Dont mind Bishopstown, were we are is perfect... in the few years the cork city dump is goin to be turned into parks n playin fields, when the gas has been extracted and it covered over... isnt there a possabilty that corks new stadium could be built there

..im sure city can sort sumthin with the council..there's even room for the training facilities... i mean luk the sh*ty dutch team we played, there stadium was very impressive and in sum wild life park so y cant city investigate this possibility... i mean we dont even own the cross..

NEC are over 100 years old and have been in the dutch top division for the majority of it. ****e they are not.

we are 20 years old, and average a league gate of about 4000. the initial cost of the stadium is one thing, but the costs of running an empty 15,000 seater stadium would nearly kill us. again.
