It's a disgrace and embarrassing when other counties come to Drogheda. No the clubs fault as it is just a club ground. Darver should not have happened until County ground was done or ideally it should have included it in Darver just like Owenbeg. ged (Louth) - Posts: 313 - 04/04/2017 13:42:54 1975408 Link
What similar developments have Louth undertaken that Mullery was interested in talking to Louth about ? Perhaps Louth are going to move away from their Parnell Park home and back to their other home ground in Navan when it's all done up, it would make loads of sense really.

Front page of the Drogheda independent this week says an announcement due soon on the redevelopment of the Gaelic grounds . Anyone here of any progress or another false dawn? louthman57 (Louth) - Posts: 303 - 09/05/2017 21:29:47 1985549 Link
Will the home games be played in Dowdallshill during the work period? 19616609 (Louth) - Posts: 1683 - 10/05/2017 00:44:28 1985577 Link
Replying To 19616609: "Will the home games be played in Dowdallshill during the work period?" Wee could play them in our second home in naaaaaaaavan. OLLIE (Louth) - Posts: 12224 - 10/05/2017 11:04:56 1985624 Link
There have been rumours circulating that the HSE has looked into purchasing land off Drogheda United and the Gaelic Grounds for redevelopment and expansion plans. Can't be sure what substance there is to this, but at least it would be movement. Sometimes losing an option can be progress, staying in the same place can be what takes over.

A good reason not to develope it. 19616609 (Louth) - Posts: 1683 - 15/05/2017 19:35:04 1986934 Link
Replying To 19616609: "A good reason not to develope it." People tend to forget that point and it really is one of the main reasons why we shouldn't develop Drogheda. What other counties out there have a ground that the pitch would be the main pitch for a club within the county. Madness. LU.ABU (Louth) - Posts: 120 - 16/05/2017 10:20:08 1987026 Link

Replying To Greengrass: "What's another decade Ollie ?" It's a decade ago that Louth last faced Wicklow in the Championship. OLLIE (Louth) - Posts: 12224 - 16/05/2017 20:27:58 1987279 Link

Replying To OLLIE: "It's a decade ago that Louth last faced Wicklow in the Championship." Certainly is Ollie. That was Micko's first season in charge . It was a rollercoaster but we made it convincingly in the end . We got to the last twelve that year and gave Cork their fill of it . And meantime back at the ranch we still have the worst county ground in the country. Greengrass (Louth) - Posts: 6177 - 16/05/2017 21:07:45 1987296 Link

Our captain marvel from the great year of 1957 also died a decade ago Dermot O Brien. OLLIE (Louth) - Posts: 12224 - 16/05/2017 21:30:21 1987306 Link

Replying To Greengrass: "I didn't think it was that long ago Ollie ." Yes Greengrass it's hard to believe that it's ten years ago. OLLIE (Louth) - Posts: 12224 - 16/05/2017 21:46:44 1987313 Link
