While we are talking about stands, does anyone know the story regarding the development of the 3000 seater stand at Mick Neville Park. I know that it got planning permission but everything seems to be at a standstill now. Its badly needed. Its a great pitch but a horrific place to be a spectator.
JP bought the Markets field for the soccer. Would there be enough grounds to develop that with the dog track around it, into a monument to JP McManus? Imagine a 50,000 capacity stadium in the town, similar to Thurles, it’d be fucking class. The Garryowen massive would have a field day with the Roasters coming in from Clare,Tipp, Kerry and Templeglantine.
Nowhere near enough space
Perhaps, but I’d love to see them get planning permission. Residents have already limited the height of the stand. So you can’t go up and you can’t go out.
How many years ago was that?
The rugby were allowed build a stand that can be seen from Patrickswell
The new stand will be facing the setting sun. Another disaster!
Is a 3,000 seater stand or a 3,000 capacity stand they got permission for?

From Wiki - In 1979 a major decision was taken to update the grounds completely. It took three years before plans were drawn up for a new stand and in 1986 planning permission was granted by Limerick Corporation for the Mick Mackey Stand. The updated stand was completed in 1988, just in time for the Munster hurling final. In 2004 the biggest rejuvenation of the stadium was completed with the opening of a new 12,000 uncovered stand along with 2 new terraces behind both goals at a cost of €12 million. The current capacity of the Gaelic Grounds is 49,866.
U17s went well the weekend- Walloped Clare by about 30 points, beat KK after a great battle but lost to Cork who they should also have beaten handy… Young Peader Collins- NaP - Played very well at Corner back - Some-where the minor team are short on a bit of quality.
Copy & Paste alert.
Yeah- From where?
God knows, your E-stalking credentials are way ahead of mine.
Would there have to be a sculpture of PJ at the entrance so that we could kiss it’s feet as we paid our money to go to see a match? I hardly think they would allow an effigy of him bent over so that we can kiss it’s arse. That statue is down in the failed salesman’s office where the controlled numpties of the county board go to worship PJ in private.
What’s the ticket situation like lads?
Our club only got 9. 6 terrace and 3 stand.
Talking to 3 different Tipp people today and they all reckoned they have enough tickets already through the clubs.
Should be excess on thursday
John Galvin finally getting some sense, albeit probably too late for his inter county career

Will he start for them?
Yup, He’s togging with their junior A’s sun
Surely not allowed play with a Club’s Junior A side (if that Club has a Senior team, which they do) when transferring from the Senior side of another Club?
Cratloe mightn’t even have a junior team. They play in division 3 league.
The senior football Q finals are this weekend though.
