    UCD 1,200 seats, with another 3,000/4,000 standing maybe. Depends on how much you like personal space! New stand at the end of the season to bring seated capacity up to 2,500.

    To answer your question, Dublin City and/or Limerick might have smaller capacities than Kildare. Oriel has the highest capacity in the league since Dalyer went all seater.
    EL grounds are like good episodes of The Simpsons, no matter how many times you see them they're still funny

    I dunno what kinda capacity Pike Rovers Sports Ground really has... I'd say you'd probably squeeze in 2,000 or so at the moment though... We had about 2,000 in The Jacks a couple of times too.
    The ball is round and has many surprises.

    are we talking about FIFA regulations on grounds or just how many people you can stuff into the place, if you talking FIFA then Tolka is the Biggest, Turners Cross is Next and then Flancare after that its over to the rest of you

    There may have been 12,000 people at Oreil Park once & because they not done any renovations since the middle ages i presume thats why they still sticking with 12k?

    I'd be amazed if Oriel was still capable/allowed hold 12k people.

    They have 200 seats anyway, according to Dermot Keely in an exclusive interview with STIG, the UCD fanzine (says I, not plugging us at all! )

    Seriously, though (so I don't get banned), 200 seats plus standers.
