QuoteId be spetical about the preserving the home of Irish football line if they are preserving nothing about the place accept it's address roatating the pitch will leave very little continuity between the old Dalymount & the new.
The pitch itself is terrible so maybe this suggests they want to focus on that as well as the ground. Not all bad as long as what's built to replace the Jodi is decent

Fair point. the pitch is in a bad state.Originally Posted by outspoken
Yep, if it looks great at the end of the day all will be forgiven! I doubt it will happen, but i'd love some covered terrace at the ends rather than seating. A compact terrace (i'm not even talking about the mad expensive safe-standing ones) with a good roof is still thrilling and all too rare a sight nowadays. They still do it brilliantly elsewhere - look at FC United on Manchester's ground.
Anyway, even if the ends are seated, i'm sure the hardcore Bohs fans will fill one of those ends and make it their own and have it rocking at every game.
Indeed. I wonder whether there would be greater benefit for Irish football if the funds were used to build a 10-15k seater stadium on a green field site.
The positive is it keeps Bohs in their historic location but if they are similar to ourselves then very little of the actual support come from that area anyway.
I thought a big chunk of the Bohs crowd comes from the Cabra/Phibs area, it at least seems that way to me as an outsider when I attend matches in Dalyer.
Don't a sizeable section of the Pats crowd hail from Inchicore and the surrounds??

The bars may be plural but it says only under one of the stands. It's one way of exerting crowd control I suppose, short of kettling. The boozers will self select. It doesn't say if the other stand will have one but it makes economic sense to have bars in each stand.
That headline though
DCC bought it for 3.8 million, and will probably pour many more million into the redevelopment. I doubt they'd spend even a fraction of that amount on soccer infrastructure if it wasn't for the history of Dalymount. I think we've hit the bloody jackpot with DCC buying Dalyer and funding it's redevelopment.
If we lost Dalyer it would be tragic. Not just to Bohs (and potentially Shels) but to Irish soccer as a whole. Think of all those memories.... Johnny Giles, Brady, Don Given's hat trick against USSR, Pele even played there!! As part of the redevelopment I heard that they're also making a museum there to commemorate all those days.
And it's smack-bang in the middle of north city centre... perfect location for a stadium, and the LUAS track will run right past it in a few years making accessabiliy much better. There's a major redevelopment going to happen in Phibsborough over the next 10 yrs or so (new shopping centre, LUAS track, brand new campus for DIT etc) and Dalyer is going to be central to it. it's all positive as far as i'm concerned.
Yea the headline is unreal! I'd guess that if Shels ever move in as co-tenants that they'd put a bar in the Tramway end stand
Although an agreement looks some way off, it is expected space under a new Tramway End stand would be set aside for their future use.
Just had a mess around print screening google map and flipping the pitch on GIMP.
Have to say the footprint looks pretty tight and that was even leaving less space behind the goal.

Serious business when you bring out the GIMP.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Indeed it is!

They know me well enough at this stage anyway!
I'd say a number of posters here have appeared on printouts of forum threads slammed down on tables at FAI meetings. Not even joking.Your IP address is on record in Abbotstown now good luck with your Euros application
They definitely do ask the clubs who people on here are and how they know what they know.

In some case they knew exactly who people on here were and raised it with club directors.

We've applied for a bar licence for the RSC
FFS....
https://kesslereffect.bandcamp.com/album/kepler - New music. It's not that bad.
Two excellent stands in the RSC either side of the pitch both equipped with toilet facilities and a meeting room. The new stand has a gym under the stand. There are three full size training pitches at the back of the RSC. There's the second gate/turnstiles closer to super value mainly for access to the new stand, people can also use the main turnstiles to gain access to the new stand. Quite a big car park is also in place with a decent place to get hot food beside the main stand and a small shop at the back of the main stand. The club shop is also at the side of the main stand. And now we may potentially have a bar in the RSC under the main stand presumably. We've a top notch ground just a pity we've the track around the pitch. All we need now is a decent team and we're on the ball.
