Terryland is starting to look the part now even the old stand! Have any seats had to be permanently removed to accomodate access to the new TV Gantry?

Just found this thread now. Not going to go through 40 pages to find an update! What's the latest with this? Things seem to have gone very quiet.
Also... any update re; Tallaght and the GAAliban; Drogs; and Finn Harps?
It looks like most of the old press box has been demolished to make room for the access. Hope the new box is as good as the old one.

Terryland is looking quality. It was only eight years ago when there was no stand. Now we have two seated stands on either side.
All we need now is a lot more arses on those maroon seats to make it even better.
I think I should the parachute, because I'm great.
In fact, I think I should get both parachutes, in case one doesn't work.
There are new press facilities in the new stand.
Nobody knows us, we don't care
cost will be around 1.5m when underneath facilities are complete stand will be in use for game v sunderland on 1st aug for spectators but underneath wont be ready until oct
and a few less asses on the pitch!!All we need now is a lot more arses on those maroon seats to make it even better.
there is definately room at the car park end. especially when you consider the design of the new stand (i.e. very steep and not really too deep).
there would also be room at the clubhouse end as the clubhouse will be practically defunct anyway, i would have thought, when the facilities are finished under the new stand.
in all honesty though it would only be building the stands for the sake of building them. the capacity will be 5,000 when new stand opens and there will be very few games each year (if any) which would attract more supporters than that.
the new stand is at minimum 3 times the width of the space that is behind the goals, unless you mean building out into the car park also?
yes and no
i wouldn't expect the stand to be the same height or capacity. perhaps half the size therefore it would only need to go into the car park by a few feet - but the room is there anyway by going into the carpark if we ever did want a bigger stand. the club house end could also house a similar sized stand down the line.
Why with facilities like that, ye'll never get religated
in fairness if every club put in the effort of the likes of outrselves and athlone it would be a better league.Why with facilities like that, ye'll never get religated
the place is beginning to look the part of a prem div club even if the football is cat

Rovers plan to press ahead with move to Tallaght
24/07/2007 - 09:15:53
Shamrock Rovers have announced they are to press ahead with their move to Tallaght Stadium.
The club plans to have relocated to the south Dublin venue in time for the start of the 2008 season.
Court proceedings taken by GAA club Thomas Davis are pending, but Rovers have issued a dossier explaining that they can move to the new stadium without their legal position being affected.
Rovers say they can complete the main stand structure and auxiliary works without prejudicing any outcome in the High Court

Tallaght Stadium: Shamrock Rovers could be playing in their new home by the start of next season if proposals to allow work to restart on the Tallaght Stadium get the go-ahead.
South Dublin County Council (SDCC) are considering an FAI-backed initiative by the club that could see builders return to the idle site at Whitestown Way.
Rovers believe their proposals will not prejudice High Court proceedings after the Tallaght-based Thomas Davis GAA club challenged a decision to develop the council-funded stadium for the playing of soccer only.
Rovers - the intended anchor tenants - maintain they are "completely open" to other sports being played at the stadium and believe some work can be carried out to open the ground during the time the court case, which is scheduled for October, runs its course.
The club insists these works, once completed, can accommodate any alterations that may be required in the event of Gaelic games being granted access to the stadium. "Once we heard there was leave for application for the judicial review we looked into how we could work within the parameters of the High Court ruling and try to get into the stadium as soon as possible," club director James Nolan said.
FAI chief executive John Delaney recently put the proposals to SDCC on the club's behalf. Rovers' directors will meet council officials later this week when an outcome could be given. These proposals focus on the completion of the existing - but only partially constructed - main stand and the addition of temporary seating.
Rovers are confident the erection of such seats would not be in breach of the terms stipulated by Mr Justice O'Neill when awarding the judicial review.
The main stand, left idle for years owing to previous financial difficulties at the club, has no roof, no seats and internal structures are incomplete. However, Rovers maintain its location and layout does not require alteration to facilitate Gaelic games, should the need arise.
"This is a simple plan," said Nolan. "We'll finish the main stand structure but not put the wraparounds at the ends. We will also finish auxiliary works around the outside of the stadium and put temporary stands on three sides of the ground.
"It is costing the council roughly €13,000 per month to maintain the stadium in its current state. We want to get into a working facility straight away."
Some 3,000 supporters would be facilitated in the main stand with another 4,000 divided between the temporary structures. Similar temporary seating is being used by Bray Wanderers at the Carlisle Grounds.
While Thomas Davis are entitled to seek a court injunction against the Shamrock Rovers proposal, to do so would "really show them up", Nolan believes. "That would prove to the general public Thomas Davis don't want us playing there. If really and truly they had no problem with us playing in Tallaght they would be behind this plan 100 per cent."
A Rovers delegation met Thomas Davis officials in May when the soccer club expressed a desire to play in Tallaght next season. According to Nolan, "they (Thomas Davis) had no great objection to it".
A spokesman for Thomas Davis could not be contacted last evening. Rovers will undertake structural surveys of the site and seek further legal advice prior to work restarting should SDCC give the go-ahead this week.
The club is also awaiting the thoughts of new Minister for Sport Seamus Brennan. His predecessor, John O'Donoghue, had vigorously supported Rovers in their fight for relocation.
Local Fianna Fail TD Charlie O'Connor is "satisfied and confident the (new) Minister will want to see this issue through". "It is time this was solved," he said. "There is a big, big bank of support for Shamrock Rovers in Tallaght . . . and a strong view that this issue should be put to bed."

good stuff, had always wondered if this was possible, and tis great to see rovers taking the initiative in taunting the snake out of the grass
arent we all just magic little monkeys...
Hopefully
We could have a few very decent stadiums in the next few years, Turners Cross, Inchicore, Tallaght, New Dalymount, New United Park. Looks good for the league
