As I said before this idea came about at the Derry games when a few old Shed Heads decided that we needed to do something about atmosphere in the showgrounds, the reasons we chose the Jinks avenue stand was 1. Fcuk all people go there 2. it is enclosed, allowing for a better atmosphere 3. we don’t like the shed anymore (its boring & realistically even the New stand is more fun & more comfortable) 4. If the young vibrant Shed Heads! don’t like Drums then the occupants of the Treacy avenue stand, which are predominantly older, wouldn’t either.
We appealed to everyone to join us some did (Cheers!) & some didn’t (their decision), every one is welcome, members of the clubs, individuals, inbreeds & even Leitrim Folk!!! All supporters of our beloved Bit’O’Red.

A Persons presence dose not mean they condone the actions of everybody there it means we have a common interest in supporting Rovers in the most vocal and what some would say, the best possible way.

Yes thats him , he was brutal and we used to have him nearly everygame , just before he retired he awarded us 2 dubious penalties in a 5 1 win against Galway or some other crap team at the time , a nice gesture but many years to late, its bad when the ref is on first name terms with the players and knows who he is going to book before the game every starts.

Wilford Wallace - nasty slick haircut, pompous attitude, not particularly popular anywhere in the league, but inspired a special loathing among Rovers fans.

thats hims - Wilfrid Wallace what total cooont. Years of pain.

a cooount if eva i heard about 1.

Where have the boys in the Jinks avenue stand gone to? Very quite the last few home games.

The whole ground has been quiet, the shed too:(.

theres only one thing for it...they have to sell alcohol in the blue stand and then the shed and the jinks avenue brigade will unite together!!!:}

Its a pity. I don't think Firday night games will help it either.

Whatever about Friday Nights....Having them on a day that doesn't exist is desprete!

It livened up a bit in the second half Derry supporters never stopped singing through out the match a fair few of them as well for a Monday night.

or "we're small, but we're better than you!" after they had been calling us a small team in the first half!
