[QUOTE=sbgawa;1976309]Why is it not possible to spend 20/30k on a clean up and repair to one of the unopened ends.
If Bohs could sell another 2000 tickets at 20 that's 40k.
Is it really that bad or is it a case of heath and safety gone mad.
There are other grounds with very sketchy facilities that are apparently ok[/QUOTE
]even if work was done (it won’t be) it would be near impossible to get the necessary clearance in time for this weekend. Far as I know Connaught St side was declared unsafe by DCC and it is not realistic to get that reversed in time.
Bohs have Jodi, which is sold out and Cork have Des Kelly Stand. Any Cork undersell will not be sold to Bohs fans for segregation reasons.

UCD doing well so far. Dundalk should be down to 10 after a tackle by Cleary but only a yellow.
Cracking goal by McEleney
Just want to point out the lino and the fifth official both missed the ball going a good yard out of play for a goal kick and let play continue. The lino gave us a throw before changing his mind and giving Dundalk the throw. Never seen anything like it.
1-0 probably a fair reflection of the game so far unfortunately.
It's great having six incompetent officials instead of the usual four!
Playing on with two balls on the pitch now. Sure why not
heh, just saw that! good advantage on one hand but downright strange on the other. Lovely McEleney strike. Decent Crowd. Great advert for technique and good passing, this game. UCD growing in confidence, but Dundalk should see it out. Anything happens in the Cup though, as Stephen Alkin said.
No advantage; it was our throw and we lost possession
Only UCD could play it back to the keeper twice in the 94th minute when 1-0 down...
Still, better teams will go to Oriel and lose 1-0. I think we'll do ok next season
Been a good football year though
A very good advert for the league, UCD were good in defence and in the middle of the park. They had nothing up front though, and never laid a glove on Dundalk the whole game.
Two awful decision by the officials in the first half, a clear red card for Cleary and a stonewall penalty for Dundalk. Even with six officials they can't get basic and obvious decisions right.
It is terrific to see McEleney back in form, making his detractors look as foolish as they are.
UCD had graft but couldn't create anything. I suppose it's unfair to judge their Premier Division prospects on their performance against the best team in the league. I can see them doing well next year.
Also, Fats is back baby![]()
My thoughts too - and away from home as well.
We showed against Waterford we can score. Davis is only a new addition; not played ten games yet. Farrugia had a spell out injured this year too. Get them a run against Premier opposition and they'll improve.
Bottom line is that's probably as close as anyone's gotten to Dundalk in the last 20 non-league-cup games, the one game against Rovers aside.
Waterford fans are for once hoping for a Cork win tomorrow as then 4th place will be enough for Europa league. People in the club seem confident that we can play in Europe next year as the new owner cleared all previous debts. It would be nice to get it confirmed officially as fans are getting excited as haven't played a European game since 1986.
Dundalk were simply a better side. We acquitted ourselves respectably but Dundalk didn't have the off day required to topple the best in the land. Both sides will end this season pleased with themselves.
