The green area is outside the perimeter wall and is an unused laneway owned by Iarnrod Eireann. It would be ideal if the club could purchase 'Joes Field' the other side of the laneway and the lane itself. The railway's need for it is gone since the bottling plant at Macardle Moore closed. If the chance arose to get Hiney Park back then it could be connected to Joes Field and would be a nice big parcel of land to have. To expand properly the YDC side the YDC would either need to be incorporated in to a new build or be demolished and start fully from scratch. There is plenty of space to extend the main stand the length of the pitch (this was originally phase one of 3 when build in the 60s). To do a decent job behind the town goal the additional land would need to be acquired. Behind the Carrick Rd goal there is plenty of space for an away stand or c1000 capacity while sill leaving acces to the YDC.
