Yeah, so if you are allowing 400 now and more if the other stand goes in, then there must be a percentage rule ?? It seems to be in or around 5%(maths genius at wotk lol)
TBH the least of then the better,and the rule should be that the travelling fans should hold UK passports !! That will hit the barsttooling dix on Boards.ie just were it "bleddy well 'urts, the fackers"

Out of curiosity did they ever consider Tolka?
Isn't that 9k capacity?

Not that it's my beef, but surely The RDS would have made sense, especially the Sperz game...

Good luck Shams, anyway.

No can do!

200 tonnes of concrete needed for the current south structure so where's the finance for 2000 cubic metres for north end going to come from?

Thank God they've seen sense in the colour scheme for the new stand.

Christ, the main stands are absolutely horrendous.

Ill ask the question again.
Who owns the stand?
Did Sham RVS buy it or just rent it?
Will it remain up after the euro games?
And any plans in the pipe line to finish the stadium either end of the goals?
Thanks

Yes! Credit where credit is due. Pity there isn't seating, but pic of new stand is impressive. Really hope Rovers can make those nights memorable.

Obviously there's 'seating', I meant 'seating behind both goals'. I think Tallaght is a nicer stadium that the RDS anyway.

SDCC paid for it 180k, Rovers will then pay the SDCC out of gate money.
Id imagine there wont be any hurry to take it down after paying out the money.
No plans currently to finish behind the goals.

great news for the club. 3 full house games would help them no end

Hopefully it's kept well if it doesn't come down the minute after the final whistle. That end of the ground would get heavily weather beaten in the long term. Could end up like the Ballybough end of Tolka. I still remember the opening game last season against Pats standing behind that goal..

Walked by today, stand looks well. Long queues for EL tickets too.

**Jicked** · 10/09/2011, 6:54 PM

It took about 2.5/3 hours to get your tickets. Amazing scenes to see at a LoI club.

**passinginterest** · 10/09/2011, 9:43 PM

Went over about 5.15 after my match and sorted the three game ticket in the office. Nice and handy, still a few around but no queues and plenty of tickets. The queues did look impressive though. Looking forward to Thursday, should be a great night.

**fionnsci** · 12/09/2011, 9:53 AM

Were there many non-LOI people obvious? Just there for Spurs tickets?

**passinginterest** · 12/09/2011, 10:54 AM

At least one person came into the office while I was there asking about the Spurs game. I'd imagine there was a good few. They were only selling the 3 game package or tickets to the first game individually. It wasn't possible to buy for the Spurs game only.

**Stuttgart88** · 12/09/2011, 11:48 AM

Anyone know how I can get tickets for the away end at White Hart Lane?

I've been offered a pal's season ticket but would prefer to be in with the Rovers fans. A few UK-based posters from the international forum want to join me.

**pineapple stu** · 12/09/2011, 11:51 AM

Ditto on that. I assume tickets will be available on the day though as English clubs' UEFA Cup games rarely seem to sell out?

**rebelarmyexile** · 13/09/2011, 8:36 PM

Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong place, but does anyone know if any pubs in Central London might be showing Thursday's Rovers vs Kazan match?

Amy advice would be much appreciated.
