I think the away area where it is, is perfect.

Supposedly the 4th stand is to be built nest year and that will ultimately be where the away support will go.
Will save money on stewarding as well.

That'd work for every game bar Bohs where they get escorted to the LUAS so to do that you'd have to block every main stand exit, and not let anyone from the east stand go towards the Maldron then escort the Bohs fans through the car park, past everyone from the main stand and past the shop and offices which is all just asking for trouble.

As has been said though 4th stand is already in the early stages so soon enough away fans will just be put there.

Something to shoot for though.
.

Probably 5,000 with the bank of empty seats as a cordon?. Bohs allocation (squashed into the top left corner of the Robbie Keane Stand) for tonights game sold out last Wednesday, with Rovers relatively poor crowds this season, doubt the home support will be anything near 4,000.

You'll be able to bring as many as you want next season, assuming your still in the premier

If we were relegated it would cost you a fortune in gate receipts ( and vice versa)! Lets face it, we have each other in a deaths grip , while Cork and Dundalk carry on with winning trophies.

I'm feeling optimistic about next year, although as my wife reminded me "you say that every year"

That’s the joy of being a football fan, no matter how bad this season is, there’s always next year.

Looking at it now on the box. Looks a bit narrow, and a little bit off centre, though the camera angle might be deceptive. The space from the touch line to the stands on either side might not help either, stands should be tighter to the pitch in my view.

It seems closer in the actual stadium tbh.
Also I noticed the sound seemed to stay in the stadium better then normal. It will really look great when it's finished.

You have to have ambition otherwise you should just build a 4000 seater to replace dalyer

It's the only flaw in Tallaght imo. The stands are 10 metres (if not more) from the pitch. Takes so much away from the experience. It would be an unreal stadium if the stands were really tight to the pitch.
