To your credit you're more interested in important stuff.

Like football

Quite a few EL grounds that I have not been to but what would you class as better than Dalymount. I would say it is probably the best out of those that I have been at.

The Jodi is a great stand, but the rest of the stadium is in an awful state. You obviously haven't had the "pleasure" of having to use the jacks in the Connaught Street side for an evening kick off!

Never actually been in it for a game. Have used the excellent social facilities on a few occasions and played in a 5-a-side competition there in December. Where would you class as better?

Right this is going to be painfull.... Turners Cross for one. Tolka would be a better overall ground.

Never been to Turners Cross. I would disagree about Tolka to be honest, I thought it was in an awful state when we played in the Setanta final there.

Flancare is a grand ground as well. Would be even better if they covered a bit more of it.

The problem with Dalymount is that it's too big. I know that sounds stupid but unless its for a really big game the crowd looks lost in it.

Tolka and Turners Cross have the benefit of being much more compact.

Agree totally about Longford. We were fortunate in that the weather was ok when we were there but I don't fancy being there when it is raining. If it was covered it would be a great wee stadium and the perfect size.
