Arrangements for Landsdowne Road

**Xlex** · 06/10/2004, 8:39 AM

As per last years successfull allocation I'm asking the club to make a section of the designated stand reserved for the vocal section of Lansdowne Road.

Any other suggestions?

No, that is basically all we can ask them to do. Section O in Lansdowne!

A Special open top bus for Section O.......

Last year there was an allocation of about 100 tickets for the singing section.Which was great but did not look overly impressive.This year would we be able to take over a whole section,like shels in the depor game.How much does each section hold,I dont think there would be any problem filling it

great noise made on tuesday evening but more than that would be needed to make the chants heard in the stadium the size of landsdown.

i think at least 100 would be needed or more

Id say sheets with songwords on it(sounds a bit cheesy,I know) but obviously this would cost money but anything to stop it from being 90mins of THE LONGFORD whum pum pum

**Finny** · 08/10/2004, 9:37 PM

oh jesus yeah anything to stop that we should definitly do that

**Longfordian** · 08/10/2004, 11:27 PM

I agree 100% but given the amount of people that never go that will be there, and to be fair are needed, will printed lyrics do any good, there'll be 100 or so will get in the spirit but after that I don't know..worth a try at least I suppose..You never know unless you try.

**Bosco** · 09/10/2004, 3:59 PM

How many tickets will we be able to get for the singing section.I've talked to alot of people who arent the most hardcore of town fans but said that they'd be interested.I think we should go all out and get a whole section.There has to be 300 or so people who would rather stand and sing for the 90 mins then sit in silence with all the bandwagon supporters

Bandwagon supporters?? At longford how could you say such a thing and where DID you get that mad idea from??

**Xlex** · 10/10/2004, 10:50 AM

we should get song lyrics printed on alternative Red and Black card and fill our section with them. Sponsers could be included to defray costs, eg. the 51 and perhaps PV's the two pubs which will be frequented on the day and night?

**Maz** · 10/10/2004, 3:23 PM

I think thats a good idea, I'd help out with distribution or in whatever way i can! Last year in Lansdowne it was a great atmosphere where we were all situated up da back and had a perfect view also

if i'm given the cards i can print them in work for free, i think red A4 paper would do the trick. i can contact the fai to see will be we allowed in to put the sheets on the seats, i'm in dublin that morning so i can do it then.

**Xlex** · 11/10/2004, 9:41 AM

Right, get on to the FAI and see if we can do that. If there's no big outlay we'll try convince the supporters club to sponcer it. A sea of red and black.

We will be chatting about it tonight after the game. I'll speak to the club tonight regarding the ticket allocation.

**max power** · 11/10/2004, 10:01 AM

i'll see what the fai have to say. are we going for red card with writing and black cards with writing.......or just red cards with writing.

if we can organise it in time we can announce it at the game next monday/tuesday and get shannonside onto the case as well.

**Maz** · 11/10/2004, 10:06 AM

what about giving them with tickets bought? when people go to get their tickets they could get a song sheet or something along that line! even a small charge to bring in funds etc!

**max power** · 11/10/2004, 10:19 AM

they would bring the ticket and forget the sheet, do big to carry, couldn't be bothered........ya know the excuses. i think our best bet is the day of the final. it will only take an hour or so and if it increases the noise it will be well worth it...

just a point, i think the chants with bad language should be left out as ya know the PC bargade are out there waiting to complain about any little thing
