QuoteGood to see the workmen steaming ahead there.
Will be great for the league, as well as Rovers, when it's built and you're in there.
What's the completion date ? Is a big name friendly being lined-up for the Opening ?

Whats it going to be like when the first phase is done. I assume that in time for next season the stand will be done dressing rooms etc. which will give an attendance of about 2/3k. Is there going to be a stand on the other side or on the four sides or all the way around eventually?
I heard from a good source tonight (although I still find it hard to believe) that Rovers will be charging €30 into Tallaght Stadium when it is completed. Likewise with Bohs and Harristown.
On the pics- great to see. When Rovers move in it will really boost their crowds.
Considering Ireland charged c. €43 (£30) into a meaingless friendly against an unglamorous team at a poor stadium last night, I can see why those clubs might be mistaken into thinking €30 is about right...
Was past it last monday and gutted to see it looking much like it has done for the last 3 years.....good to see things moving along since then.
Ya but in fairness,not many sunshiners will pay 30euro a week to see their team play,especially if they aren't in the title hunt. Look what happened galway this year,they put up ticket prices and they seem to be getting very poor crowds(attendance was 1003 against pats,who are playing the best football in the league).30euro would scare a lot of fans away.Originally Posted by dcfcsteve
>attendance of about 2/3k
The main stand pictured will have about 3400 seats in it. Hopefully there will be bucket stlye Pats / UCD seats in the rest of the ground. Id say capacity will be around 6-7K when it opens.

Seriously doubt that, the Rovers board and members know there are no shortcuts in football, they'll be trying to get the locals on board and 30 quid into the ground would be double what we currently charge and a silly move in the current financial climate. Id hope that the cost of entry for season tkt holders works at about 15 a game, Id say theyll charge 20 a head for adults for pay on the day customers.
We currently have just over 500 members paying 50 a month each who have the option of taking a season ticket if they want, roughly about 33% of the members currently take a season tkt and alot of others pay an extra 150 to buy a reduced price season tkt or else just pay in on the gate. On top of that there about 100 non member current season holders. Hopefully to begin with in Tallaght we'll have in total 1000 season tickets holders including hopefully about 600 memebrs by then.
Yes it will be great for Rovers and another boost for the league which it exactly why the GAA tried for so long to stop it ever happening!

The pitch looks in good nic.
Have a local side been playing on it.
Cant wait, new Tallaght and new Lansdowne.
Are we allowed play Friday nights or was that blocked ?
"Football is a game you play with your brain".
Pitch was pristine and maintained untill 2005 when the judical nonsense started....
It grew a bit long and was just cut a week ago.
And yes, of course we're allowed play on fridays.
The main stand pictured there will have 3,000 seats. Temp seating should be erected at both ends while the second stand is under construction. Second stand will also have 3,000 seats...
So the capacity for the first home game of next season will only be 3,000?

I doubt it! 3,000 would be way too small... The temp stands should be in place for opening game.The main stand pictured there will have 3,000 seats. Temp seating should be erected at both ends
30 blips is for the opening game, trying to get celtic afaik. Mate is working on the site he reckons the stand and building be done by november.
Fair enough really pats werent far off that with the spurs match afaik we playing celtic in julyish that will be 30 quid and i heartily endorse any celtic fans in ireland to go.

Great stuff. Are they any Artists impressions/computer drawing/plans on the finished stadium??
Also current stand looks curved at the end, will the plan be to have a bowl (full circle) stadium?

Yep full circle when fully finished giving 10,000 capacity, 2nd tier expandable aswell as the foundations are built to accomodate this - I've posted the plans up numerous times over the years on this forum...

Where did the figure for 10,000 capacity come from? I realise SDCC can use there own application process to change any original plans and permission. However, through a lenghty application process in 1996 and 1997 the ground was given a limit of 6,000 spectators and 20 home games a season. Is there any official papers in writing which changes these original permissions?Yep full circle when fully finished giving 10,000 capacity, 2nd tier expandable aswell as the foundations are built to accomodate this - I've posted the plans up numerous times over the years on this forum...

I understand your last comment was only replying to another.
" I'll go right up to here,
it can't possibly hurt.
All they will find is my
beer and my shirt."
Sure throw them up one last time
The last PP as far as I know was indeed 6,000. (ie: just 2 stands)
When we're completing the full circle we seek PP again...
20 games? We can play up to 40 a year afaik.
PM me your email address if you want pics/plans...
