If there was any doubt ....
If there was any doubt before if St Anne's end was good to replace the current shed .... the other night confirmed that it will probably be better .... The good times are only about to start !!!
If any one can see it on video, have a look and see what you what you think !!
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
erm no
It was great that one night granted, can you imagine it being that good, when the likes of longford come down for a league cup replay or something to that effect, will be v hard to get the crowd going, and also the sound just floats away into the night sky
j'accuse!
i went to the match myself and the buzz around the saint anns end was unreal i went home and it look ten times better so i am wondering when the shed gets knocked is that were we will all go
I kinda see your point but what are the Longford games like now ??Originally Posted by ccfcman

I tend to agree with this.
Thursday night was exceptional. Full house and EVERYONE singing masked the fact that a half full St Anne's end would NEVER match The Shed. I think we should cover this end as a matter of priority.
It would be excellent if there was a roof on this end though and would actually generate MORE noise than the Shed does now.

A wet windy night might dampen people's spirits and deter a section of the die-softs, not to mention muffle the voice of the drum. So I agree, a cover for St. Anne's end is a priority.
But . . . every song and drum beat carried over to the shed end of the Donie Forde stand, despite the fact that we were singing our hearts out too. And it looked brilliant. I have not seen the television pictures, but I have heard many people saying that it was really special, expecially the scenes when the arms were aloft clapping in time, waving at the Djurganders fans, and the long chants leading up to the kick outs.

When the roof is on it it wont .... more pluses for St Annes at this stage !!

The big question though is WHEN will the roof be put on the St. Annes end ?
As this is a matter solely for the M.F.A. I wouldn't be holding my breath !!!
good noise thursday but when i left the shed after the shels game my ears were ringing.thats what a roof will add to the st Annes end anyway.
Life isn't all beer and football...some of us haven't touched a football in months
st annes end is a horrible place to watch a football match. For starters, its nowhere near steep enough, so the view isn't half as good as in the Shed. There's no roof, so wait til the rain hits and the crowds run for cover, not to mention the impact on noise levels. The gaps between the rows of seats are too small, I nearly tore the back of my legs apart trying to stay standing up with the drum. NOT A FAN!
