Watched the first half from the stand - comfy and dry but couldn't see half the pitch, so went over to the DART side for the second half and got p****d on
A patriot is someone who knows how to hate his country properly.
It it's any consolation, the other side looked wet but happy
The marquee looks fine but roof seems very low & obviously has loads of poles. Be surprised if it will last long with few hundred fans jumping up & down.
Is suppose its a modern version of Belfield Parks bleechers.
In fairness to Bray they had NO COVERED AREA in the ground this season, up until tonight. So when it bucketed down in the second half people had a dry spot to watch the game.
I take it's only temporary? Nothing on their web site.
What you can't see from TV is that it's a good 3-5 inch's above the pitch.
well it looks alot better having that stand there than a wall in the background... I would be happy with something like that behind one of our goals down here and so would many clubs!! but to pay 300K for that... YEHHEHEHH RIGHT!
Shur you would have taken any oul reason to smile that day what with your team being outplayed on the pitch while off the pitch your poor defenceless fans were being beaten to death and in some cases eaten
Hows the press box in the mound of rubble out in tallaght coming along anyway??
Just because the players are sturdy in that sport doesn't mean the stand will be
Who Cares?!
This thread really takes the biscuit. The stand is better than nine out of 10 stands anywhere in the eL. It is better than the Des Kelly stand. It is better than UCD's stand. It is better than that cowshed in Drogheda.
It is being criticised by supporters of clubs that offer accommodation on earth banks, by supporters of clubs with mostly empty stands, and by supporters of clubs with no ground!
I was at the back of the stand for the game on Friday, and my view of the game was impeded only by the dugouts. The supporting posts are narrow and not an issue.
it really needs some guttering for when it rains, like Friday!
I suppose it Bray decide at some stage to build a permanent structure they can always fold up the tent & sell it in BuyandSell.
Well you're the one that has to put up with it every second week, so if you're happy with the pile of rubble that passes for your home, fine, good luck with it. Fair play to Bray for actually getting ahead and doing something about providing decent seated accommodation. And there's nothing wrong with a bit of constructive criticism when discussing stadium facilities in this league...even if it means the fan of a 'homeless' club expressing his or her opinion. Sensitive people, however, should just stay quiet on the matter.Shur you would have taken any oul reason to smile that day what with your team being outplayed on the pitch while off the pitch your poor defenceless fans were being beaten to death and in some cases eaten

Ireland: Discovered!
Where do I say I'm happy with it??
Ya, Passive's post was real constructive
As for being sensitive, well BOO HOO HOO
Fairly certain that wouldn't meet UEFA standards if Bray got back into Europe.
I love the couple of plant pots on the left-hand side of the stand - all very RDS.....
Your spot on there ! nothing wrong with it what so ever. It does exactley what it supposed to do ! keeps you a hell of a lot dryer in the rain, anmd a bit warmer as well which is a big fcuking plus in the Carlisle. The dugouts WILL be moved, it's a work in progress, and when they are over the far side it will be spot on. The poles are a little annoying but are no more than 3 or 4 inchs thick so don't really cause that much of a problem.
If it stood up fo Friday nights weather then i think it will stand up to anything in fairness.
Some of you are unreal, a smaler club in the league is trying to some something positive and people knock it back and slag it off because they think there club is bigger and better. It' a fcukin mile better than most other stands in the eL so makes no sense what so ever for supporters from other clubs to have ago at it when what they have is probably worse themselves....
Completely agree.
Would the knockers like to just leave it the way it was ffs?
As was mentioned at least they are trying to do something positive. Ok it looks unusual but it is covered seating.
To the limerick fan: You have been in rathbane since 1983 and NOTHING has ever been done there. That's not abuse its a fact. If it wasnt for a certain GAA club we would be in Tallaght for next season.
KOH
Whatever about our own respective grounds, the Carlisle has been a pretty unpleasant ground. The new stand lifts the image and quality of the ground a lot. How can people ask if it's temporary? Since when do eL clubs have €300k to throw at temporary stands?
Knock the dugouts and it will be fine.
That's what they are planning to do.
Well said, poor student. It has improved the image of the Carlisle grounds. We have more seats (almost 3000) than some of the top clubs (Derry, Pats, Drogheda) in the league. Temporary means that it can be moved to behind the goal when we eventually get enough money to build a proper stand. It's better that the shed that was there before it and will do the job once the dug outs are moved in the next few weeks. The cost of E300k probably includes the removal of the old stand plus putting in a concrete base which was not there before.Whatever about our own respective grounds, the Carlisle has been a pretty unpleasant ground.

it looks good enough on TV aswell,think this type of stand could catch on,considering how it improves the look of the place,for say behind the goals of stadiums to give it a more finished look.
