Is the post of the month competition still running? This is about the most perfect post you could ever get to sum up Corkie internet fans.

A roof on the opposite side to the stand was on the plans too last I heard but plans are a great thing.

My mistake sorry about that i havnt been there in awhile due to us being in a diff div so sorry about that.

We do need a new shed. even if the old one was open it's outdated and too small. wont happen for another 10 years i'd say.

mate im not slagging off anyone im giving my opinion on grounds, which i do believe is the porpose of this thread. The jinks ave stand you say isnt great but better then other then what other grounds have, that just shows the level of quality in the league, ie not very good at all.

Maybe they have the inside track on the result of the vote at Congress this weekend.

I heard the overseas delegate votes could be vital

I said it before and I'll say it again. If I were a Corkman(which I'm not Thank God) I would be sitting in front of a computer all day trying to keep up with the rest of the country.

P.S. don't fret the Celtic Tiger should reach you lot fairly shortly. Then maybe you'll do something that fcuking awful smell.

The Carlisle Grounds are always freezing because they are so close to the sea. Summer soccer has not changed that. A roof on the all seater stand might help though.
