Stadium Updates (All Clubs)

**Buller** · 25/07/2007, 5:12 PM

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

Not to mention Athlone Town's stadium when they get another stand built, it's top class...

(and also the new brandywell...)

Thanks to you guys being in the wilderness for so long we have outgrown Co. Louth and now need to take in a part of Co. Meath as well

Yawn....

Oh how forgetful of me, your consistent avg. crowd of under 2000 in you supposed 'best years' in the clubs history led me to forget how massive a club you really have become!

Which 4 would you rate above it?

**gufct** · 26/07/2007, 9:20 AM

As a united fan for over 28yrs now its a sense of real pride to see the ground looking so well and a pitch as good as any in Ireland or the UK.

Same Here and it has a car park!!!!!!!!!!!

**Buller** · 26/07/2007, 11:31 AM

Top 4... Turners Cross, Tolka Park, and Dalymount are all bigger stadiums, and in the end it all comes down to how much the ground can hold... At the moment Terryland can still only hold 2,500 seated max.
It looks very nice though and I hope another stand goes in one of the ends, lovely ground.

No it doesn't. Sure rarely if ever do those grounds approach a sell out. Compare Tolka to Turners Cross, Tolka may hold more but it's a dilapated wreck in places. Dalymount has one excellent stand, one crumbling unused terrace, one hybrid of a crumbling terrace with bolted in seats and a half decent uncovered half of a stand with an ugly gaping hole of a car park. I'm aware Belfield Park isn't great so don't bother as I'm not the one making these claims.

Jodi Stand is the best stand in the country, but the rest of Dalymount is ancient, Tolka is a kip, most of it resembles St Mels with seats. With a capacity of around 5000 Terryland will have a great atmosphere for big games unlike Tolka or Dalymount with 4000/5000 scattered around. Turners Cross is Undoubtedly the best ground in the country at the moment.

I know it's being biased but I do think the Showgrounds is still better than Terryland. We have plenty of room for improvement though...

**Poor Student** · 26/07/2007, 11:51 AM

Here's the latest pics of the Belfield Bowl courtesy of Schumi: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v2...l/25th%20July/ . The pictured stand has 1,500 seats. It's also having facilities like toilets and one or two shop units installed.

**gufct** · 26/07/2007, 11:51 AM

The Showgrounds was like Berlin after the Blitz the last time we played there and terryland has actually 3,350 seats now.

Tolka is falling apart and Dalymount bar the Jodi Stand is like a derelict Building site.Just because a ground is bigger doesnt mean its better.

**GuisaSaigon** · 26/07/2007, 11:51 AM

biased = delusional

You do know Der Blitz was the Nazi bombing campaign, right?

**Rams-07** · 26/07/2007, 12:05 PM

Any chance ye could ask the builders in Terryland to come down to Cobh when they are finished and finish off our stand...9 mths now and only half finished...
