I agree.
You mentioned grass pitches meeting the "criteria" - there is almost none, other then meeting length and width dimensions
The difference is that Artificial Pitches undergo a fairly rigorous test procedure, which includes bounce and roll tests.
The pitch at Oriel Park has consistently passed these tests. That does not make the pitch either good or bad (that's pretty subjective) - but it does make it a FIFA 2-Star Certified FieldTurf pitch

Anyone else a little worried about a stand with such history like the Glentoran stand being demolished? I would like to see it relocated for Preservation purposes. Its out of date for LOI but could be used for a Junior club. Without the Dog Track, the stands can be closer to the pitch. Great news but gotta be skeptical about it like the talk of 10,000 seater stadium announced before.

Derry City Council approved the redevelopment of the Brandywell last night. Main work to start in the summer, with the Glentoran Stand being gone by the start of the season.

Great news for Derry. Hopefully Harps stadium gets back on track as planned and then we'll have a couple of very nice stadiums up in the North West.

Part time Finn Harps too :)
I presume this isn't the same press release that goes around a month or two before licences are awarded?
Just seems like I've heard this story before...
Nope, this time, there's actually work happening. Expected that the main stand with offices, dressing rooms, etc, will be as good as complete by March/April with the second stand to start soon after, or so I'm told. All filling, all perimeter fences, and foundations are complete and it's full steam ahead from here structurally.

The pitch is already better than Finn Parks current surface.
Limerick Regeneration make 1.1 million available to Markets Field. What this will change i'm not sure will try and find out full story tomorrow.

Well they can forget about the middle of next year with season tickets already being sold but hopefully it's and extra 1.1 million being funded and not 1.1 million that was already included in the work they have planned to do. Surely for 1.1 million and finding elsewhere you could do better than the plans though.
