the 5,000 houses and the DUFC complex are decoupled. He will build stadium etc. first and if it turns out later (after stadium is finished) that he doesn't get plan permission for houses then that's tough on him - but he'd be more likely to get plan perm for 5K houses if infrastructure in place beforehand. Still a one lane accees road for 5K houses and a 10K seater stadium even if it's yards from a motorway is a bit irish. Anywho
Most money coming from developer as FAI own most of United Park.
It's to be built in one phase - it's how they operate. the roof on each stand can be removed and a further tier inserted should we want to double capacity for example in a future bid to host euro champs etc. not likely but possible. It's the way forward!
You'd need to triple capacity to host a Euro game (minimum requirement is 30000, I think)

Hunky Dorys Park - could be worse, we could be going to Old Trafford every other week
Talk about jumping the gun! Lets just hope the 10,000 seater staium is built then we can dream of the 30,000 capacity Euro Championship Stadiuj being built!!
So after June 18th if nobody puts in an objection you start the building phase ?
Is that right ?

They get to the "finding the money" phase.
No they have to wait till the 4km link toad is built before they can start building according to the drogheda leader, this is to be approved by the NRA. Expecting this to get the go ahead shortly according to the paper, then the finding the money begins but I'm pretty sure that the funding is in place from the developers of the site.

A 4km has to be put in place before they can start to build ?
I guess you'll be in United Park for years to come then...
No way that will be finished anytime soon is there ?
Stu, any chance you might answer the previous questions I asked on Shelbourne overspending anytime soon ???

By all accounts, a large chunk of the money is coming from the sale of United Park, which as far as I'm aware (and I may well be wrong) hasn't been agreed yet. It has planning permission alright, but I haven't heard of anyone wanting to buy it. Given that flats in Drogheda are going to become markedly less desirable as property prices fall and people in the likes of Drogheda, Gorey, Port Laoise, etc, move closer to Dublin, that's going to get harder (and the cash will get lower) as time goes by.
Usual question for higgins - what are you on about?!
It would appear that the funding for the road is in place, in fairness to Drogs they seem to heve every angle covered and the stadium will be being built off site while the link road is built.
The link road is essential as I believe it goes right down to the Colpe Shopping centre due to open shortly. It is also essential for the developers to build the commercial aspect of the site, so it's not quite a case of the road being required just for the stadium. Also 4km of road from a greenfield site should be very straightforward, IMO.
Drogs reckon they will be in by 2010 and I'd believe them.

He's just clearly wrong, didn't have any evidence and doesn't have the balls to admit it... just let it go higgins!
