    Certainly the best Big Two game to go to, outside a cup final. Massive crowd and great atmosphere. Make sure you go in the home end though. Seriously, if you want a ticket, give me a shout and I will get one for you.

    Cheers, but not soo sure yet. Mentioned it to a couple of Shels on the train to Longford the other day and a few seem interested!

    There's an Armagh City fan attends most of our home games and a few of us try to make a reciprocal trip in the close-season here.

    Have always wanted to take a trip up to a game.

    Will have to go up to Belfast at some stage in the next couple of months so will see if I can fit a game in.

    Never been to a game up North but have to say I would like to some time. Guess if I was going to take a game in the Big two Derby would be the one for me. From what I've seen on tv looks like a cracking atmosphere.

    Been to a few 'Stute matches now and again. Since starting uni in Belfast 2 years ago I've been to a few games. A handful of Linfield-Glentoran games, at both Windsor and the Oval, a few Glens games and one Linfield game, accompanied by a Linfield fan during that reception for Derry fans pre-Setanta (it was the cup match against Dungannon. Was in the Railway stand, trying to hide my delight when Dungannon scored their penalty, giving Linfield an extra game the week before they played us)

    Despite living about 100m from Windsor, I've never gone without a Linfield/Glens fan. I do intend to go to a few more games this season in Windsor, but I will be using the away fans entrance.

    As for Linfield-Glentoran match atmosphere, it's a weird one. There's a real buzz and ye can tell how much it means, but there's a lack of singing compared to most eL games. It's a strange one.

    I go watch Institute if they're playing whenever I'm home, and also been to Limavady once.

    Neither are great advertisements for the IL though - small exposed grounds, tiny attendances, zero atmosphere and generally poor football. If I wasn't a football whorr, I probably wouldn't even drive past the places, let alone go in....
