It would also get rid of the dangerous Bohs ambush route to Rovers games.

and replace it with an even worse route for bohez fans

Classic

Great idea by Rovers and it would really be a calling of bluffs big style. If it's legal do it by all means possible.

Brilliant.

Good news hope it goes ahead! I take it the temp stands will be like the ones used at Bray then?

Irony!

Best of luck with this. As an aside the floodlights in St. Mels park look abandoned when I was down there last week-would add to the squatter chic if you could get a 40ft flatbed down to Athlone and help yourself to them before they go in a skip

I doubt we would be allowed install flootlights... The original planning permission has floodlights part of the stadium roof.

I thought the original planning permission had now expired? Hope so, didn't An Bord Pleanala restrict matches to Saturday and Sunday afternoons only with a maximum of 6 midweek evening matches?

Have to say , I drive past there every morning and the playing surface is impeccable , obviously someone is maintaining it , it looks great.

I agree - passed it on Saturday - whatever about the delays in getting to use it, the pitch will have benefitted immensely from having so much time to really bed in properly. It should be one of the best surfaces in the country when it's finally in use.

Much as i dispise rovers and their element of scum "fans", i've always been in favour of them getting into Tallaght, being from Tallaght myself, i know how much the area would benefit from LoI football...(i won't talk about Tallaght Town selling out.....been over it too many times)
Know a lot of people involved in davis' and have been disgusted by their attitude on this issue....
Will be fun to see how they react to this news

**passinginterest** · 23/07/2007, 11:32 AM

Great news I hope it works out. I spend a lot of time in Tallaght and will definitely go to games there when it's in use. It's a great location, very easy to get to and should be easy enough to police. As long as the little scum bags don't take it over it has the potential to pull in very big crowds.

meh, I'll settle for an average attendence in the region of 4 or 5 thousand... for the first couple of seasons...

**Mr A** · 23/07/2007, 11:42 AM

I would imagine that Rovers will get great crowds after they move to Tallaght, and then will drop off a bit after the novelty wears off a bit.

It'll be a great move for Rovers and the league and I hope it works out, and soon.

**DRDoc** · 23/07/2007, 12:15 PM

Really hope this gets the go ahead

fantastic idea by the Hoops - fair play

would love to see the TD reaction to this one!

Not according to my design.... or LUX level drawings i did up..... We have 4 floodlights, one at each corner (obviously)

The original design (done in 2000) didn't provide any pitch lighting in the roof.

If this will change now that SDCC have taken over i don't know, but the original design had floodlights in the corners and not on the roof....

I'f you'd like i can send you a copy of teh design (without our title block)
