Limerick and their 2 golf stands and Standing areas, well they aren't terraces.

Best 3 - Cork, Sligo, Derry(Brandywell)

Wexford's place is awful. The location makes it worse.

There were a lot of complaints from Waterford fans about toilets and general facilities in Tolka Park from game earlier in season. I haven't been to game there in a few years but even then I remember the toilets at one end of stadium were a disgrace and should be closed down. It's sad to see what was once one of Ireland's better grounds in such a poor state and it will be hosting Premier Division matches next season too when Bohs move there.
I think Wexford's ground is ok with a nice clubhouse but a good bit away from town centre on a country road.

Toilet situation in Turners Cross is like something out of Auschwitz.

Worst ground is oriel Pk, and the fact it passes the FAI test every year only shows up the FAI for what they are.
Some strong handed decisions are needed in the licence dept, to improve this league once and for all.

Just think of the clubs that wouldn't get a licence because of their stadium; Harps, Pats, Bray, Drogheda, Wexford, Dundalk. The only clubs that have good stadiums are clubs who don't own their stadiums.

what on earth is wrong with Richmond? It's got two stands, proper paved terracing elsewhere and us adequate for pats'current needs. It is in no way comparable to oriel, Finn park or united park

Richmond isn't that bad a ground, certainly not by league standards. United park is a kip.
No thank you Turkish......I'm sweet enough

Ya, I suppose for a club like St Pats it's alright but some clubs are trying to build their support.

Some clubs get fans to help put cleaning up and painting etc. In Oriel Park tonight there was a fully grown plant and thorn bush in the away end. The flood lights are been taken over by ivy. One day would get rid of this. It's not hard. Have another day of painting.
