the old SR put in 2m, the new 100k. either way they arent getting a 'free' stadium and have put in a great deal more than TD have offered. no-one outside this internet bubble is claiming Rovers are getting a free ground. its pathetic that even when TD arent trying that line there are legions of mongs on here who refuse to listen to the facts of the case.
.
For ***** sake the "old Rovers " got a grant of either €1.5 or €1.9m off the Govt. They then charged the South Dublin Council €1.5m to give them back the lease OF THE COUNCIL'S OWN LAND !!!!!.
Now the Council/Govt want to build a Stadium at the public purse's expense which the Shambeggars will walk into !!!
To whom did the "new SH Rovers" give 100 k???
It was hardly to the Council was it seeing as they had to pay the various design people(Architects/Engineers/Q Surveyors a load of arrears they were due from the "old Rovers"
If it is true that
-the GAA(Dublin Co Board) offered to complete the Stadium at no cost to the Council
-but the Council refused and
-would prefer to spend a total of €11m building a Free Soccer Stadium for
-a professional soccer club that sold its own ground 20 years ago and
-couldnt make use of the free site but charged 1.5m to give it back
Is it not time the Government's Auditor and Comptroller General was called in to investigate.
Or perhaps to save all the GAA people on this board(i e everyone except DF and hoop) from further annoyance maybe the Admin could close this subject.
