    new training pitch

    According to a good source, Dolan and Lennox were in Deerpark CBS near turners Cross on Friday.

    They have by all accounts agreed to use the schools huge pitches/gym/changing rooms as the new base for training.

    What happened to the place in Mayfield? I cant comment on the Deerpark place but I guess that it would be handier for the players to get to as its right next to the X and they basically have it free all summer with the kids out of school. Does it have flood lights for night training?

    meself and GWA were watchin them train in Colaiste Stiofain Naofa last tuesday night. It was dark, and dolan still had them out there playing seven a side.

    And murphy passed us by without even a grunt, let alone saluting us.
    Whatever it was I am sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?

    Did you really expect some acknowledgement from Gunther?

    That's a big problem alright. We really need a place with lights. Although I suppose with the advent of summer soccer it won't be as much of a neccessity.

    Of course they have lights, how do you think they played on Friday nights last season?

    Why can't they train at the cross when they need lights though?

    That is a very stupid question for obvious reasons such as the degradation of the playing surface as a result of being overused and also for some less obvious reasons.
    In order to obtain the FAI Club Licence and meet the UEFA Club Licensing objectives the FAI have outlined that all National League clubs must secure the availability of training facilities for use by Senior Team, U21 Team and Youth Development Programme.
    The required training facilities are 1 full-size grass pitch, 1 grass or artificial training area with floodlights, 1 dressing room.
