Fair enough,as I said the stand behind the goal is grand,it's just the rest of the ground is a bit run down

Harps travelled last term for a cup game and were told to stop singing and beating the drum - for God's sake, get a grip!

Also, that wasn't the first such occurence at Buckley Park...

Thats funny because when we went there the only noise from them was a few kids and a drum,it became a pain in the head after ten minutes!

As of now, we don't just have the best record in our league, we also have the best record in the country, leading Drogheda on GD.

What are you on about -"get a grip" - I think the fact that ye were asked to be quiet is tottaly embarrassing and had nothing to do with me or the other fans

Nshoop said we should get a new stand to improve atmosphere, I responded by pointing out the obvious - to make atmosphere you need fans - we dont have that many!

**nshoop** · 21/07/2006, 12:16 AM

Fair point

So what? When Dub City or CHF or whatever ye want to call them were in the el they were better than your team, if they werent why are ye so bothered by them? If you look through the Dub City posts they are full of Rovers fans comments - other teams fans dont seem as bothered by Dub City as ye. Funny that

**nshoop** · 21/07/2006, 12:22 AM

They wanted to see us go bust and instead it has happened to them!

is this post polite and sensible enough for the moderators?

**Dodge** · 21/07/2006, 12:28 AM

Yeah but if I had my way there'd be a law against stating the bleeding obvious too

Even so, ye still cant take the fact that Dublin City were a better football team than Shamrock Rovers hence all the posts - ye felt bitter because they relegated ye. If it was simply becasue they wanted ye to go bust how come all the posts ye make towards Dublin City are not all about that issue?

See below:

Shamrock Rovers 30-15 Home Farm

Who was better? Who folded? The answers are obvious.

All my posts about home farm were the same-i have no sympathy for them because of the sudden hatred they found for us and because they wanted us out of existence,i think thats fair.

**joema** · 21/07/2006, 12:40 AM

Im not talking about your posts in particular but Rovers fans in general - I think you will agree that not all of the posts directed towards Dub City were about them slagging ye while ye were in examinership!

Dub City relegated Rovers - imo they were better

Who inflicted the blemish of relegation on your once clean record?

So if Buckley Park isn't the best ground in the first division, what is? Terryland? Shamrock Rovers home ground I suppose........oh wait, ye don't have a ground. Glass houses and all that.....

Cobh is better-stand behind goal,seating/terracing on one side,a good sized terrace on the other,dundalk is as good if not better,terryland is as good

To bring this back on topic (Christ another way to tell the schools have broken up - traffic on the roads gets better, traffic on tinternet get's sh�te)...

I think it's inevitable that other clubs will get into difficulties as the revenue audits work their way round and calculate the tax on all the "expense" payments.
