Up in Glenavon last night and 20 minutes before kickoff a lad went tru all the bars (4 of them i heard) and handed out photocopied team sheets.
Bloody brilliant idea shame we couldnt do it down here as our clubs incapable of handing them in on time.

How is that a genius idea?

Honestly didnt think that needed explaining, but there you go some people just dont get the simple things.

Hardly genius though?:confused: Sure what difference does it make getting the team sheet 20mins before the game, go to the game before k/o and you'll hear the team being called out.Quote:

What if no one heard them or was late coming in, how could they know instead of looking at pitch figuring out who is there.
But if they were late, wouldn't they have missed them being handed out too?Quote:

No because they'd be handed out in the pub and the reason they're late is because they were in the pub;)Quote:

So were supposed to print and hand out a few thousand sheets for the few people who are late and can't ask the person next to them or figure it out from looking at the pitch?Quote:

Whats the name of it, i'd like to have a look at it?

Thats actually pretty decent for a IL ground... Do they fill even a quarter of it?Quote:

Also the potential is there. When Portadown & Glenavon were challenging for honours in the mid 90's I attended several 6000+ games at Moanview, and the title decider of '94 had 8000+ there....we drew 2-2 and handed the title to Linfield though :mad:
Brilliant, Turners Cross would be like Irelands own mini Camp Nou :DQuote:

but then what would the fella with the photocopied teamsheets do??? he only goes around 20 mins before kick off......Quote:
