[QUOTE=A face]A ground share is what i am on about ....... why is that so hard for you to understand.

Both clubs are on the northside.
Tallaght is on the northside.
Common denominator ..... the f�cking northside.

Well ... we have established the whole northside thing.

What on earth have you been smoking? Tallaght is as much part of the Northside as Iceland is part of the Southern hemisphere!

Caolan do not include Longford and Athlone in your list of possible amalgamations. Longford have a fine stadium of their own already, and Athlone have just started on their stadium. As Shelsman said clubs have to be geographically (as in a few miles) close for a sharing option to work out.

The land belongs to the people of Dublin. If its worth millions, then its worth millions to to the people of Dublin. If they give money to Shels, then they would have to to do the same for all soccer clubs in Dublin, at every level. In the commercial world, Shels would have to buy themselves out of the lease.

But the point is that the DCC would sell the land for a $hitload and so it would be benficial to get Shels' lease out of the way so that they can sell now and not in 60-odd years' time.

Alright ... you can tell i am not native of Dublin town, fair enough. But i still think that ground share for Dublin clubs is a must if they ever want to get Joe public into the grounds. Tolka and Dalymount are the best grounds and neither are up to scratch. Until club co-operate then it will stay this way.

First it would have be re-zoned.
Not too sure if locals would want a load of apartments there.
The land is prone to flooding. While this can be got around, the water would have to go somewhere else, so again locals or anybody close to the Tolka ( Meath etc) might object to re-zoning.

I see others have got to you A_FACE before i did !!

You really should not post things when you know **** all about the topic you are posting about...
It makes you look very childish..

In terms of tolka moving to tallaght as you suggest

It may be quicker for you to get to RSC in waterford from turners cross then it would be to get out to tallaght sometimes!!!

Do you know any details of the current rovers stadium and why there have been delays ? do you know what capacity the stadium can be set to ? do you know what night they are allowed play? do you know many shels fans that would like to ground share with rovers?....

Do you know anything about this toipic or are you just bored?

It almost sounds like you want the move to fail.

OK, so if the rest of the clubs stay small time then Shels must too????

Give us a break, this is petty, stupid talk

Go and re read my post FFS. I said if Shels and Bohs got the go ahead with the FAI to build a stadium in Abbotstown it would put the rest of the E.L at a disadvantage. I.E none of the rest of the E.L clubs would avail of a site and money from the FAI.

Has anyone an idea what Shels are going to build or is it going to be another piece of **** stadium ?

childish .... ahem ..... why ?? Why childish ??

Point taken .... BUT i told you already .... i got it wrong. So Tallaght is not a possiblity. But a ground share should be considered. This is my point ..... It doesn't matter what ground ....... any ground will do. Just as long and punters dont have to go to crumbling hovels to see a game of footie.

You cant blame the guy on the street for not supporting the league. Most grounds are sh�tholes.

Do you know any details of the current rovers stadium and why there have been delays ? do you know what capacity the stadium can be set to ? do you know what night they are allowed play? do you know many shels fans that would like to ground share with rovers?....

Spot the Shels fan ..... Money,6000,not sorted yet but yeah i know the story,you'll answer that one for us.

Do you know anything about this toipic or are you just bored?

I'm not allowed an opinion now, fair enough

No Not la all

Trying to be realistic.

It might be an advantage for people to see the negatives as well. If people think your going to get millions for your lease in Tolka, they might not put money into the club/stadium. Most people probably think Shels are awash with money at the moment( which I wouldn�t think is the case). That�s probably making it hard for you to fundraise.
