[QUOTE="Amiga500, post: 504826, member: 56767"] It is great for what it is... However, what it is is unfortunately too small. The IRFU should have had a rethink when they seen they were getting 82,000 into Croke with people still looking tickets. Given that there was all the talk of BertieBowl around that time; they could have perhaps pursaded the govt to forgo the light requirements (or buy out the row of houses) that force the North stand to be so small. If the North stand was around the same size as the others, I reckon you'd be looking at 62,000 or so seats - which is still too small. Now, rip out the seats* along the entire lower deck and replace them with terracing (who actually enjoys sitting at a match**?!?) - so capacity could be further increased. *Or go with the German model of seats that entirely fold away. **If you do, you can f**k off to the clouds and the top deck with the rest of the prawn sandwich brigade.:lol: [/QUOTE]
