Businessman buys into Shamrock Rovers


Shamrock Rovers' stadium under construction in Tallaght
Thursday, October 28 2004 10:49

Shamrock Rovers Football Club have announced that businessman Conor Clarkson has become a significant shareholder in the club.

It is understood Mr Clarkson has put over €9 million into the Hoops.

In welcoming Mr Clarkson as a shareholder, Chairman Tony Maguire said that this was a very significant day for the club as it paves the way for the ultimate completion of the stadium facility in Tallaght.

Further announcements will follow over the next few weeks.

Shamrock Rovers have been homeless since April 1987, when the then owners of the club sold their home ground at Glenmalure Park, Milltown. The club has since played home games at a number of venues in Dublin including Tolka Park, Dalymount Park, Richmond Park, the RDS and Morton Stadium.

I hate the scummers...

Still, this is good news for the EL and good news for Tallaght. Once that stadium is completed and Rovers start putting down roots in the area it'll do wonders.

What will the finished stadium look like ? Will it have a stand all around the ground ? Is there training pitches there ? And finally I wonder does it meet UEFA standards

As much as I hate Rovers, this is good news for the league.

One of the more established clubs, with a good history, able to continue.

I hope they can now concentrate on football, and try to weed out some of the scum element they have attracted over the past few years.
