https://kesslereffect.bandcamp.com/album/kepler - New music. It's not that bad.
Dreadful area of town, and not just because of the sectarianism.
I do think it's too big for Linfield though. In the old ground, with around 1,000 people there (or less), the atmosphere is just awful. Any noise is lost in the vastness of the space.
Akin to how Thomond was with Limerick really.
Whats the latest with the supposed redevelopment of the Brandywell that was supposed to start two months ago now ?
Ha, 29th May we were told.
Delayed because of any number of excuses.
Take your pick from:
•Delay of funds from OFMDFM
•Awaiting approval which was delayed because of Casement
•Bats
•Contractor hasn't been found yet
•Greyhound fellas haven't been accommodated yet
New date for commencement is August-September...ish.
The idea of demolishing the entire far side of the ground in the middle of the season was a bit bonkers
whats the prospect of it getting started in 2015?
With our current attendance figures, the Southend stand would easily suffice.
As for a start date, bah, I'd be surprised to see it this season.
Oriel Park lease latest;

Cumann Peile Dún Dealgan - Champions 2015 (too many accolades to be typing)
Termonbarry Athletic TID!
That's a very honest piece by the Dundalk chairman, hopefully the Oriel lease can be sorted .
I along with the majority of Dundalk fans would be devastated if we ever had to leave Oriel (The Home of Football)
Agreed but I wouldnt be too bothered to see 'The Home of Football' signage disappear - its about as subtle as 'We are the Champions' over a Tannoy in July 2013
Well it is the "Home of Football" in Dundalk so I dont see an issue with it. When i was growing up, it was every teams aim to get to the Dundalk Schoolboys Cup Final so you could play in OrielAgreed but I wouldnt be too bothered to see 'The Home of Football' signage disappear - its about as subtle as 'We are the Champions' over a Tannoy in July 2013
It s not a major deal but it is hardly an original or accurate 'slogan'. It isnt 'the' home of football as much as our home of football. It seem a tad arrogant imo but so be it. I vaguely remember Micky Duffy wanting to have a 'Fortress Oriel' sign erected as we languished in the bottom 3 of the 1st Division, and a 'This is Oriel' over the players tunnel. Fortress Oriel is less cringeworthy if it was done these days. There are many greater things for myself or Dundalk fans to be bothered about!
If they complete the one stand the whole way around, the Brandywell will be a fine ground.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
The "This Is" ground signs have always made me cringe. They're begging for somebody to break in and grafitti "No ****" under it.
I doubt the youth of today care enough about the LOI one way or another to be bothered with that.
This is South Dublin County Council Community Stadium has some ring to it!
I've always liked This is Oriel Owned By the Casey Family Leased to Gerry Matthews Park myself
This is Oriel doesnt seem so bad now...
Great documentary on last year 'the crazy gang' (Wimbledon) Fash or Vinny Jones did just that to the 'this is Anfield ' sign, they made sure they were out first and took a black marker to it and wrote 'bothered' then sat in a circle on the pitch laughing, I think they beat them too. Horrible club, but a funny story all the same.
