I don't know the answer to your first question.
Additional seating is required to bring the ground up to Premier Division Licence standard.
Anybody know if work has started on The Bowl yet? What is there to be done to get it ready?

There's E2.5m of work being carried out, which will involve more than adding in a few seats.
There's plans elsewhere in the forum, I think. At the entrance area there's to be toilets and shop areas. A barrier has to be erected all around the ground so people outside can't look in. Extensive drainage facilities are to be installed to combat the effects of gravity. There's a tunnel or a pathway going from the changing rooms to the pitch - a distance of 100 yards or so. A few other things as well. Think there was a First Aid room or an Operations Room in the plans as well?
For what it's worth I took a stroll around there today and there's no sign of work yet. The gate was opened (the lock looked like it had been snapped by a bolt cutter ) and I sat down in the back of the stand. The glass windows at the side are filthy. Seeming as the extra seats on both sides won't have roofing I am wondering if the wall bits will remain on the side of the current stand, they really impede the view. It's like before we took the sides off the AIB stand for the LC final only narrower from side to side and therefore worse.
Is their going to be a TV gantry?
there'l have to be, isnt it part of the licencing?
Lots of things are part of licencing. Like not going broke.
I think there is a place for one though.
Is there any facilities for TV there at all for the rugby team say?
Just wondering lads, is it Belfield Park again next season?
The bowl doesn't really look like getting off the ground anytime soon and I have seen it, it needs major work to come up to scratch.
Belfield Park until April or May, apparently. Think that's been the plan since the planning appeal delayed things.
How far away is it from the current stadium?

It's pretty much right beside the Sports Centre, near the water tower.
It's terrible that the noble art of disposing of dead horses "knackering" has been transformed by linguistic ingnorant usage into a term of abuse.
They seemed to be either laying or digging up wireing at the back of the stand.
Will UCD be playing there 1st home game of the season there ?
Mid-April is now the target for the move.
