the track provides ample room for terracing etc on all sides. They should be ready to seed the pitch by next week judging by the progress being made.
How many seats would it be able to have as it is
Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!
Total guess but if the one in Jackman had 250-300 (can't remember the exact number) then I'd say between 500-600.
Id be suprised if that would get a Premier licence. You have to provide designated seating for away fans too.

And two entrances/exits. I wouldn't want the job rushed just to get a half-arsed Premier license sufficient place ready.

1200 is the amount of seats youd fit on the grandstand side.
Nothin to stop you puttin up a bray wanderers stand behind the left hand goals for away fans then with home fans entering via garryowen side and away fans via markets field terrace.
Simple maths would suggest we d have a tilt at the league title if we moved in next year
Reckon it ll probably come too soon for us though
Great weather for it anyway lads. Surely get The pitch sorted anyway
Steady on!

Some more excellent photos of the ongoing developments at the Markets Field were posted up yesterday on www.ledp.ie. The drainage system seems all but finished so things are progressing nicely.
It's actually happening.

Fair play to them for keeping the public updated, even if they did use horrible grammar.
Thanks to the fantastic weekly updates on the LEDP website it can be seen that the Markets Field picth relaying is almost complete. Judging by the photos and information provided it would appear that the project is being carried out to the highest of standards with leveling, sanding and drainage etc. This week shows pictures of the roll out pitch which is being used which would indicate that the playing surface will be ready much quicker that if the surface was seeded. Therefore is it possible the stand and dressing rooms could be brought up to standard in time for the 2014 season...
I would think if the money is there then the dressing rooms and stand could be sorted fairly quick. Certainly within 4 months.
The roll out pitch looks excellent and should really give shape to the place when a pitch can be seen.
Great to see it starting to become a reality. Having finished the season strongly, there's a solid base to build off both on and off the pitch next season. Best of Luck with it
Markets Field coming along nicely, there's a good lot of grass laid and planning permission is lodged, now we'll just have to wait and see who has to object!!! Hopefully we could be there for start of next season with temp seating and portacabin changing rooms.

Pitch most likely finished being laid by the end of next week. Planning permission going in but I presume they can sort out the current stand, bar and maybe dressing rooms without planning permission.
No clue though what state the old dressing rooms would be in or if the structure of them even still exists.
One would assume that no planning permission would be needed for the main stand area. One side of the ground would surely be enough for one season. Anything with a capacity close to 2,000 should be plenty. Be better than an empty Thomond Park anyway.

is it grass or false turf thats been laid
Neither, they're just painting the mud green.
No, seriously, I believe it's real grass. Limerick fans might be able to confirm.
Ya it's real grass. Its basically that turf you can get that rolls out.
Thats three samples the ledp got to choose from.
