My knowledge of the wmens game has increased 100% TY
https://kesslereffect.bandcamp.com/album/kepler - New music. It's not that bad.
Kerry's Eye reporting that the Munster Cup final had been tentatively planned for May until the MFA announcement, presumably if the Turners Cross surface is playable by the mid-season break, that'll be the most likely window available.
As long as you smile and nod every 10 seconds pretending to feign interest is fine - Im saving you from being torn limb from limb for not seeming interested, its a dangerous world for exclusively followers of the mens game out there!
Rovers rent in Tallaght rising from 98k per year to 240k to play 40 matches.
Steep increase and sets the bar for the new Dalymount or any other stadium developments by council/Government.
Good detail on it in this article: https://www.extratime.com/articles/3...medium=twitter

Any news that Shelbourne are trying to get the West seated stand at the Drumcondra end reopened for next season?
That seems really expensive in comparison to the Brandywell. Last year it was £750 per game, Stute charged less since they didn't use the Southend Stand. So £15k a year, maybe £30k if you assumed we did all training there (we don't).
Those are the going rates for anyone who wants to rent it.
What does the annual fee cover? Does it exclude a random team from renting the ground?

For the facility it is Im not sure its that expensive. Its been negotiated with Rovers rather han billed so maybe its correlated to Rovers' attendance projections and maybe includes a % reduction clause if crowds dont materialise or remain as they are. How much do Rovers pay on maintenace? Tbh any old LoI ground would suck up that level of money just keeping it usable - Finn Harps and floodlights, Dundalk the same, but if significant things like pitch are covered under the rent then it may not be at all expensive. The headline details will be reported but net cost compared to owning and running a similar facility would be an interesting comparison.

New floodlights at Cobh,I’m very jealous!
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
I would agree - 240k a year for a facility that would cost 40m to build today (North stand was 11m alone) is reasonable. Rovers average gate is over 7k right now which is probably around €80k a game on gate receipt alone and you can probably add another €40k to that with other revenue generators (food, club shop, advertising etc). At least 20 home games a year means anywhere between €2m - €2.5m is generated. That’s just from the men’s side, obviously there are 20 other games allowed, but would not generate anywhere near what the men’s team generates. Paying a rent of around 10% per annum or circa 2% of todays capital cost is decent… again though the devil is in the detail as to who pays what and what revenues go where (e.g advertisement boards, food revenues etc).
A dumb priest never got a parish, as the saying goes - incremental, but regular improvements by all clubs would make a cumulative impact.
I always enjoy going to Cobh, lovely clubhouse bar there too.
I know ye did some work before last season started Culloty, but have Kerry any plans to improve the ground?
Im prety sure it was to do with structural issues ie foundations subsiding as a resuld of sodden ground from the Tolka bursting its banks.
