    I was surpirsed this took so long to appear here actually. We don't have a lease on the ground at the moment anyway which is a bit misleading compared to what we were told earlier in the year by some sources.

    That said I don't think that the situation is anywhere near as desperate as the media would have us believe. I think it will resolved one way or the other pretty soon. Personally I hope we stay put.
    The ball is round and has many surprises.

    Great potential, but lets be honest, what a sh!t hole! I mean it's a sad state of affairs when you have to be worrying about your car getting broken into/scratched/vandalised while you're at a game. A purpose built safe car park near the ground will have to be developed in the future if the club plans to stay put there. You can be sure that the ground itself will be broken into several more times in the future as well. Hogan Park has great potential if you open it up at the county side. Build a proper car park out there and a proper stand and it's a different prospect. Continuing with the current access through the housing estate just isn't going to work long term IMO.

    Ah right. Looks like it was a decent ground at some stage.

    Absolutely. But I think the club know all these things and that is why they talk about potential for development at Rathbane. Nobody thinks the ground in its current state is anywhere near acceptable for the long term.
