From listening to the report, it sounds like the BBC had to FOI the report. I wonder will the council publish now that they had to hand it over.

It's going to be the prettiest empty stand in LOI football

Bohs awarded 24m Euro and Sligo 16m Euro towards their respective stadium plans.

Won't be long before Rovers, Bohs, Cork, Pats, Sligo, Shels and Derry are all playing regularly in front of big big crowds.

Fair play to POD for pushing on with our stand. Really important not to get left behind as other teams grow.

On that note, any update on the release of the Sub -Regional Stadia Money to complete the MF stand?

I don't know if you have seen the plans for the Showgrounds and Dalymount, but I got to say these are really impressive. I hope the funds Sligo and Bohs received allow them to press ahead with the planned redevelopment of both grounds as they will certainly elevate the standing of both clubs.

A business case had been produced by the club to be submitted by the end of June. The expectation was that the letter of offer would arrive before the end of this financial year with the money released to spend in the new financial year. That was the info given by Sean Barrett at AGM the same day the £36m was released by Gordon Lyons

Who said to stop building it ffs. He made a comment and unless there is drastic changes on and off the park he's 100pc correct.

You don't think using a new stand is a weird stick to beat the club with? Slag the manager or the players fair enough. No need to bring the new stand into it

All he said was good luck filling it- nothing against the club for building. Your the one that brought the conversation down that route.
