I think Flancare would get A standard. Terryland probably too.
The English FA have set criteria for non league stadiums eg. http://www.thefa.com/Leagues/Nationa.../GroundGrading
What grade would each club get?
I think Cork City would get grade A with Shamrock Rovers, Limericks Thomand, Old ground prob e standard and Prob Sligo, not sure about the rest.
Tolka has most of whats needed but im sure it would fail something and prob end up as b rated
pitch size is the only concern for Cork. anyone know the dimensions?

Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Some interesting specifications listed there. Would agree Turners Cross and Tallaght would easily be rated A.
I think any other LOI ground that has hosted a European game (first two rounds) over the last 10 years would also probably be rated B, but I would rate UEFA to be a higher standard than the FA in terms of specifications.
I saw a list of the UEFA items previously to host a Europa League match. I think there were at least 50 basic items, and loads of these are 'hidden' items like having a back up generator for the lights, tele communication standards, height of dugouts, car parking, the list went on and on.

#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), only Irish club to win a game / points in Europa League Group Stage (2016).
The Grade A in that list are the same sort of guidelines that the League of Ireland Premier Division should have, and should enforce.
The First Division should all have similar to Grade B minimum.
Would simply make the league a slightly more attractive place to watch football at least.

Tolka is hole. Should be bombed.
Sporting F*ck All!
Any chance of correcting the title? Looks silly.
