Away to Rovers

**shedite** · 22/03/2004, 6:57 PM

By the way, if anyone going to the game from Dublin would be able to give me a lift into Dublin or to UCD ideally. Don't fancy trying to get out of there in a taxi by myself really. PM me if ya can help.

AFAIK, there is definitly a bus being put on for the longford game, that is if there is enough interest

Only really at Richmond, when Rovers play there.
There's a certain element who turn up purely for trouble.
It's not even clear if they are in fact Rovers fans.
It's not unusual for the bus to be stoned and for away supporters to be intimidated or pelted with missiles.
The Garda� do they're best but you know yourself that it's difficult to police situations like this so away fans must be well wide in Inchicore.

To be fair there are local junkies around there that throw stuff at buses and anyone who passes by regardless of whos playing. Happened at City-Pats matches last year a few times, even the U-21 final!

But the last City/Rovers game left a bad taste in peoples' mouths, having to be escorted by the Garda� until they were far enough away from the stadium etc.

Not to belittle peoples stories of stone throwing in recent years but i've never had any trouble leaving Richmond after a match.

While Rovers no saints seems trouble caused by the locals more than "home" fans but for reason less likely when Pats are the home team.

So now that there's no bus running is there gonna be many City fans there at all??

there'll still be a handy enough crowd I'd say...I'm still heading up...train is always handy....they'll be the usual crowd driving.....

oh ya the rovers fans are having a good old laugh at us on the ultras board....short memories or are they the 30 who travelled to cork last year.

**ian** · 24/03/2004, 2:55 PM

Lads have a good one and enjoy the game. Only back from a short holday so I will be stuck in work for the day so enjoy.

b_mcsweeney · 24/03/2004, 3:09 PM

i'll be there, will see if i can conjure up any fair weather-ers too. looking forward already. just to add my two cents to some of the earlier posts, i agree the only hassle i've had at any away games in dublin was at richmond but it was just some local junkies at the bus stop, nothing to do with the game, and it was just some verbals. at the end of the day, richmonds not exactly in the nicest part of the city.

**Ozymandias** · 24/03/2004, 3:56 PM

so the F**K what if there isn't a bus goin..we will still have a couple of hundred fans at the game Guaranteed......Rovers are right our away support willnever match theirs.....ours will never be that low.........

C'mon the rebels...Fcuk the Dubs

Ok Ozymandias tell you what, count the amount of City fans at the match.

Wont take you very long because without a bus we wont have 50 there. Where are these 100's of fans going to come from? About 20 living in Dublin another 4/5 car loads heading to it. Be realistic will ya.

**one_bounce** · 24/03/2004, 7:24 PM

myself and rebelnorrie will be there... cant wait
real pity theres not enough interest for a bus being a friday an all.... we only needed 1 out of every 200 at the cross last week to fill a bus..
hopefully this isnt a sign of things to come cos all of the irish matches are on weekdays so there wont be any double weekends in the pale...
longford trip looks more popular though!!
cmon cittttttttttyyyyyyyyyyyy
