there was 2 stands in athlone so segregation should have been fairly simple, but us in one stand and them in the other. it would have solved an awful lot of problems but then again that would have made sense so thats no good for athlone

the problem was athlone/buccaneers wanted to charge €15 for the main seated stand and have the terraces at €10 - if they segregated GUFC fans may not have paid for seats
not at all - first bit of agro all season was athlone and it seemed to carry on till the last night - not in evidence anywhere else this seasonQuote:

i feel really sorry for the genuine athlone fans, "The Mad As Cootes" as they are genuine football fans and very sound lads but the other yobs that come to the games give them a bad name and i know from speaking to them the last night that they are really trying to weed those kids out and get them banned
There wont be a next visit, we'll never b playin them again:D ;)Quote:

these troublemakers should be thrown out of the league.
