EA Sports Pitch Invasion

Has to be Dundalk.

maybe this is what you mean:

The Prize consists of 1 x football pitch redevelopment for the winning club. In the case of Shamrock Rovers, Dundalk FC, Limerick FC and Derry City FC the prize is transferable to cover a stadium redevelopment to the value of €5,000.

YOUR 3 IN A ROW LEAGUE CHAMPIONS

Why are they being treated differently to say Cork who rent their ground? Is this more anti-Cork bias?

all joking aside the pPitch is actually due for an upgrade at the end of the season

but, you keep telling us that we are been hindered by our pitch and we would be better on grass, so why would you want us to have grass then?

Just don't think City need it so the worst pitches are probably Tallaght, Jackman, Oriel and Dayler. Jackman won't be around long and the SDCC can afford to fix Tallaght so its either Dayler or Oriel. Can vote for Bohs if you guys are too proud to take it

A few concerns,
a) It's not an open ballot from the start. So there is a more adversarial nature to the competition, pitting One PD club v. One PD club.
b) The Draw was not streamed live. So there should be concerns about the Transparency of the outcome.
c) There is a default setting, so the percentage of errors in voting may weight towards one side.
d) There appears to be no restriction on Voting. So Chads can vote for Pregnant or Hanging Chads, nobody can stop them.

Personally, It's venues that have least resources flowing to them. But mindful of the resources necessary during installation and upkeep.
The Oriel Park vote would probably be total as the most expensive for EA Sports, but that doesn't guarantee best Value. There's also the cost at the club for continued maintenance of pitch or re-training if returned to grass.

For me, Jackman Park (Priory Park) to come out a winner. It would be a lovely gesture from Airtricity League online-Fans to leave Limerick Junior Soccer (LDSC and LDMC) with a legacy of the usage of the venue.
Don't like Dalymount Park and Oriel Park in the same tie, those pitches would benefit from been part of the open vote.

Any investment into the league must be welcomed, I'd give the 5k to Dudnalk now on the condition it must go towards the away end

Some Clubs Are Bigger Than Others

5 grand wont get you much. I know the astroturf cricket wicket near me costs 8 grand and that is only about 25 X 3 Yards.

5k is 5K but it wont get ya feck all.

I was told before that it cost about 5k to just get samples and tests done on the sub soil in the Showgrounds. (they wanted to see if it was good enough quality for drainage to lay a new modern sand pitch on top - its perfect for it too I hear)

This competition finished last week and results were to be posted on 8th june on Extratime website but it seems no results posted yet does anyone know which club won or maybe its also gone to the Aviva
