been to dublin and monaghan to watch sligo on the road and the vocal support in both matches was brilliant.
Antone at the mons match today will have to agree that the level of support helped the team and lifted spirits,which was intimidating forthe home side.
Why cant the showgrounds be exposed to the same volume of noise.
Also well done to the lads who brought the drum,it added to the atmosphere and got the crowd going.
I'd say around 200 Rovers supporters at the game compared to around 30-40 Monaghan if even that. It was a good atmosphere at the game coming from two different sections. The drum got quite in the second half
The drum only got quite because the signing took over.Great to hear both sections signing together........Quote:

I don't understand why Rovers supporters are so divided when it comes to vocal support. Today we had the 'drum' supporters down one end of the stand and the shedheads down the other. The shedheads sang throughout the game whereas the 'drum' supporters only sang in spits and starts. I thought it funny when the shedheads sang 'you only sing when you're drunk' which I took as a swipe at the 'drum' support. Probably wrong as usual :o
Unbelievable atmosphere! hopefully thers wilbe a bus goin to kilkenny and we can get the same down there. that was brown at the match with his girlfriend. michael toolin seemed to be hosting them. anyone know about Mc T???? :)
you taking the ****?
yup it was him alright. former leicester player. was supposed to go to ballymena but rovers have nipped in. glentoran player for 4 years.Quote:

Also, an open message to the shed heads, why don;t ye lads want anything to do with the people with the drum? Why do ye guys stop when the drum is played?
I am neither a Shed head or a Drum bum, but I thought ye complimented each other yesterday. The atmosphere was fantastic. With the two groups going together or at times alone, the sound was brillient from the stand.
Keep it up lads.
I like the nickname you've given them :DQuote:

in a glentoran forum they seem to regard him as a winger. so that explains that.
AFAIK the club were looking to secure low beyond this season. so i dont think low is going anywhere. great player. best left back in the league. bar none.Quote:

The singing and chanting was fantastic and I know what I'm talking about as one had to be outside of the stand to get the full effect and believe me it was loud ... very loud at times.
Well done lads keep it up.
Bring on de town!
As Petmuller said the shedheads sang throughout the game but I think when the drum started banging it drowned out the singing.Quote:

Also what’s all this us and ye shít we're all on the same side?
Fair play to every one who got behind the team I hope it will continue in the Showgrounds
i was at the game and i sat beside the drummer boys i thought they did a fantastic job not alone did they make noise but they also took on the resposibility of carrying the drum around all day. fair play to you gary and co.also from reading some of the posts on this board you would think that we were in competition with each other. this petty slagging has to stop lets all get togeather we are after all supporting the one team. only for the drummer boys and a few others a lot of the support was drifting down to the railing surrounding the pitch. it was them who coaxed most of the support up into the stand. i appreciate that there was another bunch of supporters on the far side of the stand but as i said it would have being even better if everybody was concentrated in the one area. this is what has to be done at the home matches. i spoke to CARLOS after the game and he said that the noise and the drum beats lifted the team no end. he acting as a spokesman for the rst of the players said please give the same support in the showgrounds. he told me that he is beginning to settle in sligo but found it very difficult for a while. so lads i implore all of yee to get togeather for sat night unfortunately i will miss the game but i am looking forward to two results nr 1 is rovers winning and nr 2 is to hear about the great support and level of noise
:confused:, and in English that means? :DQuote:
