No. Plan is a grass pitch. Given the improvements in such pitches and the potential to increase footfall in the ground (local schools, leagues, etc) I would not be against it.

Hopefully Cobh draw Sligo (and beat them....no offence Sligo ) for a club like Cobh to get to a final might give them a boost that they badly need.
We played Monaghan in 2010 final and they were gone under 2 years later.
Don't know where the 67 came from, I counted 188 the other night, for what it's worth I counted 292 (albeit a lot of kids) on Saturday night from where I was behind the goal by the bar.
Either way appalling crowds. As I've said before there is a group of people who never forgot what went on in the club 10 years or so ago who now refuse point blank to support the club. Also the fact that Cobh wanderers did well last year with an all local side albeit entirely ex Ramblers players and it all adds up. There's one or two other factors too that I won't mention here that contribute as well.
''and I for one welcome our new insect overlords''
Was that the League Cup or the League?
No more that 700 in Markets Field.
Official attendance 900 and something in Bray Would say that was the lowest Bray support I have ever seen there
2134 Dundalk v Sligo
2,349 in Tallaght.
About 400 or so from Waterford.
And at that I’d say 2000 home fans is generous. A lot of season tickets counted who didn’t show up I would imagine. Looked very empty.
Talking to a Rovers fans seemingly a section of supporters staying away until Bradley is sacked.
Counted 564 in Markets Field so in or around that.
Things havent gone the way of early season hype but hardly worthy of a boycott! More likely that the floating fan types are not bothering with going to games unless in contention as would be the way with every club in a mid table mediocrity spell.
The project is a 2 or 3 year plan of building up a young side under a young manager that would compete in due course so patience was always going to be needed by supporters. Bradley misjudged his media comments undoubtedly which may have caused a mixed message and upped expectations but with young players, a batch of new signings, key injury it was only ever going to be on the fringe of a European spot without some luck in a managers first full season with his own players. That Waterford have unexpectedly come in so strongly, Derry after a difficult season were likely to be pushing in to the top 3 and even make a title challange, the cup final nature of derbies of which there are 8 and can go against any form guide, maybe losing top young lad to international call-up for 3 or 4 games. Once Mannus comes in in July all will be well again and after O'Brien's red card there'll be a crack down on keeping discipline issues. Rovers fans should keep the faith as high turnover of managers never does any good!!
Didn't see any figure from Tolka Park yet but looked around 700-ish to me. About 60-70 Harps fans.

Less than 100 in Wexford last night
845 at Terryland for United v UCD.
