Its complete bull**** but il let ya continue on thinking that!
As for the ticket allocation, its 40% not 20% you will be getting.
What I heard was that Rovers would get 40% of the tickets and the cost of installing temporary seating would come out of the match day revenue.
Whether it's 25% or 40% being offered, it should be 50%, and anything Rovers can't sell should be offered to Dundalk. It's supposed to be a neutral venue. If the cost of the stand comes from matchday income, then Rovers are paying for half of a stand that Dundalk will be able to make money from for the rest of the season. It should be quite simple: if Dundalk want a temporary stand, they can pay for it. Otherwise, Rovers should be given the same allocation any other side would get at a neutral venue.
20% going to sponsors, FAI, etc. The temporary stand will facilitate more fans from both clubs being able to attend the match.
Where did you hear this bull**** mate?
So you want 50% tickets, FAI/Sponsors 20% leaving us with 30%. Is that to balance up that you have to play a final away from Tallaght?
20% to sponsors? Haha. What I want is Rovers to get the same as Dundalk and not have to pay for Oriel Park to be done up.
So, if the game was in Tallaght, the rent paid to the council would be paid by Rovers directly and not taken from the match day revenue?
No. There's a big difference between renting a stadium for an evening and paying for a new stand. If a temporary stand was put up in Tallaght for a game between Rovers and Dundalk, nobody would expect Dundalk to pay. It's not a necessary match expense. You can play the game without it. If Dundalk want more fans there they can pay for it.
Rent of a pitch vs rent of a stand? Not that much a difference to be honest,
Except you can't play a game without a pitch.
Careful now or expect comments on Rovers payment for doing up of Tallaght.
Thats what you will get. 20% FAI/Sponsors (yes thats whats happening with any untaken tickets going back to both teams allocation)
40% for Rovers
40% for Dundalk
Now Oriel will prob hold 6000 ish more so unless you are bringing more than 2500 Will be no issue over tickets to Rovers fans.
Id also put my house on no temp stand going in the carrick Road end because
A. its not needed!
B. That is a right of way to the Oriel Active building which means it cant have a stand there!
If you wanna build one the other end for us (with all your Europa league money) Feel Free
Well I think the whole point is we don't want to pay for your stand. If it's not necessary and not going to happen then there's no issue.
But you are the one who brought up this ridiculous rumour and tro be honest anyone with a bit of sense would know Dundalk wouldnt ask Rovers to pay for a stand in Oriel
It's really not that unbelievable. The club have never seen fit to put any money into upgrading the stands before so it's hardly surprising they'd try to piggy-back it on this.
The club do their best in upgrading the ground. Havnt the money to do it all up so naturally the home end will be looked after first (Eg We had no Shed for a few years) now basically the whole side is covered. Disabled facilites upgraded but hey Il let you think what you want!
Imagine if the Dundalk Council would just do it all for us while we pay them a few €'s rent every Week
'twas inevitable Charlie but you made it easy!
From watching the 2 Rovers play at HT during over game in the bars, Dundalk officials have confirmed we will not need any new stand. They will all fit in the usual end
I know I shouldn't get drawn in on this but Rovers have put far more money into Tallaght than Dundalk have in their stadium over the past decade. It's funny the stick we get from clubs who've run down their own stadiums for no other reason than we don't own a ****hole.
About 1.3million has been spent on Oriel over the last decade! For which a period of that was in the 1st division and on the brink of going out of business. With a new ground to walk in to and to maintain has hardly cost anywhere near €1mil to Rovers?
Sligo have certainly set the example of how to improve their ground without it being built by their council and keeping a team competative, something to which we aspire to.
