QuoteThere's lights on the roof of the stand anyway definitely.
Will the new Shams stadium have flood-lights before the sesaon starts. I couldnt see any on the recent stadium pictures.
Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!

Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
The floodlights were delayed due to the factory that makes them in England being flooded. The las I heard they were due to arrive mid February. I think the foundations are being dug for them at the moment.

Floodlight factory gets flooded? You just couldn't make it up.
Nobody knows us, we don't care
Good point. How come they have red seats in Turner's Cross?

Cork City don't own it so why should they have green seats?. Red is a more traditional Cork colour I guess the MFA feel it's more appropriate. Or maybe there was a load of red seats going cheap..

When the first lot (i.e. 3/4 of the ground - everything apart from the new stand) were installed we were wearing red and white jersies.
They've just stuck with that since. That's the reason.

No they would not want to sell,Also city do not have the cash and it would be a bad investment as not much can be done to the ground to extend capacity.
No.
The MFA don't own it. They run it on behalf of the FAI, who have a long-term lease on it (100 years I think) from some Canadian millionaire.
In short, we don't need to, nor could we afford to. It's written into the lease that the ground be made available for rent to an LOI club representing Cork at a reasonable price. The land will never be rezoned by the council or anything similar because it's the only football-exclusive stadium worth speaking of in Cork. So we're happy as things are, for the same reason Rovers are happy not owning Tallaght.
They are installing a chipper, a shop, and toilet facilities.

Theres a new sponsorship box currently been built adjacent to the Enda McGuill suite upstairs in the main stand at Oriel, its located above the Lillywhite!Not too sure if its going to be used for Press as well!
And Bray could change theirs to a weather-beaten pink colour to match their seats.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Cork should move the TV gantry over above the little stand. Would make it look fantastic on TV.
Yeah, Galway did it and it worked out well but i don't think they're able to at Turners Cross.
"If you don't work harder I'll pull you off at halftime,"
“Crikey, at Manchester City all we get is an orange and a cup of tea,"
Some problem with the houses behind afaik.
There was talk of a possible gantry on the St Annes but dunno if thats true or not
Yeah, afaik it will be.
Unless the people in the shed move down to the St Anne's End, in which case they'll move the away section down to the shed end of the Derrynane.
Pity really.
the Derrynane is too close to the pitch as well so it wouldnt work camera would be far too steep on that side
I dunno man, it would definitely be better with something like this
