The kids has been attended to and i think the annoyance will be reduced this year.
A dump of a ground??? Thats easy to say but jeez, where do we get the money from and hopefully the new roof for the stand will be up soon. Thanks for the welcome back EANNA ;)

:D I look forward to having my mind changed :)

Have to say - from my few experiences of Bray, these characteristics hold true.

Yeah i did, but at leaqst you have a very nice club house and a good size covered stand. St. Mels just seemed to be covered in tin roofing, even around the premiter of the place.

Flancare Park is not always cold...
There isnt the best atmospherre but there is a small 1 ;)
There is a few annoying kids but nothing like Bray
And 1 thing is for certain, The Flansiro is not a dump of a ground...

So NO, Carlisle Grounds are not like every other ground in the eL, They are just crap in their own way :D

Eh it's Ireland were talking about here, it's bloody well freezing most friday/saturday nights no matter were you go ! The coldest i've ever been at a match was a toss up between Hars Vs. Bray or UCD Vs. St. Pats. There isnt the best atmospherre but there is a small 1 ;) - just like Bray so. Every club has annoying clubs and the only reason why we notice them no matter were we go is becuase of the lack of crowds. If every ground was fully we wouldnt even know the little ****s where there :p

There are worse ground in the eL than the carlisle. St. Mels, Finn Park, CHP, St. Colemans, Belfield to name some of them.

And you'll be all delighted to hear that work has started on a brand new jacks, no more aiming in the dark and hoping for the best :D

Mels is worse alright.

Id put Carlisle on a par with the rest you mentioned apart from Belfield. There might be nobody there but they have a nice little stand. :p

Interesting theory!

I'd put Belfield slightly above the Carlisle purely because

1) the jacks and
2) the fact that we don't have a corrugted iron cowshed spoiling one side of the ground.

Belfield's actually a tidy little ground, in fairness - though that's about all you can say for it! :) Hopefully when it's done up, it'll be better!

Finn Harps by far the best!!

Yeah, for a 1st division team it is :D

Galway is the favourite. Super place, good fans. Derry on a overnight is great if they play ON A SATURDAY.

Cork is a great town but should be a saturday night where you would have more away support.

But of course every Hooper is looking forward to Finn Harps this season. Not much of a place but always great craic and great to see crowds at a game!

Harps and Longford are usually good crack. Haven't been to Galway in years but was good when I was there.

Back in the good auld days of Winter football,we always seemed to be drawn away to Sligo on Stephen's/boxing day.Some great trips,always good (drunken) crowd without any hassle, unlike trips to other un named neighbours! ;)

Our supporters club have a club room now above our local, which we'll be using before games. The ground is only five minutes away.

We'll have sandwiches for any away fans that are about and look forward to having the banter like with the Longford fans last season before the League Cup Semi and the same with the Drogs the season before in the FAI Cup. A handful of Drogs enjoyed the 'local delights' so much they ended up staying the whole weekend partying with our lads.

I always liked trips to Galway and Drogheda myself.

Looking forward to a wee trip out the road to United Park this season :)

Hang on, what about the amount of times both these clubs have to travel down the country, our closest rivals are Derry next prob Drogs then Longford...

I would say Galway is the best for an overnighter, looking foward to the Cork trip as the FHFC Dublin Suporters club are having an overnight trip down this season

I'm not the worlds biggest fan of travelling so 5 hours in a car makes this MY worst trip. It's not because of the fans/town etc....

'handful of Drogs enjoyed the 'local delights' so much they ended up staying the whole weekend partying with our lads.'

Indeed we did - got to a stage where we had a local that weekend ;)

'Looking forward to a wee trip out the road to United Park this season'

Its a pity where you have to come from though - hope you use plenty of disinfectant before coming down seen as you're up in craptown ;)
