Light at the end of tunnel for relegated Rovers

SHAMROCK ROVERS hope to play the last four home games of the coming season at their new stadium in Tallaght but could yet be lodging in Tolka Park for the bulk of the campaign.

Following Monday’s meeting of South Dublin County Council, which approved completion of the Tallaght Community Stadium, a nine-month timetable would see the Hoops installed there towards the end of their First Division campaign.

In the meantime, Morton Stadium in Santry is their designated home for the year but club officials, whilst admitting they are looking at other options in Dublin, have refused to confirm or deny that Shelbourne have already put forward an attractive proposal for the use of Tolka Park.
