Knock 2000 off that and you have it.

Making good progress on that stand. Hopefully it'll be ready for the UEFA Cup games.

tolka was lookin v.well, best iv seen the pitch in years. any news on the move to morton stadium? seems a pity considering the money they invested recently there with the new stand.

Nothing yet, but the club are looking at 3 options regarding venues.

Santry is deffo one of them, and IIRC Alan Byrne said there was the option of two groundshare. That's IIRC

Looks okay... but why does it not run the full length of the pitch?

Its gone into the judicical review process which apperently could take anything from 6 months to 2 years............. (kill me)
It was ment to start a week or two ago but thomas davis conveniently didnt have the required documents to start so its delayed, just what they want...

Thought Shels can't sell the lease on Tolks unless they purchase (not rent/ground share) a ground of their own?

**kdjaC** · 31/05/2007, 6:13 PM

No, the plan was for a 7,500 seater, but they never finished the last corner (left of the main stand, if you are looking from 'section O'. I did try to count the seats there before & it was around 6,700

**Buller** · 02/06/2007, 9:46 PM

I was slightly disappointed by that link, I had eh, different, expectations...

On a lighter note, the foundations look like it goes back a fair bit. How big will this stand be and how many will it hold? will it be like the current main stand?

**kdjaC** · 02/06/2007, 10:07 PM

Alleged to hold 1800 temp seats which to me makes it higher than the main stand by 15 metres to the highest seat

Corks new shed holds about that afaik (could be wrong) so it would be similiar to that but its a rush job to get temp seating for uefa games, when its completed properly ie never it should hold 2000.

**Buller** · 02/06/2007, 10:20 PM

15 meters higher! that must be wrong, especially for a temporary stand....

**kdjaC** · 02/06/2007, 10:26 PM

Sorry 15 metres high

The base is permanent but the incline quoted for temp seating makes it oddly high.

A german company will be installing seating on that piece of concrete in the next week that can hold hold 1800 people.

90 metres length x 190 people per row makes it a damn odd looking stand, lets hope it doesnt rain :d
