Best Stadium - Poll

[twowheelsonly]

While the best pitch/worst pitch debate is going on there's also a poll on the Eircom/LOI site on the best Stadium in the country.
Turners Cross (35%) is ahead by a country mile at the moment with Tolka (17%) in second place.
BTW, Turners Cross outside wall is finally getting a long overdue lick of paint this week.

Poll is here, on the left hand side of screen;

Weird link

Anyway ots on the LOI homepage

www.loi.ie gets your there. They like you to use www.eircomloi.ie

Not even a discussion that Turners Cross is the best

[HarpoJoyce]

With Buckley Park out of the running and the three Cantilevered stands there, maybe Turner's Cross should get the nod from me. The seats are fresher than Tolka's at least. Just Dalymount is the Home of Irish Football and all.

But I havn't seen the new stand at Terryland Park and how it fits in to the original accomodation.

I think the curved stand at the Brandywell is the best looking stand in the eircom league. God Save the Football Trust.

what do people thik of ramblers thsi yera i think ots a very neat loking ground of late with major plans for expansion and covering on the way!

What is the criteria for a good stadium though? Is it pitch, the stands, the look, or the overall facilities? Dalyer has 3 bars which is hard to beat but other than that Turners X gets it.

[twowheelsonly]

Don't know what the problem with link is. Worked ok for me the first time but won't work now. It's eircomloi.ie anyway.

I like Ramblers ground now as well but it still has a way to go to match up with some of the better grounds. The new stand is a fine job if a bit strange looking. (It's bigger at one end than the other!)

I've always liked Dalyer as well but it has been let go a lot over the years. Pity as it has the best potential of the lot.

Work is due to start on covering the St Annes end in TX in the next couple of weeks so that will be all four sides covered then.

My fav away ground is still United Park because of the noise you can make in that shed.

[Guitd]

has to be turners x but they could do with improving the playing surface looks better than what it is some players have said to me
terryland is great now with new stand and great pitch but the capacity is small at 3300 seats

[BohsPartisan]

Its all very well stadia looking great though, they need to sound great IMO. Modern stadia are not built with atmosphere in mind. Standing areas with low tin roofs all the way!

One too many?

[gufcfan]

In the absense of Gortakeegan I voted for Turner's Cross.

Agreed, really ****ed off that our league cup tie has been moved to Tolka

[pete]

The cross is clearly the best as has 4 completed sides.
If Dalymount had 4 sides would be an option.

It always surprises me that so many people choose Tolka. It looks ok on TV but IMO is a terrible ground to attend as it very run down.

Jackman Park all the way! Drink and smoke what you want without fear of dirty looks from those who like to sit at games.

Nah, it'd need serious, serious work to 3 sides to even come close. Of the none 4 sided grounds go, Galway's is probably the best.

grounds I like include United Park and the Showgrounds in Sligo

[GavinZac]

rounds I like include United Park

Er... why?

[Dodge]

Small, tight to pitch. Usually a good Pats crowd and usuallya good atmosphere.

Obviously its a kip

Oh ok. Just think this poll is more directed at where it stands between "classy" and "kip", rather than how good of any away day it is. Cobh is a good away day but a terrible ground.
