Complete new steel structure going in. The old terrace beneath it is gone now in places.

Great to see development work progressing.
Hopefully this will encourage more people to come along and you can get on with the job of finishing the ground to spec.
5,000 is ideal for a club like Cobh Ramblers for the forseeable future.
Best of luck with the work and hope to see you in the Premier asap

whats the story with the new stand
looks like very little work done recently apart from the blue backing,
wasnt it expected to be finished by now.
wheres the concrete for it and all the talk of how quickly it will be put together and finished within 6 weeks from start ?
anybody got any updates.

**don ramo** · 21/03/2007, 4:10 PM

there is no concrete it a metal dack as far as i know and we are now at the stage where we must pay for it ourselves so gettin money together takes time i heard it may be another month before completion of the seats, but id say well be playin there before the seats are installed,

nobody wanted these delays, thats how it goes and we all know it, so there is no point the next post criticising someone at the club the commitee and everyone attached to the club want this completed ASAP,

**GavinZac** · 21/03/2007, 5:30 PM

sack the board

no, i understand you're frustration, similar situation to ourselves. looking forward to going down for a game when its done, preferably against one of the new clubs

**A face** · 28/03/2007, 9:40 PM

**MojoPin** · 28/03/2007, 10:15 PM

how many more negative replies will there be, the stand is up, now we must wait for the decking, it not like its been siting in someones yard waiting to be delivered, first you need the money, then you put your order in and pay for it, then its added to a schedual in the steel factory, and when its made it will be shipped over, unfortunatly for us were Cobh Ramblers not manchester united our liverpool, we dont have millins available to help us get up the queue, the steel is suppose to arrive in the next week our two i hope it arrives soon to and all this will be forgotten, all im seeing is progress its slow moving but there has never been this much progress in such a short amount of time in the history of the club and all pepole like to do is complain.

**don ramo** · 30/03/2007, 3:13 PM

was there today, they're building the walls in the corners and closing them off and there putting in steps to the north terrace as it was hacked away each side for the floodlights, the pitch is lookin great also

**ramblers** · 30/03/2007, 3:50 PM

The reason people complain is because other people give out wrong info to make themselves look good instead of giving out correct information.

The Chairman stated in the Echo last November that the stand would be finished in December so people expected that the Chairman knew what he was talking.

When you give out dates and you dont meet them and there is no updates then people will complain because there expectations are not met.

So Don Ramo you told us it should be completed by the end of the month in February we are now nearly in April so it is as much your fault that people complain as anyone.

ya i did say that but i have since given up on giving dates, all i know is we are back at home next week, and the stand will be completed in the next few weeks when the steel is ready it will be shiped over and installed, i can wait without complaining but thats me i suppose

exactly, if i heard two years ago that in ten years time we'd have a new stand like the one going up now i would be delighted, few weeks or months wont bother me once our stand is put up. dont think people realise how big a deal it is for our small club.
