do u really think cork will walk away from a perfectly good stadium and spend a fortune on a new one?Originally Posted by GavinZac
anybody know how many covered seats there are in the cross or total number of seats even?
The lease hasn't changed hands yet. We were taking money down from the agreed selling price. I thought this was all common knowlegeIf you don't own the lease and haven't banked any money, how can you still have a sizeable amount of money to come form the deal ?!?Surely you must own at least a portion of the lease still in-order to retain any financuial rights over the ground ?
Who owes you these millions, and when/how will they be released ?
Yes and 7,500

Nah, the seating is 9,223 or something like that.
When the roof goes on St Annes, they'll all be covered expect for the front of Donie Forde
They are walking away from it because the MFA are too hard to deal with. €40 million was the tag they are going to spend. It will be multi-purpose, concerts etc. (huge demand for it in Cork right now). Thats the reason Tynan is there now, he has huge experience in this the Greyhound Racing crowd in the past.
The sad thing is if the MFA didn't have their little power trip thing going on The Cross would be the site that would have been developed further and there would have been a huge benefit to football in Munster. Too much of an old boys club to see the woods from the trees.

The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
Yes. Initially, the ground isn't even really entirely for Cork City. The investment group see the potential in having big games in Cork but until that point will be making their money from concerts etc. At the moment the second largest city in this country relies upon a tent in a car park for its entertainment once a year.
I don't think so. Theres no parking in TC, theres no room for the training facilities, entertainment facilities, conference facilities etc. that will be part of the new complex. Were it not for this stadium move, the investors would not be there, so we'd be enjoying our lovely stadium in TC with part time players in the first division.The sad thing is if the MFA didn't have their little power trip thing going on The Cross would be the site that would have been developed further and there would have been a huge benefit to football in Munster.

Your Chairperson,

Cobh Ramblers own St Colmans Park
I didn't know the Lord Meath conection. I remember 5 or 6 years ago the lease from the council was due to expire and a developer wanted to build a hotel on the Carlisle grounds, but the council vetoed it and gave us a 35 year lease instead.
the showgrounds is owned by the community
The chairman/president of Connacht Rugby wants to join forces with Galway United to build a jointly owned self sufficient stadium on the outskirts of the city. The Sportsground rugby stadium is run by Greyhound Board but it is a valuable bit of real estate as it is only a few hundred metres from Eyre Square and is next to City Hall.
Nick Leeson is determined to move Galway United out of Terryland but has never made comments about a joint venture with Connacht Rugby.
Whats wrong with Terryland? Is it that GUFC dont own it that he wants to move out?! I think that would be silly unless ye are paying rent. Its a perfect stadium for ye and its even expandable further...
GUFC are paying rent. He wants a self sufficient ground with a bar, drive thru McDonald's, B&Q, rail station, Starbucks and maybe even a small airport.
All very nice but dependent on...
The deciding question - Will it have a tunnel?
Any idea what they are charging you for rent?
Whats the craic with the Brandywell - is it council owned ? is'nt there Derry & District games played on it as well ?
No idea Buller. It's funny how we all slag Rovers about being homeless when it seems most clubs don't own their own. Cobh do and Kilkenny City (RIP) do. I think Dundalk so too.
Who will actually own Tallaght Stadium?
South Dublin County Council, but it turns out better than us actually owning it. Its the best possible scenario. The ground can never be sold as we dont own it. We dont pay rent. The upkeep of the ground is payed for by the council. The only "disadvantage" is that we only get 50% of the advertising revenue. It will be a dream come true after all these years...
By a Trust.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
A trust in the community? Sounds like a new RTE sex drama
So why did someone say the Couincil owned Tolka then ?
If you own the lease - it's yours. The Council are just the Freeholders.
Nah Stu..... Ye're just tenants for us taxpayers really!
Yes..
