I'd say the advent of a local derby with UCD would be one of the principle reasons that Rovers are considering the move to Donnybrook!
Business as usual
Isn't that always the case?
#NeverStopNotGivingUp
Senior final is March 17, which is after the start of the EL season. Anyway it's more the state the pitch would be in if there were a lot of rugby games on the pitch in February that coincided with a bad spell of weather.
Not meaning to be a wet blanket but just pointing out it could be an issue.
I'm what? I'm ants at a picnic?
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Senior and Junior Cup Finals this year were in Donnybrook (18 and 25 March respectively).
To answer a question a long way back, Bective Rangers and Old Wesley share Donnybrook which used to have a back pitch but I am not sure if the stadium refurbishments taking place are going to see that one bite the dust. Rovers in Donnybrook on a temporary basis makes a lot of sense for a number of reasons. They previously played in the RDS and Milltown is again not a million miles from Donnybrook.
There's a lot of nonsense being talked here by people who aren't Schumi. There will be a rugby match in Donnybrook most days in January and February.
Isn't the Donnybrook pitch usually bald come May? Or is that just the reseeding?
Donnybrook is bald for most of the year and a mudbath from Jan to April.
As for your comment Student Mullet?
Latest pics from the New Stand in the RSC taken a couple of days ago.

Its taken from the Larchville/Cork Road estate (WIT side).
What do you think?
I wouldn't have called the opposite sides by those names, CTID, I'd think Kilbarry and WIT would refer to the same end of the ground, the one opposite the city end. Not a townie though.
The top 2 photos looks to me like they were taken from that bit of park on the hill above The Knock, where the road runs beside the convent wall (can't think of the name of the estate there - edit: Manor Lawn, is that not it Partizan, look at the angle of the older stand?), so that would be a fairly good bit behind, and to the left (i.e. the city side) of, the older stand.
The seating capacity will be a smidge under 3000 now.

Well Kilbarry is the Tramore Road side where the old City Dump used to be.
I used WIT because I couldn't think of the name of that housing development between the Cork Road and the Campus building . And I am a frequent visitor Suirside especially during the summer. Waterford is one of my favourite places in Ireland.
