If there was any doubt before if St Anne's end was good to replace the current shed .... the other night confirmed that it will probably be better .... The good times are only about to start !!!

If any one can see it on video, have a look and see what you what you think !!

erm no

It was great that one night granted, can you imagine it being that good, when the likes of longford come down for a league cup replay or something to that effect, will be v hard to get the crowd going, and also the sound just floats away into the night sky

I tend to agree with this.

Thursday night was exceptional. Full house and EVERYONE singing masked the fact that a half full St Anne's end would NEVER match The Shed. I think we should cover this end as a matter of priority.

It would be excellent if there was a roof on this end though and would actually generate MORE noise than the Shed does now.

So I agree, a cover for St. Anne's end is a priority.
But . . . every song and drum beat carried over to the shed end of the Donie Forde stand, despite the fact that we were singing our hearts out too. And it looked brilliant. I have not seen the television pictures, but I have heard many people saying that it was really special, expecially the scenes when the arms were aloft clapping in time, waving at the Djurganders fans, and the long chants leading up to the kick outs.

The big question though is WHEN will the roof be put on the St. Annes end ?

As this is a matter solely for the M.F.A. I wouldn't be holding my breath !!! :(

st annes end is a horrible place to watch a football match. For starters, its nowhere near steep enough, so the view isn't half as good as in the Shed. There's no roof, so wait til the rain hits and the crowds run for cover, not to mention the impact on noise levels. The gaps between the rows of seats are too small, I nearly tore the back of my legs apart trying to stay standing up with the drum. NOT A FAN!
