Late October back in 06...never to be forgoten.
One of the best trips in a long time....bar the result and performance of course.
Arrived in Derry in plenty of time went to get our tickets but the Derry Stewards tried there best to not sell us tickets,had us running around the streets.In the Q for tickets we sand a bit....the best one being YMCA as a group of colourfully dressed Derry folk passed by.
Went to the Oak bar and sang like mad for am hour,drove the locals out the door.
Some were dressed as Santa,some in white overalls and the rest in their Sligo Proud red and white.
Then it all went wrong......1-0,2-0...i could go on but its only going to end 5-0.So to make the most of a bad occasion we sent on a few of Santa's little helpers...in the form of Ado,Staf,Patterson to name half of them.
After the game things went a little worse for the travelling army,Staf and Ado got lost(or went to the pub) and after searching high and low for them we left....wonder where they are now.
Anyway,end of rant,apart from just saying well done to the Derry Stewards for making a complete arse of themself with the tickets and with trying to catch 6 drunks as they got their minute of fame.
