Is there only one stand in the ground?

monkey9 · 01-10-2008 1:20pm

So now would be a good day to go shopping in town without being mugged

The ground will open on completion of Phase I of the project; 3200 seater permanent structure, shop, bar, function rooms, offices, boundary wall with a plaza area outside the same as the tower hotel across the road. There will be a 2000+ capacity covered temporary stand the other side of the pitch, similar to the excellent one at the Carlisle Grounds in Bray AFAIK.

Currently yup. There will also be temporary bucket seating.

Edit: snap

Best of luck with the move. Barring a cup tie I wont be seeing it for a long time. Or unless ye fancy getting relegated again.

Pigman II · 01-10-2008 3:50pm

Looks very nice! It'll be especially good with trees encircling the pitch if the planned drawings are anything to go by.

BTW, what are the buildings behind the main stand? Methadone clinic perhaps?

Thats a grand stand out there, we cant all play at the Flan Siro you know, lol.

Club shop, bar, function rooms, SDCC and club offices. Clinic is not till Phase II, we are taking advice from a certain party in Inchicore on that facility.

You are mistaking us for Pats. Rovers is all about the cider. Which is lucky because the place will have two bars and a hotel next door.

Stadium will in time be the existing stand on all four sides, but in the mean time temporary seating will be in place and we will build as we go.

Clubhouse and museum to go in as well in the medium term.

CiaranC · 01-10-2008 4:10pm

Also the section at the right rear is a gigantic two story Leo Burdocks.

We used to do our alfresco summer drinking very close to where the site is now. Now I can do it in comfort.

bohsman · 01-10-2008 4:31pm

Very likely to be a casino directly beside the ground aswell.

Dave! · 01-10-2008 4:33pm

Is the construction (phase I) actually complete then? I haven't really paid much attention as I passed by there recently, but I thought it was still ongoing.

My da has a soft spot for Rovers, so maybe I'll take him there some time

Only if you're nice to me though Ciarán... :pac: How much do ticéidí (not season) usually cost, and where does one purchase same? Tis only 2 minutes up the road from me

Start of the coming (2009) season.

Single match ticket prices are here (in the bottom-right hand column)..

Nunu · 01-10-2008 4:44pm

What's the word on what day home games will fall on?

I heard it will be Saturday afternoons? I work most Saturdays(really have to get a new job!) so season ticket would't be much use to me...will be at all games I can make anyway.

Would surprise me, unless theyre planning on going to war with Setanta - foreign league matches cant be showed here while a loi match is being played. The league used to have a deal with Sky to get around that.

No definitive decision made yet. Word is the Guards dont fancy Friday nights due to local traffic congestion. Consensus over on the hoops forum seems to be Saturday evening kickoffs would be preferred. Think Id fancy that myself and seems the most logical.

zAbbo · 01-10-2008 4:57pm

Ticket prices aren't bad, all things considered.

For someone who doesn't know anything about Rovers, it did take me about 5minutes to find out where the stadium actually is (Tallaght)

Maybe a better job can be done, to provide maps/info on how to get there.

(Yeah I know most people know, but that kind of info is vital for newcomers)

applehunter · 01-10-2008 6:12pm

Luas goes all the way out from Dublin City Centre.

Its accross the road from the Square.

Top of the left hand column- Tallaght Stadium

Very rough map here.

1: Stadium

2: Luas terminus

3: The Square shopping centre.

The stadium is on the junction of the N81 and Whitestown Way. Directly opposite the Tower Hotel on one side and The Square on the other.
Whitestown way seems to come up on some maps as Kiltipper Way.

The square is about 5 minutes walk from the stadium and is serviced by the Luas (Tallght station, the terminus, on the Red Line) and the following bus services: 49, 49a, 50, 54a, 65, 76 , 77 and 77a. Get the timetables by searching for Dublin Bus + Tallaght in Google.

Alternatively take exit 11 (Tallaght) on the M50 and take the N81 until you see the stadium on your left.

A taxi would be in the region of 15-20 quid to town.

In fairness, a picture of a stadium, with no directions, public transport information or a map.

If you want people to go somewhere, make it as accessible as possible.

There are loads of soccer mad non locals who've no idea where Tallaght is, but tell them it's on red luas line, or in Dublin 24, or Dublin bus XYZ goes there - and you'd get a better response.

If the site provided the information posted above by stovelid, it would be a great help.

I was talking to a portuguese lad, who didn't know we even had teams over here, he thought that was why everyone supported Celtic and Man United (his words)

Point taken, but the stadium isn't open yet, so nobody will need to get there 'til next season.

We're still playing in Tolka at the minute. The club site provides good directions for the current club office in Parkwest, and I'm sure they will provide the same for the new club offices when they move to the stadium.

Its a more plausible reason than reality.

[Jackass] · 02-10-2008 12:32am

Looks great. The pitch looks in very good condition also, fair play.

TheBigLebowski · 02-10-2008 8:50am

€200 seems fairly reasonable to me for a season ticket. Anyone want to speculate as to what the demand will be like?

Also, what are the prices for other clubs season tickets?

Its had several years to bed in. Survived recent flooding without any bother, while the fields around the ground became a quagmire. YOu can see the drainage running across the pitch on this shot.

My understanding is that the pricing compares favourably with the other clubs in the premier. Cant seem to see season ticket info on Shels, Pats or Bohs sites though. The family deals are phenomenal. 2 Adults and 2 Kids for 21 euro per game!

Only guessing, but Id imagine somewhere between 1000 and 1500 season tickets will sell. They'd make an ideal christmas present too

CiaranC · 02-10-2008 2:28pm

A couple of my favourite videos of the support, to give the uninitiated an idea what to expect:

I think i paid something like E220 for my season ticket at Pat's. That's standing. The main Stand is around E280.
