topcat(The most tip top) Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I think there is the potential, they've just made an absolute hash of things in the past. It's about maximising that potential - look at the number of rugby clubs in Edinburgh. 3 Super Six, plus 3 Premiership clubs and a handful of smaller ones dotted around, all with fairly sizeable youth sections. There is obviously an interest in rugby in the cityThe fact that Edinburgh already had several Rugby clubs who were drawing crowds at the dawn of professionalism was a big problem for the Edinburgh “Super Team” when it was launched. People who’d been watching the big time clubs weren’t inclined to switch. Glasgow had less difficulty uniting it’s public under one banner because there had only been one top flight side (Hawks) and that itself was an amalgamation anyway so they were well underway from the off.Although if Edinburgh’s marketing team faced difficulties they were nothing compared to the poor sods trying to get people from Hawick, Kelso and Galashiels to bury their differences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubo_blaha Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Upgrade to Dalymount Park to be shared by Sherbourne and Bohemians.Before and after:Visited in 2015 for a Bohs vs Rovers derby. Cracking wee ground although a shame half of it could no longer be used, must have been some atmosphere back in the day for ireland internationals. Having a pub (not a soulless concourse bar, an actual pub) between the turnstile and the stand was an amazing feature, hopefully this is retained in the new design. The plans look decent for a new build and will help them continue the community work that they seem to be renowned for. Good to up the capacity as well as Bohs were selling out a lot of games pre-COVID. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Stiles Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Was a footballing dream come true when we went there in 2019. Got there earlish, took a moment when we came out of the Metro before turning round the corner and seeing it standing there in all its glory. Magnificent. Sod seeing the great pyramid, Sydney Harbour Bridge or Christ the Redeemer. I can now die happy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor. Its only 1 stand, that is replacing the old Kop thats not been in use for years isnt it? It was all seated when Ayr visted about 5 years or so ago, and disbaled fans are already in the main stand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lose: “Accessible seating will be available at elevated positions throughout the stand, improving accessibility and providing unparalleled views for fans with restricted mobility.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
