looks ok[/quote]

So it does, just glanced in from the road, saw alot of plant and machinery and thought " a lot done, more to do" :smiley:

Have to laugh at the big singsong they had in the bar in Tolka for their last game there :smiley:

What is the total capacity of Legoland NCC?

that depends whether they get one of those temporary stands

without it id say 3k

If they don’t, where will they put away fans?

they will have to section a bit off- i think the oinkers are desperate for them to get a temporary stand & the local Tds have asked for it too

The away fans will have to be at least can throwing distance away :smiley:

It’s a shame that adults can’t be trusted to sit together and watch a match without needing thousands of euros worth of public resources spent on them to ensure they don’t attack each other. Animals.

You beat me to it. In all seriousness, that is disappointing.

your views wuld carry more weight if you wernt condoning munster fans engaging in hooliganism

I’d love to try and have a serious discussion on this with you. Leaving aside bandages vagina, to think that Irish sports fans cant go to a game together without needing security fences is very saddening.

as I said ,your views would carry a lot more weight if you werent so full of bravado & pro violence on the munster fan thread - your thoughts on this thread just come across as petty point scoring when you take that thread into context

bandage entrapped you pretty damn good

Why on earth would I try to score points? I am a fan of Irish football. I am a member of my local soccer club.

It saddens me that football in Ireland is in the state its in.

Its a pity you’re not willing to debate it.

And its even sadder if you are to believe all thats wrote about bandages vagina.

You’re being shown up as what you are buddy, an internet hard man bluffer.

Its a pity because I think you could have some value on here, but you’re in no way willing to do that.

I won’t try to discuss this sort of thing with you again then.

Maybe not, but of course i was just pulling NCC on it and his lack of foresight. I don’t believe you, or any other club or supporter, owe Cobh (or anyone) anything. Your 100% right, its thier business to get things right, with support of LOI/FAI.

To answer the question. Its hard to know sledge. CXobh is the wrong town anyway. Its a small town compared to Middleton, Mallow or even Fermoy. In time Mallow (expected to populate to about 40,000 in next couple of years) possible could have a team, and maybe draw support from Mid, North & North West Cork. People from those areas either live at home or in Cork, so aren’t too far away. Whereas the people in west Cork would be too GAA orientated and also many of your hopeful supporters would live too far away.

Personally i’d (if i was an FAI man) be thinking of putting huge effort into Kerry, and having a team down there. They have more or less no interest in hurling, little enough playing base in rugby, but thriving soccer leagues. Alot of people down there would love soccer, and many i know would have it second to Gaelic Football. Basketball in the towns is probably the 2nd most supported sport in Kerry. Wouldn’t be too hard to drum up some of that crowd as well.
I think there is a market in Kerry for a team.

The Kerry League have entered an U/21 team in the eircom league for the past 5 or 6 years (at least they used to anyways). It was representative side so it was easy enough for them to draw support as they weren’t poaching other clubs players as such. You will always notice a few lads from the likes of Brendans Park, Killarney Athletic etc on the Irish underage teams, they do a serious amount of development work at underage level in Kerry but I’m not sure if they had to will to push on to form a serious Eircom league club.

looking forward to the new football season.
hopefully Rovers can improve on the utter garbage they served up last year under scully.
whenever the ground is ready will be a good day for Rovers and a good day for the league as the amount of decent grounds in the country could be counted on one hand.
if bohs dont go belly up during the season they should retain their league with the players they have at their disposal. Hopefully Rovers can be the team that pushes them all the way.
onwards and upwards.
keep on hooping

What the fook are you on about?

Read back over the thread.

I did and it doesn’t make any sense. You seemed to be venting incoherently about vaginas or something.

MBB badly exposed here

Ah, you’re perturbed to my reference to you having a vagina? It was a roundabout way of saying you’re a girl. Yknow, because of how you’re acting like one on the other thread.

Hardly.
