Dreadful area of town, and not just because of the sectarianism.
I do think it's too big for Linfield though. In the old ground, with around 1,000 people there (or less), the atmosphere is just awful. Any noise is lost in the vastness of the space.
Akin to how Thomond was with Limerick really.
Whats the latest with the supposed redevelopment of the Brandywell that was supposed to start two months ago now ?
Ha, 29th May we were told.
Delayed because of any number of excuses.
Take your pick from:
•Delay of funds from OFMDFM
•Awaiting approval which was delayed because of Casement
•Bats
•Contractor hasn't been found yet
•Greyhound fellas haven't been accommodated yet
New date for commencement is August-September...ish.
Oriel Park lease latest;

Cumann Peile Dún Dealgan - Champions 2015 (too many accolades to be typing)
Termonbarry Athletic TID!
That's a very honest piece by the Dundalk chairman, hopefully the Oriel lease can be sorted .
Agreed but I wouldnt be too bothered to see 'The Home of Football' signage disappear - its about as subtle as 'We are the Champions' over a Tannoy in July 2013
It s not a major deal but it is hardly an original or accurate 'slogan'. It isnt 'the' home of football as much as our home of football. It seem a tad arrogant imo but so be it. I vaguely remember Micky Duffy wanting to have a 'Fortress Oriel' sign erected as we languished in the bottom 3 of the 1st Division, and a 'This is Oriel' over the players tunnel. Fortress Oriel is less cringeworthy if it was done these days. There are many greater things for myself or Dundalk fans to be bothered about!
This is Oriel doesnt seem so bad now...
Great documentary on last year 'the crazy gang' (Wimbledon) Fash or Vinny Jones did just that to the 'this is Anfield ' sign, they made sure they were out first and took a black marker to it and wrote 'bothered' then sat in a circle on the pitch laughing, I think they beat them too. Horrible club, but a funny story all the same.
