Stadium Updates (All Clubs)

**bluemovie** · 12/02/2018, 7:49 PM

We've asked for 500, but there's whispers that we mightn't get half of that. Hopefully the stand will be fixed. I'm surprised they're cutting it so fine after four months.

That sounds like nonsense. It's highly unlikely the game will sell out. I don't think we've ever had an opening game sell out.

**bluemovie** · 12/02/2018, 7:58 PM

Cork want us to sell our allocation in advance. We're being told away fans can't just rock up on the night and buy a ticket. I thought it would definitely sell out as the champions first home game. Cork people love a winning team.

This is correct. Your own crowds last season showed that.

It's not just the stand.
There's lots of other work as well including new toilet blocks,wheelchair ramps,cages etc.

Very good. Fingers crossed it'll be right then. It'll be our first away game in the Premier Division for a decade and only down the road so loads of fans want to go and it'll be some headache if they can't all go. I'd be thinking we'll bring 400-500 just because of the game that's in it. Our away crowds will more likely be in the region of 100 for games elsewhere.

We've won the league before, but we haven't sold out the first game of the next season. Need to get a few games in to build up momentum for the first sell out against a top team.

5,500 or so would be a great crowd.

Good to see they're getting prepared for when Rovers come down.

Looks a smashing job to be fair.

For the 5179th time, it's just been announced at Harps press conference this evening that work will recommence on the new ground "within weeks"

Unless there's a blurry photo, I just don't believe there was any press conference

**Duggie** · 20/02/2018, 7:40 PM

Will they have to bulldoze the one they built like 10 years ago before they start building the new new one. Pathetic.

Would a blurry video suffice?

Always good to hear Ollie Horgan saying it as he sees it

There was a stand built 4 years ago if that's what you mean?

I didn't realise concrete had such a short life span..

I don't think anybody is more frustrated than Harps fans and committee at this project. While it's been said at a press conference AGAIN that work will soon progress, I'll not be holding my breath.
