    St Pats ground

    What is it like?

    The reason why I'm asking is because last season, we went to do the Brandywell and we where restricted to a few hundred, the same at United Park,

    Is this going to happen here as well?

    Any chance you could have either

    a) used Google

    b) posted it in the Pats Forum

    a) I thought this was an Eircom league site so thought it would be better asking here.

    b) Team forums are not very activeon this site, so thought it was pointless.


    But the most fascinating thing is you took the time to say all that rather than be a nice fella and give me an answer

    its a great ground....
    main stand about 2000 seats.
    "shed" terrace behind 1 goal
    Terrace on the other side facing the main stand.

    Dont exactly know whats behind the other goal at the moment
    There was 1000 temporary seats there for our european game and for our last few home games last season and the rumour was they were to stay in place for this season.
    Away fans were put in the temporary stand so if thats the case you could get up to 1000 seats.

    The club owns a pub just outside the stadium which will hopefully be open for away fans

    www.saintsforum.net is our MB, post on there to keep the derry fans quiet

    Hee hee. The words "Premier" and "Division" come to my mind for some reason....

    To answer the original question. Richmond has improved a lot in the last few seasons. It's a fine compact ground by LOI standards now. The seats behind the goal still seem to be in place so I'd guess they're there for the season. Plenty of room for Linfield fans there I'd say.
    Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.

    Literally a hole.

    There used to be a slope on the pitch which was rectified when St Pat's dug it up and sunk the pitch to make it more even. So it is indeed an absolute hole.

    They didn't even bring that many. You'll get one stand to yourselves (uncovered) but whether they have a section cordoned off for security or not I'm not sure (I'd guess yeah). That stand holds about 1,000

    We usually do bring a good crowd with us, and up to now there has been no trouble with us in any other games... but I am picking up some bad vibes about this one for some reason.. is there a reason why we should be aprehensive (not that it matters as we will be there regardless)?

    first linfield SSC game in dublin (bar the final v shels when there was a bit of trouble)
    It'll be a big test for the security and our club to stop the sellthick/sf heads who fancy causing a bit of trouble.
    you wont get any trouble from the majority of pats fans tho and hopefully it passes off peacefully.

    portadown had a few issues but they were all with the gardai rather than the fans, in fact alot of them had a good few pints in the bar with us.
