It's a municipal stadium,and there are plenty of grounds across the world that host both rugby and football.Anyone who thinks the LOI is going to get it's own purpose built stadiums is delusional.Every stadium in the country should be able to host LOI/GAA/Rugby
oh boy I'm not good at football forums
I'm sure that would have been the preferred option, but i'd guess that they went with the standalone stand as it was cheaper
It's hardly stupid really since the two existing stands wouldn't match up anyway. The original plans have long since been abandoned.

Your completely right but at the same time a curved stand that almost joined up against the existing structures would surely be possible, many grounds that have 4 sides don't match up exactly and it would cure the wind tunnel effect coming off the mountain.
I remember one match last season against Pats when the ball was being blown backwards from clearences.
Frankly, i think we're quite lucky that the stand is being placed at the south end at all. I think it was initially planed for the north but luckily one of the members of the SDCC is a rovers fan and knows the affect the wind can have on the games so he had it changed so that it would be put on the south end.

Brandywell work 100% starting next month. Probably. We think.

Ready for the start of the season?
If they start on time, and if they start with the pitch, then yes.
Plan would be to block off the Lone Moor side and just use the main stand for the first part of the season, which would suffice grand.
Whilst this is the furthest along the process we've got to date, after (25) years of waiting for redevelopment, you can forgive us if we're a bit skeptical about these announcements.
Happy days for Derry just in time for European games, now hopefully some news on harps
We are the SR the SRFC.......
Part time Finn Harps too :)
Good point but i suppose they have time to reapply before they start to build. The council voted to build it so can't see them turning themselves down : )
How can the story have changed so much on this? It was meant to be a way way shorter period so a bit baffled by this.
