yeah i'm with you here too.Originally Posted by bohsmug
many other threads are used for bickering between 'rival' supporters. this one is always interesting and USUALLY only deals with fact.
don't get it closed for the sake of some silly points scoring against others.
congrats lads, ye've contributed as many off topic posts as we did in you condemnation.
does anyone know if/when this season the MFA plan on putting a roof on the remaining st. anns end?
the seats in the picture are the old ones been taken out the new ones are maroon in colour and are supplied by the same company that are fitted the new stand at turners cross.
any photos of stand with new seats in???
As far as I know the same contractors that did the Shed stand are lined up to put the roof on St Anne's end.
Don't know about when. Hopefully have it done for the start of the 2008 season.
I'm what? I'm ants at a picnic?
Its seems that many of the EL league teams are carrying out work or are planning to carry out work to improve their grounds, which is great to see!
I take it the majority of the money for these improvements is coming from public bodies i.e Government/local councils etc?
Most funding for capital work at grounds would be from:
-Lottery funding
-Dept of Sport grants
-FAI grants
I'm what? I'm ants at a picnic?
And Local Authorities
Ans local Football Associations
Terryland Park - Galway Football Assoc
Turners Cross - Munster FA
Nobody knows us, we don't care
well, the MFA arent actually contributing much at all to turner's cross, they're just spending the grants they get. afaik.
AFAIK the Cork City friendly with Sunderland is an MFA venture to raise funds for Turners X development.
Presumably to pay for the Shed stand and/or St Anne roof.

The Sunderland friendly is to knock the existing outer wall and turn styles at the "shed"/curragh road/east end and replace them with some thing nice and modern.
heres hoping for red brick.
a grant has already been recieved by the MFA for construction of a roof over the st. anns end, but planning permission ends rather soon for my liking. i do wish they'd start immediately, even at the sake of closing the st.anns end for the foreseeable future. it might cost us in terms of a couple of big matches but it is not needed at the moment.
of course, the MFA has sold St. Anns End tickets for the Sunderland game at the end of this month so they wont be doing it before then. I hope that this is the only thing delaying the start of construction.

Looks very impressive.
1,500 and there are 1700 all new seats going in the old stand plus 150 odd at the clubhouse end.
We are the Galway Boys Stand up and make some noise"
Now Galway have the best staduim in the west.
I like it though very impressive. Seems awfull GAA like not like your usual soocer staduim.
must admit it is a dead ringer for pearse stadium's main stand!Now Galway have the best staduim in the west.

i think the similarity is down to the colours though as the stand is top notch
Looks very good. Well done to all at terryland.
Will you have terracing for the sunderland match or is it an all seater for that match?
What next in the plans?
