I never had a problem with a southern reg car there.
A fair bit of parking in the area, not really a problem for 'Stute tbh.
Whatever you do don't park on the main road. Police very fond of handing out tickets.
What's their attendances like? Would Glentoran bring many?Quote:

One of my buddies may get a game after scoring two against Crusaders, keep an eye out for him. Paul Lowry - he's the tiny, but ridiculously fast striker/winger.Quote:

'Stute would normally get in the region of 350/400 at home but there was nearly double that at their home game against Coleraine a few weeks ago, possible the Glens match will attract a few also. .Quote:

You going to watch Finn Harps reserves in action? Cullen, Holmes, Scoltock, Friars, Friel, Parky, Divin, Bonner and Ramsey. :D
.
Holmes, Parkhouse and Paul Brown...all ex-Rovers legends:pQuote:

Decent game, great travelling support from Glens 7 coach loads plus a few mini buses too.
Gavin Cullen was superb in nets for 'Stute.
Did Stute do well despite being beaten 3-0? How did Lowry do when he came on?
:eek:, was a shocking game. Livened up in the 2nd half but very poor standard overall. Cullen was very good alright, made some crucial saves.Quote:

Haha I actually heard recently that he was looking into signing Ogilby or Scoltock.Quote:

I really hope Kenny signs Scoltock and plays him every week, he's exactly what we would love to see Derry signing :cool:
Scolty's back pass to let Waterworth in is typical of the kind of errors he was prone to at Harps.
Lowry came on as a sub for Parky and worked a decent opening but that little "gem" Austy Friel got in his way and missed a decent chance as a result. I actually remember playing against Paul when he was at Letterkenny Rovers, he's a lively player and gives a completely different dimension up front than Ramsey and Parky will give.
The two starting up front for Institute(Parkhouse and ?) have to be the slowest strikeforce I've ever seen.

I hear Institute had a travelling support of 6 (six) for the game against Cliftonville last Saturday.
Yep and a big 0 for the game last night.Quote:
