Maybe if we had someone who could actually drum up a tune on the drum it would sound a lot better instead of the crap just been beaten out of the drum!!

Cousins left Shaw on cos he's a way better target man than Sully. Shaw can win ball in the air and hold it up, two things Sully is not great at doing.

I'm going to wade in here and say that we have a drummer. A good one at that.

At the end of the day it's a football stadium not a library and a lot of people would prefer an away team making noise than sitting in silence for 90 minutes. The atmosphere at home games has been shocking this year. Bit harsh on the longford drummer as well, we don't really sing that many songs that require a beat so the louder drum does the job when we have a roof to work with ala Galway away this season.

If I ever win the Euro millions I promise to pay to put a stand all around the grond with the emphasis on an enhanced accoustic VIP section boxed off not for the suits but for Section 0

I'd take a wooden fecking shack at this stage.

I dont like the idea of lads scurrying to the shelter of the stand when its ****ing rain! its defeats the purpose of being in section o. through rain,hail,sleet and snow you stand in the open supporting your team! thats something I have done consistently and the elder members of section o have done.

I dont like whats happening to be honest. Either you are in section o or you are not! its not the first time that it has happened this season and I am not impressed with it to say the least!

also all this talk of the club havin a shelter for section o around xmas isnt it any wonder why not many people volunteer to help the club out any more !

Thats primarily the reason why I dont really enjoy home matches any more! rant over.

Anyone can beat a drum. Drumming with a bit of rhythm, that's a different story altogether!!

Any trumpet players out there?!!!

**nigel-harps1954** · 05/05/2015, 10:17 AM

Here's a suggestion...it shouldn't cost too much to stick a bit of a roof over a few sections of the ground over that side, how about Section O run a few fundraisers to raise money for a roof there?

You'd be surprised how much a roof that side would cost

That's true so you can understand why the club haven't been able to do it as yet. It'd be nice if there was government funding available at some point. It's not like we've gotten a lot to date in comparison to others.

Itl never happen, the lads are over there a lot longer than Me and they've been asking for years.

Maybe if we ever get into Europe again the prize money could be put towards the ground. The lights will have to be upgraded at some point too so we'll have to win a round or two!

You're gone mad, Ted.

In Tony we trust

**nigel-harps1954** · 05/05/2015, 6:44 PM

I'm not talking about the whole side, just a small section. I'm aware of the costs involved, but maybe if a few fundraisers were ran and put to the club they might lighten up to the idea rather than simply asking the club for it to be done? It'd make a huge difference to the ground.
