Hill 16

The offical figure is 50k and if rumours are to be believed about 4,000 seats have been lost due to design faults.

You asked for it Flano in fairness.:D[/quote]

I did have my coffee, cappuccino & mochaccino to be exact.

I’m worried about your levels of caffine intake

He’s no Sean Kelly, but I would tentatively say, at this juncture, he is well ahead of Brennan.

It’s my alcohol and cigarette consumption that’s worrying me.

Cigarettes and alcohol? You should write a song about it.

I’m after becoming an americano man myself, although i’m trying to keep the coffee intake a bit lower than recently.

Indeed, he’s quietly efficient as opposed to being a media whore / simpleton.

Kelly was a great great man. A true leader. :clap:

Anyone read Kelly’s book?

Fuck no.

No but there is a chapter in which Kelly proclaims Colin Lynch to be one of the greatest men of all times…

there will be large sections of the stadium left empty and closed off with glass, mostly in the areas between the upper and lower tiers, not sure if it was a design mistake.

I heard something similar. That there was an issue with the stand roof due to the overhang that would leave a large tract of seats either unused or restricted viewing. This may not affect soccer but would be an issue for rugby.

To be honest, this is all hearsay I’m hearing and in that picture I believe the roof was still to be raised up a bit. Does anyone have anything concrete on this?

who did you hear this from? i find it hard to believe that world renowned architects would fuck up

:rolleyes:

Its been posted on other websites but I have yet to hear it clarified in the press. I was lead to believe it was something to do with the need to lower the stand due to residents objections to the original proposals, re natural light, etc.

Ya bad sight lines were what I heard. 50k was small enough. If the other bit is true then its some fuck up
