Happy days. This is a great idea. We have seats in the lower davin over to the left and if we even hint that we are about to stand up people behind **** their pants. Its not good. Expect to see some pink ireland hats bopping about in that area with you all!! :D
tell me where and how i can get in singing section?
and eirebhoy brilliant, bout time we bring some of the gaelige to irish matches.
Its the best news the Irish team has had in years! I've been in Lower Davin for a while, and the Poles were amazing. You're right though, I got told to sit down from a lad behind and that was near the end when all the goals were going in.... so sad. And its been shameful seeing everyone leave 10 minutes before the end. Dont get me started on Dunphy and his crew aswell!Quote:

And I'm bringing someone who'll sing with me aswell !!

This is a great idea (finally) but the serious problem is the location. The view is terrible from the lower Davin.
Surely someone should suggest to the FAI that the pitch is moved closer to the Davin end and away from the Hill (leaving them even further from the pitch). After all, they're only away fans.... and it would surely add at least some much needed claustrophobia to the pitch. Away teams need to be scared, and to do this they need to be brought closer to the fans.
[this is all a bit tongue in cheek, but it still doesn't solve the issue that the view from the lower davin aint great. i'm top deck, back row of the hogan, level with the goal line at the davin end, and the view is actually pretty good, and much better than down there..... although i do appreciate the need to keep the singing section in the lower centre, as it were, and there's no way it would work in the e70 parts of the stadium]
The view in the Lower Davin is fine so long as your not down too near the pitch. I've being in the upper part of this lower tier (Row EE) for all of Ireland's games in CP and its fine in my opinion.
I believe the Singing Section will be up towards the back of the Lower Davin as the guy in the FAI ticket office confirmed my new singing section seats to be Row LL.
True, safety in numbers. Should work alright. I guess if everyone is just standing from the word go there's nothing they can do.Quote:

what tickets should i be getting to get in on the action?
i went to see hertha berlin playing and seeing as we're in the lower davin i presume it will be like the olympicstadion.
seriously we should do the bouncey thing and the slow clapping leading to a rapid clapping of the hands and then IRELAND
Replied to you there mate, cheers.Quote:

I'd say it would be easy enough to organise groups within the singing section, to gather ideas and how to put those into practice, a la The Bounce, or the Slow - Medium -Crescendo of clapping.
We actually have a real opportunity on our hands here. Whether its down to the FAI YBIG or both, we should appreciate the opportunity.
Well done to all involved -YouBoysInGreen, FAI and even Trap has got in on the act.Quote:

Excellent initiative
What section and row are the tickets for the singing section. My tickets are in section 319 and row VV in the Lower Davin stand. Will I be near the singing section?
yes directly at the back of it in the Eircom league sectionQuote:

Hopefully the whole lower Davin will become the main singing section, and it will easily spread to the corners of the hogan and the cusak!
One thing for sure it will stop that nasty Mexican wave getting past us lot as we will be standing anyway .
Totally agree.....those things really annoy me:mad:......nothing to do with football and started by people who shouldn't be anywhere near a football stadium!Quote:

There was always a few around Upper Davin/Hogan hopefully they havent all relocated. I am re remaining 723 so I will be directly above you all.Quote:

Is there any plan to "Christen" the singing section. I'm not suggesting Ultra's or anything, but bar the Germans/Austrians (sorry bad stereotype) I can't see too many other supporters being delighted by the Irish SS! :D
i'm 728 and i thought the atmosphere up there wasn't great....Quote:

728 is Upper Hogan, 723 is Upper Davin, Hogan always seemed particuliy quite. I believe the singing section will catch on big timeQuote:
