Good top prize in that draw , fair play to harps for organising it.
Can you give us another fourteen years?

Edinburgh Rugby's new stadium looks like it's mostly made of pop up stands. Could this be an option for LOI clubs?
oh boy I'm not good at football forums

There are now a good few examples of these stands in use, flipping skyscrapers were built on a concrete foundation and steel structure. I dont know what the obsession in Ireland is with poured concrete models even if partly prefabricated. Maybe securing grants for companies submitting tenders from outside of Ireland is an issue, if so what a waste of revenue. The new main stand Vicarage Road is good enough for the EPL, raking is a bit nauseating but it is shoehorned in. More appropriately sized stands of 8-1200 suitable for LoI dont cost as much the admin of messing for a decade or 2 from initial grant allocations. Gross cost of the ptch in Oriel would have built a new stand for context. Ive probably posted this somewhere in ths thread already but some example of what could be achieved here with some cohesive joint development plans and partnerships. https://www.glevents.co.uk/solutions...ents/football/
This shouldnt be a pipedream as a stand at Oriel Park!! (RSJs in view lines would keep it retro..).

I like The Hive, probably as ye can see how the YDC/Shed in Oriel could have ended up looking or even be with some work. Its a great community facility and Barnet turned a mess in to, well a hive of activity. The good and the bad of partnerships, groundshares, local council wranglings, different sports associations trying to shaft each other, and a development eventually usable after a council steps in - sound familiar...just condensed in to a shorter timeframe than experienced in LoI projects. Ye'd like to think due to some sensible thinkng from councils got things over the line in the end but really I think some rivalry kicked in between neighbouring boroughs regardless of denials and debate on duplicating facilities. Saracens had form for bullying football clubs they were sharing with, so it worked out best probably though Tallaght, Stranrolar issues were or are almost blips in comparison - Dalymount/Tolka/Shels/Bohs might push it close.
Actually, now to think of it, the GAA did play a peripheral role as Wealdstone ended up moving to Ruislip which caused some hissy fits in London GAA circles.

Would have thought so alright. They are in Tallaght for example.
Belfield Park was bucket seats bolted onto a plank of wood. That had way more of a temporary feel to it.
