Thomas Davis have said they will be the last man standing, they were WRONG!!
SRFC will NEVER die!!
When the plans came out two or so years ago i mentioned this on this site. I think someone (cant rem who) said it was designed like this as the wind/rain/bad weather would come from behind that stand. Now i was up there for a gander recently and yes the wind was blowing a gale, and we were getting a bashing as we sat in the back of the stand. In short the other stands will have to be built before we see the real effects of the weather on that side. But roof aside this stand is the best stand built in the LOI ever! As a spectator you would want to go into this stand such is its overall viewing scope, nothing in the way and a good gradient so even when sitting behind some 4,6 guy, he isnt going to block your view of the pitch as happens in some other recently built stands. Well done the Athlone.
I would assume the reason it has a short roof is the same reason one of ours does, so as not to block sunlight from the grass.

Why does it cost 2.7m for a 1,500 seater stand on what is essentially a green field site (i.e. no demolition) ?
"A million for you, a million for me and we'll give the job to the man from Galway"
I suspect as much..."A million for you, a million for me and we'll give the job to the man from Galway"
I don't to keep using CCFC examples but thats what I am familiar with - new shed stand cost i think 1.0-1.1m & had 1,500 seats.
I think that the €2.7million refers to not just the 1,600 seater stand but other facilities and upgrades as well as pitch work etc.
From the press release "...includes additional ancillary facilities and turnstiles"

http://www.eircomloi.ie/news_item_70.htmThis is just the latest news of stadium redevelopment affecting the eircom League of Ireland. Work on the Belfield Bowl, which will be home to UCD, started last week, while Turner's Cross recently re-opened a redeveloped 'Shed End'.
It didn't really. The builders took possession of the site but they've only put up their advertising around it so far.
It's a pretty small job they have to do and they recon they'll be finished in about 5 months.

Aim is to be in before the end of the season, according to an announcement at the club's recent alumni dinner.
Richmond looked a lot better on eircom weekly for the rovers game, is that a new roof on the shed and new terracing same end ? looked well on tv

No, they took off half the roof for some reason last season I think it was?
I think that end of the shed was nearer the pitch and the pitch was lengthened last year so it had to go.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Correct. The roof looks better now cos the rust is more evenly spread.
Amazing the difference a few small touches can make - weed the hill behind the turnstile end, plant grass on it, paint the fences red and white then put a cast of thousands in front of the fences so's you can't see them anyway.

I thought Richmond did look well on TV for the Drogs game.
The best idea ever was to put grass on the bank at the turnstile end as that was an eyesore for years.
What is the big light coloured boxy thing at the left hand side of the main stand as you look on TV?
I'm what? I'm ants at a picnic?
Agree totally, it looks really good on tv now. the old shed looked awful, was hard to see anyone inside it. In oriel when we put the new pitch down, our far side terracing was re-built and now runs the full lenght alongside the pitch and is within almost touching distance of the line, makes for a much improved atmosphere, even the 40 yo main stand looks a lot better now with a new roof, new windows, new exits and painted all over.

I have never understood why Pats haven't replaced the mud bank with basic terrace years ago. I know there have been plans for a stand but they've been in place for probably 10 years now.
Our attempt to redevelop the Brandywell was further derailed by local councillors on Monday
-We submitted a proposal for a 12 million pound redevelopment of the stadium(without a dog track) in June 2006. This was accepted by the Council, subject to a business plan.
-We employed Quinn Consultancy to provide an entire analysis of the project up to Green Book standard(required for grant aid funding) which was put before the Council on Monday
-The Council refused to make a decision, saying we had to consult with the Greyhound people. This nearly a year after accepting our proposal of a development without a track!
