East stand in Tallaght beginning to take shape
So where will the temporary seating go for the upcoming friendlies?
You've got no fans.
The capacity for the Newcastle/Hibs friendlies will be circa 6,000, so it seems one temporary stand will be in place for all of July, the other just for los galacticos. I'm not sure whether that one remaining temp stand will stay in place until the new stand is finished...I'd guess that it'll be taken down at the end of the 'festival of football' and capacity will revert to 3,500 until the new permanent stand is finished a few weeks later.
Have Kildare County kept that temporary seating that they installed towards the end of last season does anybody know?
They have, yeah.
Any pictures of the new stand going up in tallaght?
Anyone know what the story is with Rovers' seat colours in the stadium? Surely it should be green and white all round
SDCC p*ssing on the lampost to mark their territory, methinks.

According to a rather vicious email I got off SDCC which firstly accused me of being a Rovers fan (!!!!), its to make it look better on TV, comparing it to the random coloured seats in some Italian stadiums. Which are individually different colours, not blocks; and a secondary reason of it "not being Shamrock Rovers stadium".
My original complaint was that it was a visual eyesore with the random blocks and that as they were spending a lot of money on it they should make it look as nice as possible... not "make it green and white for Rovers" like they managed to read it as!
