Then UEFA should give us a visit, cos there more sticks, inside the ground in the form of rubbish and debris that would make a bonfire which would put the Shankhill Road 12th of July bonefire to shame.

Evreyone knows that when it comes to enforcing rules UEFA are a joke, all bark and no bite.

we need a Delia lads... god be with the days of Nancy Callaghan... anyone remember her?

**gustavo** · 19/05/2005, 6:00 PM

what about mary mcleyden ?

**garykelly** · 20/05/2005, 10:42 AM

So what's the consensus out there ? are all the supporters who want to create an atmosphere joining together at the Dublin City match ?

Behind the goals on the Shed end ???? I think the stand isnt ideal for anything like signing/shouting/etc. Least supporters can be heard out on the terrace.

**Redzer** · 20/05/2005, 11:18 AM

I cannot see much of a crowd gathering behind the goals end, especially if its raining. Its difficult to create an atmosphere in an open section of ground.
Maybe, if you had a drum to make a bit of noise it might work, but otherwise I cant see it happening.

I'll be there anyway by the shed end.
Anyone else?
I hear there is a number of Dublin City fans coming down. We don't want them creating the atmosphere for us.

Someone mentioned a drum.Its only a suggestion but wouldn't we be better off buying a drum rather than the flags?.A drum would create a great atmosphere and plenty of noise as can be seen by the impact the drum makes at finn haprs matchs.

Well it wont happen if people dont try. Athlone is an open ground. noise was made there. finn harps too behind the goals. great atmosphere. galway a bit of atmosphere. dublin city game had atmosphere.

Notice these were all away games !!! look if people dont want to stand up and try to make our home ground noisy then that's fine. but on the same token the same people shouldnt be complaining about a lack of atmosphere. nobody is going to do it for us. Fair enough if it rains cos nobody wants to get wet.

Re: Drum

We can do this no problem. Is there someone out there willing to play it ? It would need to be played in the shed. people in the west stand would compliain of the noise

If anybody is willing to donate to a fund to buy a drum. The list price on tifo.it is 59 euro. So if we raised say 200 - 250 euro we could get the drum, flags and a few whistles and plastic clubs to hand out to kids. what do ye think ? If anyone knows if this can be done cheaper somewhere else, then let us know.

cheers

I agree with ya there Gary that whatever the case we should all gather in one place, where ever it may be. The problem is that since the shed was closed everyone was scattered around the ground and so there has been little atmosphere. So if its not raining we should all gather behind the goals and where would we gather if there was rain. But we should stick together in one area.

Right, bring in a collection jar to the game. I will start off with 20 yo-yo donation.

Hard to beat a drum if the stewarts take the sticks off you

**Rory H** · 20/05/2005, 2:57 PM

they wont take it...they dont have the bottle...

just get badhran[the thing that christy moore plays]...that'll do

once the shed gets opened we'll be sound....

but if we all gather tomorrow behind the goal at the railway end[we usually attack there in the 1st half] id happily go......we arent embarassed to be loud....and i for one find a rain shower quite sexy.....if you know what i mean....

**The Stars** · 20/05/2005, 2:59 PM

The sticks are a musical accesorie and there is nothing in the rules about that...........

My opinion on this Gary is that for away games us supporters are more likely to have a few gargles before the game hence the mood to sing etc. What the club needs is a good clubhouse where supporters can meet prior to the game, lubricate the vocal cords and get in the mood for the game. If this were the case then the roof on the new stand wouldn't be strong enough to withstand the noise levels

So instead of collecting for a drum let's collect for a clubhouse

Well Mooneys is just across the road and O�Neill�s isn't far away either plenty of places for Rovers supporters to lubricate their vocal cords and get in the mood for the game

I remember a few years ago when Rovers beat Harps 3-0 in Finn Park their was about 10-15 of us behind the goals in the rain singing our hearts out

Will you be on the terrace Petmuller?
