Because grass banks aren't permitted.Originally Posted by nr637
Why not step the grass banks like terracing temporarily until they can afford some concrete!

Every little bit helps, a lot of other clubs could do something similar, get rid of all those grassy banks still around!

Not open for spectators though. Only people you'll see there are officials, LOITV commentators, PA, etc. Originally Posted by nr637

Not to mention it's not a grass bank either..just weeds and rough stones and gravel. Originally Posted by thebronze14

The airtricity League and the demise of the the grass bank terrace, what a shame!

I used to go behind whatever goal we were shooting. Remember running on the pitch from there in 2004 alright. It was very steep compared to the town end, remember nearly falling down it a few times! Originally Posted by nigel-harps1954

If that area was terraced like the opposite end, would it attract fans or is the view too limited! Originally Posted by thebronze14

I'm sure it would. I'd say people would move ends at half time. They talked about doing work there a season or two ago but no real point as it would take people from the town side and there's no point in leaving both half empty instead of one end fairly full Originally Posted by nr637

Same as, used to love the River end back in the day before the change to the summer football season. Big rush down the hill when Harps scored and had many a tumble especially on a December or January night Originally Posted by thebronze14

Club looked into it, as said, but I think there's some planning issues because it's a river bank. Originally Posted by nr637

Have to say that between Harps' floodlight issues and the prospective FAI centre in Cork now getting canned, it's been a depressing few days from an LOI facilities point of view.
We have had some close calls in recent years with the collapsed stand in Markets Field, our own fence in Cobh collapsing during a Derby. You wonder with growing crowds and substandard grounds, what's the worst thing that has to happen for the penny to drop among those who can actually affect change, and I don't mean the FAI as they clearly cannot help. Stadiums are at best embarrassing and at worst dangerous.
Is there any genuine chance of this changing?
