Welcome back PC
great to see the progress in tallaght, is the side where the wind comes in off the dublin mountains?
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Fancy new scoreboard
Aye it is, was supposed to go in down the square end but for once sanity prevailed!
That not always there?
Sporting F*ck All!
It's been there a few years but wasn't there when the ground opened.
That's been there since 2011 I think.
Aye it's been there a few years alright...
Nice memories those two full time scores, I think the Macabi win was worth just under 0.5M on its own but the real money was after the BATE game which guaranteed EL group stages and that crack at Legia Warsaw.
Great to see Tallaght improving, hopefully we’ll get to use it again later this year.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
How good would it be if Rovers had a similar scoreboard for their Euro games! Stadium modernization is key to improving the overall visual image of our League. When I got into the LOI in the late 90's, Turners X was a very pale shadow of what it is now, I'm not even sure the Main Stand was yet to be built. Last year it was good enough to host a National Team Friendly. Finn Harps eventually will have a new Stadium too. Would love to see major renovation to Oriel by the next couple of seasons.
Architects currently examining options for a fourth stand in Tallaght. Will be brought to a meeting by the council in October.
That'd be fantastic to see. Another stand similar to the one being built would bring capacity up over 10,000 wouldn't it?

The new South stand will hold 2,195 seats. So double that onto the current capacity of 5,800 will bring it over the 10,000 mark. Not sure if any funding as been awarded for this yet, they're more than likely just exploring the option as it would be cheaper while the South stand is being constructed.

That would be great to see - kudos to SDCC for considering it.
It would hardly have much impact for regular Rovers league games, but it would open the door for the council to get additional revenue from other events
Maybe they will be able to give us all the tickets we want from now on
Any pics of how the current development is getting on?
Louth County Council have announced today that they are planning to develop a municipal athletics facility, 8 lane running track etc. To put their dedication to building municipal sporting facilities in contrast to SDCC this is planned for 2020 and the running track will be grass!! FFS a grass running track is their initial level of ambition. They have plans to eventually lay a professional running track but that will be after 2020 and by how long is anyones guess. So if that is the extent of their efforts on this project can you imagine what a municipal football 'stadium' would be!!
looks good , this was at the Derry match last Friday.
