Does it really cost that much to play a game there? Do Cork have to pay the same fee for all the games that they play there as well?

We have to pay more as we actually get crowds and need security staff. The floodlights don't pay for themselves.
There's a whole host of costs associated with hosting an eircom League of Ireland game.

Indeed, like Wembley, we need to stage a minor event in order to resolve any Health & Safety issues, before the big event against Rovers.

Looks fantastic, fair play to Athlone. One slight negative - the roof on the stand looka a bit narrow? Looks like anyone sitting on the bottom 4 or 5 rows will get wet when it rains.

actually you get more fans at night games, so they do pay for themselves

, ye get bigger crowds so ye get more per person than we do, so ye have three times our security and 10-20 times the attendance, so it all pays for itself and more the only bol****s is ye dont own the ground, as it is fierce expensive, i do pity ye having to pay such high rent

i want out of there soon hopeing to be back at good old coleman park next week

Haven't experienced the stand in bad weather but then again if the wind blows directly into the stand then we all get wet with the roof height but thats the price you pay for moving forward.

saturday is game night for us we dont like fridays (well i dont, as i work shift and would get cought, so ill die before i agree to it) it will be sturday night alright, some game are moved to afternoons for (i think its) dundalk and finn harps as we have agreements with them that they will move there game with us to saturday and well move ours to afternoons for travel purposes, travel to dundalk on thursday would mean a depleted squad for us, and they get home earlier on staurday night as the game will be in the afternoon, nice agreement

**BohsFans** · 01/04/2007, 7:53 PM

What's going at Tolka?
Saw it on the news earlier, a load of the JW Hire signs along the top of the stand are missing, looks awful.

That bird who was boxing for Ireland scored a cracker as well!

**DSandy** · 26/04/2007, 10:32 AM

Any updates, pics etc. on the new Terryland Park stand over in Galway?

**DvB** · 26/04/2007, 11:11 AM

On the subject of ground improvements would anyone here have the pictures that were up here a while back of the new 'temporary' stand erected in the Carlisle Grounds in Bray!? I think there was 3 or 4 of them!
