Stadium Updates (All Clubs)

Standard Comer brothers strategy and well known too. Buy distressed assets and sit on them for years. The Sentinel building in Sandyford is a good example. Google has all the details, it's no secret.

I dont know the place but an eyesore can be subjective, the shopping centre in Phibsborough is a brutalist landmark to some and pure eyesore to others, maybe even has preservation order on it. Hazardous is a different story but there are properties for sale there? I dont want to do the 'source' things but there are minimum standards for renters and buyers - engineers reports needed for a mortgage etc. I'm interested rather than stubbornly casting doubt!

It's in danger of falling over into the Ballisodare River, the foundations are subsiding, the site is not secured and anybody kids included can access it, nobody has ever lived there and nobody ever will it needs to be tossed.

everything i hear about the Comers i like, even up here in the big smoke the moves they are making and investment in Palmerstoen Golf Club....thye just seem to do everything right

Haha what? They certainly don't do everything right and I'm a Galway United fan! They are not even well liked down here, they have half of Galway bought up and a lot of it is sitting idle and derelict.

Derry and Crusaders have launched legal action against Gordon Lyon’s in regards of being overlooked in the recent grant awards….

Appreciate the detail. This is exactly what I meant in anothr thread where govt. et al neglect enforcement of regulations, imposing taxes on hoarding land and complex holdings manipulating supply, not using the derelict site act, not threatening compulsory purchase at significantly below market rates for purpoose of social housing. The mechanisms exist after the ghost estates debacle of the last decade. It is in part how SDCC took on Tallaght Stadium when SRFC couldnt manage or secure the development when it was becoming derelict and dangerous. There arguably could be a case fo Donegal CoCo in Stranrolar but it'd be more likely they would demolish to secure the site if Harps were not trying to sort it. I suspect that under this weeks new tax breaks for apartment complex sales that something will happen on this one. Its an eyesore due to its dereliction though rather than the development being poor. I dont like it when old buildings like Mills are demolished. Plenty have been restored and repurposed retaining the original building character.
