It kills me to suggest this, but in order to boost the support at home games we should consider ushering as many people into the stand as possible. Section O should lead from the front and agree to locate on a trial basis for a period of 5 home games and see if 120% vocal support will transend into a better return from our home games.
I don't know if ye noticed a flaw in the way your club operates its passes for the stand....?
Noticed this the last time down as bought stand ticket but never used.
- Buy stand ticket for match A.
- Enter ground but take up non-stand seat.
- Leave match with unused stand pass.
- Use stand pass to enter match B, C, D etc...
i.e. unless ye make new colour laminated passes each game?
Has that not been resolved... I thought it had been
And there was me thinking got free pass to Flancare for life :)Quote:

It doesn't work at away games (niether group joins in with the other), so why should it work at home games?
This is not meant to be the start of another saga of the stand v section O debate, however, if this was attempted I have no doubt it would soon turn into such.
just one question, if three sides of the ground are closed , where else do you go....?? can you stand beside the chip van or along there ????
Problem is that the atmosphere is brutal at home. Full stop.
You know I like being in Section O but it's an attempt to get people into the one area and to gee up some atmosphere because our numbers are hardly in the ascendancy. You could see how it works for the 5 games and then decide. I'd even suggest the upper right hand corner so as to keep the distance... I really don't see a problem with nips as long as some hoods don't get plastered and fall down that very steep stand.
I'll go with majority, but personally I am opposed to it.
lads with the quick nips, as xlex says, once the younger lads aren't falling all over the place you'll be ok...if they get locked and mess where the crowd can see you'll get the blame, wouldn't like that.
personally speaking ,I would think of the big picture and relocate to the stand only on a temporary basis. As xlex said ,the top right corner will do us. goin with max powers point, the lads that take the quick nips are the older lads, any of the cheeky young feckers only get a gulp and no more!
And there is a guarantee that the Section O hardcore wont be fallin around the place as we are well practiced in it! :D
by the way, longfordian ,is section o closed for the shels match and what is the latest developments on the ground closure for the uefa cup match?
Not sure about the Shels game to be honest..As for the UEFA Cup, unless we get an announcement of money this week then I would think it'll be played in Tolka or Dalymount, which both Bohs and Shels have offered us the use of for nothing.Quote:

Well that's my other concern - I don't think most of us would take the negativity towards the team/management that seems (from what I've been told and read) from some stand dwellers to well. Only going to lead to conflict. Sure we'll know when Section O is closed (although when Section O has a roof the stand singers could always move over too).Quote:

in my limited experience the boys from "section o" have the upperhand in the
bad grammar dept :rolleyes: :D

In London jobhunting so wont be at the game! but best of luck with the game, and im hoping the stand and Section O will unite in joyous singing, chanting and holy matrimony... (i might be wrong...)
OK now Pauro. Dont get one (that's DO NOT) get one that you might have to quit in the next couple of weeks.
Ya got that? :D
I doubt I'll make it. But just to clarify, is it the stand tonight.
I vote NO!Quote:

It was the loudest the stand had been all night - there's sod all effort to try and get the team playing (not that we played that bad in the first fúckin place).Quote:

I was not dissapointed with the overall performance but was dissapointed that we did not get anything out of the game,after a decent 2nd half.Even a 1-0 defeat would not have been too bad a result but the fact that after outplaying shels for most of the 2nd half they still got a second goal at the end(similar to the bohs game at the start of the season)
