Cheers for that link Mr T aye the proposed stadium looks brilliant! any idea how much it will cost overall? I see that it is due for completion in 2009 wonder if Derry will have sorted their new stadium out by then as well?

We're hoping to start construction this summer- but whether we can achieve that remains to be seen.

It will not cost FHFC anything as it basically is funded by the sale of the old ground (zoned as new town centre for twin towns, new ground is very close but far, far cheaper due to recreational zoning) and by government grant funding.

I think it is fair to say that there is no prospect of Derry having a new ground or a redeveloped Brandywell by then, their local council seems to be caving in to pressure from the greyhound people to some extent and messing up their plans.

Obviously you've never been to the connaught st side then. Agree its a pity that it might go though.

That's why that blue cover has been over that area so?

No, that's to stop anyone sitting or standing there, due to its proximity to the away dressing room.

There seems to be an issue with the Welsh contractors. Not sure what about?
Hopefully it will be sorted soon. Very, very, very slow in going up.
Can't see that the stand being 2 feet too high is going to make a difference as it is on the south side of the pitch and is only next to a road. No views being affected or sunlight issues!

Excellent news.

It'll be great to see Jackman Park develop into a top class facility for both Junior and senior football in Limerick.

Great news. Jackmann Park is better located in Limerick that Rathbane (Hogan Park) or Pike Rovers ground.

A new big red iron building has been erected in the showgrounds in place of where the Shed was. I am not sure what it is for but a tv camera was pionting out the window during the game. Bad position for a TV gantry isn't it?

Its an awful eye soar as well.
