    Just read in the Sunday Indo there that the work on renovating Semple Stadium is nearly complete, with floodlights, upgraded spectator facilities and changing rooms, VIP lounge and improved seating to Ardan Ui Riain.

    First of all, which stand is the Kinane Stand? Say if you're watching a match on TV at Semple, is it the stand the main camera is looking at, or the stand the camera is situated? Because thats where most of the improvements took place.

    Also, anyone got any links to pics or vids or the renovations?

    Thurles has always confused the sh*t out of me with old stands and new stands etc. I am 95% sure that the smaller stand(new stand) or the one you see on the tv is Ardain Ui Riain so I suppose the stand the tv camera is in is the Kinnane stand.
    Won't be seeing those new improvements though myself because I tend to stick to the town end terrace.

    Cheers, that's what I was thinking. I think its something like the Ardain Ui Riain is the new stand since it was refurbished 10 years ago now. But then the Kinnane stand was renovated 5 years ago so thats technically now the new stand, but they must've forgot to switch the names :pac:

    You're lucky btw. The town end terrace is much better than the Killinan end terrace, yet that's where they always seem to stick the Waterford fans.

    well, you have the old stand, then the new stand then a few years ago the old stand was lengthened and a new roof put on and it became the new old stand and the new stand became the old new stand so i guess now we have the new new old stand and the old new stand and some corners filled in too
