It's not going to be all seater they are making a brand new stand and rest of ground will be terraced. pity they didn't go to 25 thousand with capacity. as an 8thousand capacity stand 4 thousand capacity terraces at each end 7 thousand capacity terrace at other side of the pitch would have been ideal for a neutral venue for all kind of matches aswell as Meath own matches. hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 14/04/2017 19:14:52 1979447 Link 0 |
That's a sad state of affairs to say the least. Surely you'd want to put your best foot forward and make both teams and their supporters feel welcome to your ground and town if you are the host at a neutral venue. It's common courtesy to do that.

well according to an article in this weeks paper the plans are for 21,000 all seater....broken down into 7,000 stands on south and north banks and 3,500 on east and west (terraces) and these are, as per paper, terraced seating stands.

Poor crowd in Gaelic grounds today for limerick v galway semi final in hurling, not even 10 thousand turned out hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 16/04/2017 18:37:51 1979911 Link 0 |
Interesting didn't see that anywhere can't see why all seated is needed as feel be a bad move doing away with terracing at either end all they need is concrete and steps behind each goal there. two stands either side would be good though hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 16/04/2017 18:41:52 1979918 Link 0 |
it was in the meath chronicle this week...dont know how to post up links i only read it in the paper...but yes i do agree with you, two 7 or 8000 stands flanked by two 3 or 4000 terraces would be nice...paitc tailteann is in major need of upgrade...as far as i can see tullamore and portlaoise get far more games/qualifiers over tailteann...similar to me own county...walsh pairc is in dier need of an upgrade.
