There is no way the FAI have been buying houses behind the north end. They don't have the funds to do that. Its possible the IRFU might be. It is their stadium.

It's IRFU land but the stadium is split, bit of a strange situation really. It's a pure rugby stadium though. Seating not steep enough on lower tiers, way to many premium seats and in one of the most affluent areas in the country.

As a number of people have said it looks great from the outside but that's about it. The Nou Camp looks fairly sh*te on the outside however I know which stadium I'd prefer to have! I wish we built something as good as the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. Fans right on top of the pitch, seats tiered really well so almost everywhere in the stadium has a great view and then a retractable roof to really ramp up the atmosphere. |

To answer the question, of course the expansion could happen, but with the IRFU having severe financial issues and the FAI struggling I find it very hard to believe they are buying up property in D4.

It more or less is. The supposed "Joint Ownership" is only for 50 years then it reverts to the full ownership of the IRFU |

So people who own their apartments don't actually own them as there is a finite lifespan? |

fai definately wouldn't have the funds to be splashing out on houses especially at the moment.....no need to extend the capacity in the aviva it is as fine a set up as any out there

Yeah, the toilets in Warsaw were also odd.... the frickin' doors! Who thought that was a good idea? The ones in Croker are excellent: a big entrance and a big exit, no doors, and just a chicane type deal so you can't see in from the outside. From what I recall, Gelsenkirchen also had opening and closing doors. It really is not hard to get right, so you'd wonder why it is so often got so wrong.

In Poland there seems to be a tradition of having doors in public toilets. At the airport you have to open a door to enter the sink area then open another door to get to the urinals. It doesn't suit a stadium though and it was a disaster at half time trying to go to the jacks. |

It really is. To have a blank sheet of paper and come up with that stadium is criminal.

Not really a blank sheet the site had a few restrictions which affected the design. The Design has won a few awards as well . But i would agree they could have done a lot better

Definitely not a blank sheet. Restricted by surrounding buildings, the dart line etc. It was a reasonable job considering the restrictions they were working with.

It's a 1,000 times better than the old Lansdowne and you know it. I can't remember people praising the jacks in that stadium, or the wooden seats that the English fans ripped up and used as missiles, or the weird wall in the middle of the North Terrace.
The only reason the atmosphere is sometimes sh!te is when there's no fcuker in the place. There was nothing wrong with the atmosphere when Shane Long belted that ball past Neuer.

What? Why would the FAI put themselves 50million in the hole? They'll just about have paid off the debt when the IRFU get it back |
