    It's just wrong. Fact...!

    in terms of economy of scales, i dont understand why they didnt just install green seats. simple is sometimes alot better than complexity.

    Been through this before here. The seats are random colours to give the impression that its fuller than it might be, á la the Estadio Alvalade in Portugal.

    Tallaght Stadium is a quality little place with immeasureable potential so it shouldnt be knocked. Everyone should just be happy for Rovers finally finding a home, which is a fantastic thing for the league.

    i really hope that you are joking... look at the two pictures posted - how are they even comparable. One looks like a crowd, the other looks like a kids lego/duplex experiment.

    apart from that the stadium is great so far.
    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

    As you say its been dicussed at length already. Anyways it won't matter - the stand will be full so you won't see the seats.

    I really hate all this Shams love-in that has come up all of a sudden. I couldn't care less about them or their move to a council ground. They don't own it, they're tenants. Why should everyone be happy for them? I care about my team, no one else.
    Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.

    Not sure. Id say there might be some investment from outside the fingal Co. Maybe Anglo Irish Bank, OH wait

    The facility will be created to promote different sports in the north county area. It will have facilities for soccer, GAA and Rugby amongst others. Sporting will be tenants.

    Because your club benefits from a strong league, with good facilities, better public image, more fans and at least a few clubs being run on sound financial basis. It's hardly rocket science.

    Yeah Sligoman, once again you're embarrassing youself with your pride in your country. Exactly the sort of thing that's holding this league back.

    "they are the model club for the league"


    Sell your ground,
    wander aimlessly for a generation,
    spend stadium development grants on players and wages,
    rack up loads of other debt to the point of extinction,
    pay back creditors 4%,
    leave the party for a year,
    finally get act together,
    hop back in to SDCC stadium with no outlay,
    stick a few ads on the LUAS


    and suddenly theyre an example to us all...

    thats some great long term strategic planning from Rovers!!

    Jealous?? Of course i am, we're only at stage one of that strategy and we cant even f*ckin do THAT right!!!

    I recognise that with red and black tinted glasses on it's difficult to differentiate between those who did points 1-4(and caused point 5) and those who took over at point 5.

    However I would wager anything that if you took those glasses off you would jump at the chance to have the current Rovers board(or a Bohs equivelant in terms of quality and ideas) as opposed to the dumb and dumber show you have at the moment. I know I would.

    The way the club are running themselves NOW is an example to all LOI clubs on how to do it right when you get the chance. I hope we can do the same in the future.

    ....and to think I was on sligomans side until you posted

    In fairness the Kilcoyne's completely shafted the Club & Supporters back in the early 80's by disgracefully flooging off Glenmalure Park and pocketing the lot. If they knew then how land prices were going to go through the roof, they may have held onto the ground a little longer and there may have been the funds for Rovers to re-build elswhere with being a drain on the economy of SDCC...

    Rovers were buggered once the ground was gone. Personally think it's good that they have a permanent home once again in their traditional South Dublin base....

    Drogheda - Proposed new 10,000 seater gorund outskirts of town,plans abandoned for the time being

    Limerick - moving into Markets Field in 2010, 7,000 seater

    Pats - 8,000 seater ground in St michaels estate,inchicore,date unknown
    Both of them unlikely to happen I'd say, the money just ain't there
