No there isn't. There's a camera mount point.
We've been over this TV gantry thing before and moving it to the Derrynane Road side is a non-runner.

The next big job will be a roof on the St. Anne's End.

the Horseshoe has access from inside the ground?
For what?

Access to the back yard of the pub for deliveries, etc.

tell them to **** off, what are they doing for MFA/CCFC?

They could have built their own access if they hadn't put in that offo.

This is their own access and they've always had it.
The ground was built around it.
It's always been the way.

As part of the St Pats takeover there is talk of a modernisation of Richmond Park.

Are any detailed plans (or even nondetailed ones)available?

**TheSaint2002** · 14/03/2007, 1:41 PM

Ive heard plans are for a 10-12 k all seater stadium, and a all weather pitch in the area

Yes land is a bit cheaper up here but fair play to the committee who had the foresight 20 odd years ago to buy a bog & turn it into the facility it is!

Was up in Monaghan last week at Wexford game. Really enjoyed it - friendly people, good facilities and a draw in our first game. Hope to go back in not too distant future - only 170 miles!!

Given the current capacity is maybe 7000 when 3 sides used I cannot see how could fit more than 7000 seats into the current space even using 4 sides. The shed end (apartments behind) & Camac side (river behind) can not be developed with any significant size.

Thats what i'd be worried about if i was a Pats fan

**Buller** · 15/03/2007, 5:14 PM

did anyone else see sligo's plans for the showgrounds?
is on www.loi.ie
looks pretty good, but will they really have a terrace built in exposed to the elements? i dont see the sense in that...

Wexford YFC will have 1,000 temporary seats installed at the ground for Sunday. Five electronic turnstiles are also being installed but may not be ready for first game. (the info on seats is direct from the club, info on turnstiles is from a poster on Wexford forum who was at the ground)

Great to have the seats in for the first game.

A lot of people will go out of curiosity to the first game but may not go back if the facilities are too spartan.

good man Mick

Some Drog Fans Reckon We will move to a 12,000 seater stadium on the DKIT Campus which will be ready for the 2012 Olympics, with the hope of attracting the Canadian? team to train there before it!, will also have an athletics track etc.!

**Louth4sam** · 17/03/2007, 12:59 PM

Its an 8000 all seater. I've heard a few people talking about it around town. Id be very surprised if it went ahead to be honest

**rebelarmyexile** · 25/03/2007, 6:16 PM
