    That's what I was worried about, it's a shame that astro turfs in a relatively central area aren't plentiful. If anyone has decent astro turf ideas please suggest them here.

    There is an Astro Turf pitch in Tramore too. Probably too far for some people

    There are loads of pitches around town these days. It's just a matter of getting one that suits people. It doesn't matter to me as I drive but where would be best for people? Villa probably isn't a bad shout. We played a few times in the one in the riverwalk apartments last year which wasn't bad and was very cheap.

    Not looking too shabby at all I think it's fair to say, certainly it should be in the double digits.

    Numbers look good, it's just a matter of finding a location at the moment. I don't know how the Villa inquiries went but, Villa and Kingfisher aside, I'm struggling to think of too many more central astro turfs.

    Does anybody know how much the astro in Hibs or Bohs would cost for an hour?

    No but I can't imagine anywhere is more than €50 an hour.

    The only problem is proving to be getting into contact with any of the clubs in the town as I haven't a clue who to contact in order to book the astro with one of them.

    As an alternative, purely because I know people at the club and already know the rate for an hour (€50) would anyone fancy the Ferrybank AFC astro?

    It's a bit of a spin but it's alright for me. But I'm sure we can get somewhere more central. What about The Riverwalk where we played before?

    Really? Is there a league running down there or something? There was never anyone there this time last year.

    I think the plan had been to start tomorrow but at the moment I'd say that looks unlikely given that we haven't got a venue.

    Ok so I've booked the Ferrybank astro from 8-9 tomorrow. I know it isn't ideal for everyone but I figure for the first week it will be grand just to get us up and running and we can talk about where we can go long term. So I will begin the list, which we used last year. If you can make it please put your name on the list so we can get an idea of numbers.
