Pats Shels

could be the making/breaking of shels. I know Rovers crowds plummeted out there

Well that had to do with the fact that they were there short term and it's a **** hole. However, if we are there for good then the place should/will be revamped and therefore hopefully not affecting our already terrible crowds!

Thats wy I put in make/break. it could be great for you. Where will athletics Ireland come into this? Its still their national stadium

one other reason i always thought the Santry Siro was negative from an attendances perspective was the fact we were there during the traditional winter football season with games having early afternoon kick offs on a sunday afternoon, this clashed with Junior & schoolboy fixtures and coupled with our predictable winter weather easily affected the numbers travelling to games week in week out.
However the first game we ever played there v Cork in the now defunct Super Cup was on a summers evening & at the time the general concensus was that it would be a great place to host regular football, on that basis the change to summer football may help Shels proposal to relocate there.

There would be a good spread of Dublin clubs then. At the moment we've got Pats, Rovers, Shels and Bohs (& Dub City) playing within a very close distance to each other which everyone knows isn't working. Gambles being taken by both Bohs and Shels. Interesting times!


P.S. If Shels do move to Santry I really hope something serious is done with the place. It was my least favourite ground to go to.

I have not got a clue about that, hopefully they will be relocated somewhere else though I can't see that happening especially if the stadium is being revamped. Hopefully this does make us even if the ground will have a poxy running track
