I was saying it to the lads on the way home last night, imagine the contrast between the reception we got last night and the reception we'll get if we go into the Tolka bar!!

The Derry fans were great alright, that room they have is class. They've got the wall plastered with Derry jerseys, other teams scarves and a few framed Derry related newspaper articles.

Isn't that the difference between the warmth of a real football club and the coldness of a business. :ball:

That's probably the Oakgrove on Bishop street. Well in general you'll find that northern people are the friendliest on this island. Was one of the best trips of the season cos we used to stay over but now it's back to thursday nights. :mad:

Fair play for going up though........

The bar you were in was the Oakgrove in Bishop Street. The clubroom you were in belongs to Brandywell Pride Supporters Club (BPSC).
Any fans apart from $hels and Finn Harps are more than welcome in the BPSC clubroom.
Glad to meet some of the heads Ive seen posting in here through the years, we have always had time for Big Pat after his support for us during our winding up order 4 years ago. Cork fans were sound to us after we put you out of the semi-final 2 years ago so it was a pleasure to return the hospitality.

Your photographer Paddy Cummins is to send me some of the pics he took, we might even put a few up in our clubroom.

Might bump into a few of you in Leeside next friday night !!!

BTW Last i seen of Paddy he was with our bass drum player Scoldy and on his 6th or 7th pint of Harp....Check to see if hes ok :D
