    Drogheda would be nowhere near the Top 3 IMO.

    In this order....

    1,Turners Cross,Cork
    2.Terryland
    3.Tolka

    You could have Dalymount,Brandywell,showgrounds all in at number 3 really as they're all much of a muchness.

    Ourselves and Cork would be comfortably ahead of most Clubs though.

    Drogs' stadium is a stuck in the 1970's. There are plenty of other grounds that are miles ahead of United Park especially Sligo, Longford, Tolka (albeit a little battered) and the Brandywell.

    Turners Cross is the best.

    There aint nothing wrong with the palying surface in Flancare and having seen Tolka earlier on in the season wouldnt be too sure on it being in the top three!!
