Used to be the Showgrounds when Ming was in regular attendance.
After being in St Colmans Park last night is this the highest ground in the league of ireland as the hills around the ground are quite steep! Can anyone confirm this for me pls?
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

heh heh! meant highest ground in league of ireland above sea level. Cobhs ground is quite high above the harbour the only other ground I can think of is the Brandywell. But someone in the club bar in Cobh said that Salthill devons ground is quite high as well. Considering I have never seen a thread on this before I thought it was a reasonable opportunity to ask that question!

Probably Tallaght. They're all living in cuckoo land out there.
Heard Limerick are planning a friendly on the International Space Station.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Re alltidude Finn Park Ballebofey
Richmond Park, obviously.

I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Ah Stu, that's too obvious for you mate.

I wouldn't think it's Finn Park. Drom, Salthill Devon is well up in the hills. I'd say it's probably highest up.

A bit of research tells me that Drom is 70 metres up in altitude. Finn Park is only 17 metres.
St Colmans Park is 76.20 metres.
Wexford Youths are next highest on 50.61 metres.
Longford Town, 49.24 metres.
Athlone Town, 41.60 metres.
Drogheda, Hunky Dory Park is 36.65 metres.

The walk up to Coleman's Park from Cobh village is torture.
Going by that website Nigel, the cemetery side of the Brandywell pitch is roughly 3 metres higher than the Lecky Road side. I know our pitch ain't flat, but surely it's not that bad?
For once maybe someone will call me "sir" without adding "you're making a scene."
In fairness horton, I'd well believe it. Heard stories of just how bad the slant is from different players before.

agree with you adamd164 thats why I set a thread up! I am very surprised the Brandywell is not in the top five. what height is it nigel do you know? Cobh I was not too surprised at all! Salthill was surprised but suppose the savage breeze up there always gives the game away!

What gives you the impression the Brandywell is so high? It's not too much higher than the level of the Foyle - which must be fairly close to sea level - at the edge of the low-lying Bogside. Creggan and the city cemetery overlooking the stadium are at much higher elevations, as is the land directly across the river on the Waterside. To give an idea, you can see the stadium with the river in the top right-hand-side of the background here:
