Croker Singing Section confirmed

The Singing Section has the green light starting with the Georgia game on February 11.
The FAI want what the fans want - an electric atmosphere and three points.
1,600 tickets have been allocated together in the Davin Stand for fans who want to sing and be the hub of the Croker atmosphere. If you are a block booker, you can transfer to this section without losing your block booking privilidges.
The idea is to create colour and as much noise as possible and Trapattoni will officially launch the Singing Section later in the month.
Tickets for the Singing Section will be available to the general public with block bookers getting first preference.
To get your ticket, e mail your name and block booking number (if applicable) to youboysingreen@gmail.com Max 6 tickets per person.
This is our chance to get behind the team and roar them to South Africa 2010.
Georgia is only the start and by the time Italy come to Dublin we will have a giant 12th man jersey to cover the crowd.
So for those who want to give it socks and get Croker rocking, sends the e mails now.
APPLICATIONS MUST BE IN BEFORE THURSDAY JAN 15.

Ring the ticket office on Monday
You don't need to be a block booker, the FAI will be selling tickets for the section from the LFA offices in Merrion Square.

Latest news will be updated on www.ybig.ie

Ultra, apply through that e mail address and we will then send on to FAI. They will look after the tranfers etc.

If anyone has already applied for normal tickets and want to transfer, just say so in mail and send your BB number

We had one before, at the start of the "eL section".

However the manner in which we were shafted by the FAI put a lot of people off.

They seem as eager as we are to get it done right in fairness

Well done on persuading the powers that be in Abbotstown.

Can someone update the status on the Facebook page so that everyone who signed up can hear the good news?

How were you shafted? From the little I know about it the FAi gave an additional allocation to EL clubs for this area in Lansdowne. Did they take the allocation back or in what way were you shafted?

As a blockbooker from day 1 I was never given the chance to relocate to a singing section, but will quite happily relocate to the Davin Stand, I just hope that they do not limit the numbers in the area, I'd imagine the whole Davin upper and lower could be filled with real supporters.

Mento, a couple of points

Where abouts is the singing section, lower Davin centre, upper Davin centre or mixture of both ?

Are they going to allow us to hang flags ?

cheers
