Sorry, didn't mean to imply that one little bit

I have believed for a while that Shels will end up in Tallaght as will suit the FAI, Pats, Bohs, Shels & the Government.

I heard they will be building Las Vegas Court apartments in Tolka.

Seeing that we've accommodated them for years I don't see why they wouldn't do the same for us if needs be. Morton is the only one for me anyway ( regardless of doing it up -though I'm not sure about licensing ) -there's no point moving out of our natural catchment area.

Rovers wouldn't have a say though. It'd be all down to SDCC

Up on last season?

Your two biigest games this season have been Cork last Friday....1,000 and us in the LC where we had more fans so don't be holding out for attendances.

Have to agree with Dodge that Tallaght is looking like the only move, there is no point putting money into morton stadium IMO.

Rovers have been moving because clubs don't want them in there grounds which i can't see being a problem for Shels so if you do move to Tallaght you will be in the same boat Rovers are now and I think most Shels fans would now take the position Rovers are in now above the mess your in.

Early round cup games attract less than league games, let alone League Cup games.

Agreed but for division one teams to draw a big tie against Cork and local rivals and get two terrible crowds is poor.

IMO there is no way their attendances are up.

Do you have one?

Anyone I know from Santry who supports LOI is a Bohs fan.

thats why we had Pats, Shels and her majesties Bohemians all courting us this season? a three way reverse auction ensued which saw you all bid each other down?

clueless.

Us and Pats were just trying to ensure Shels didn't get too much money in rent!

an arrangment that saw shels get less of our money and certain members of Phibsboro Loyal's board of management on their knees.

Win win for the hoops.

Was only making the point that you had to move in the 1st post which you did, TBH i was happy when you were in Dalymount, more revenue for the club.

Of course your going to play in Tolka, they would take a tenner a week rent at this stage

Rubbish. Our biggest game of the season was Kildare County at home and we had a crowd of 1700+

Our crowds are no worse than Rovers got when they were in Div 1

Ah the local derby

How about this-

Shels take their €3 million (or a significant part thereoff) and go to SDCC who use this to part-fund the construction of the ground in Tallaght. The stadium is then not wholly funded by the council so Thomas Davis' case is shot to f**k.

Everybody wins.

its not wholly funded by the council at the moment. dont believe the GAA lies!!!

thomas bigots are taking the case on a technical point of council procedure in relation to the vote, nohting to do with funding.
