Belfield Park is below acceptable standards anyway. It makes little odds if we move there and it takes a few months to get it up to speed.

Any comment on the quality of playing surface at the Bowl? I always remember Belfield Park as being one of the best.
Well back when I was covering the rugby club for the college paper myself and the other writers referred to it as 'very much a home pitch'.
This means plenty of bumps etc. Not the finest surface going and the wear and tear of the AIL season, not to mention some of the more important U20 and J1 games will make for a poor surface in the early part of the season or the backend.
That said apparently it was in good nick for the football tournaments that were held there during the summer which means that it could be decent for the bulk of the season.

"Poor" is relative...Hahahahaha. Just saw this now. POOR Student is from Terenure!!
Like I once said to an engineer from the County Council; I might not be an expert in these things but I'm familar with the concept of something being lower down than something else and there being gravity. I call it the 'puddle effect'.
But the bowl is near enough to Brady's house that no rain dare fall there. As it says in the college prospectus, "And here things still grew, harsh, twisted, bitter, struggling for life. In the glens of the Morgai on the other side of the valley low scrubby trees lurked and clung, coarse grey grass-tussocks fought with the stones, and withered mosses crawled on them; and everywhere great writhing, tangled brambles sprawled. Some had long stabbing thorns, some hooked barbs that rent like knives."

Just for the record John83 is not the online version of Emmet Ryan, The Belfieldian or any other related parties and does not speak for them.

I don't think the Belfieldian ever plagiarised Tolkien, so we should be safe.

Anyone hear anything about this? The decision date was supposed to be yesterday but it still ends decision to be made by 11-10-06.
Have texted but heard nothing back yet. Though my phone's been off most the time as my battery's dead and my charger appears banjaxed for some reason.
Given that Brady's house is near the Bowl , and that he is the EVIL ONE, there cannot possibly be rain on the Bowl, this much is true !
AFAIK the first house on the right as you head out of UCD (its garden borders UCD) is owned by the Swedish Embassy, so unless I'm very much mistaken it can't be that one. The map doesn't show Greenfield Park on it, it just shows the UCD buildings straight out that gate and continuing on down through the gate directly opposite - some form of AG buildings I think.

If it's owned by the Swedish Embassy does that make it technically Sweden?
In which case should the Aul wan be complaining to the Stockholm UDC?
It's across the road from that one, the last house on that side.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
There was supposed to be some new on 11/10/2006... anybody hear of anything?
"Case has been decided, details will not be available before 16-Oct-2006"
Link.
Well if Belfield Park wasn't for the wrecking ball soon I'd suggest biding our time. However the club do not have that option.
