Athlone V United

[GUISAUltra]

there was 2 stands in athlone so segregation should have been fairly simple, but us in one stand and them in the other. it would have solved an awful lot of problems but then again that would have made sense so thats no good for athlone

[corbyeire]

the problem was athlone/buccaneers wanted to charge €15 for the main seated stand and have the terraces at €10 - if they segregated GUFC fans may not have paid for seats

[corbyeire]

Is this sort of thing common at grounds you go to?

not at all - first bit of agro all season was athlone and it seemed to carry on till the last night - not in evidence anywhere else this season

[GUISAUltra]

its weird because this is the first season where there has been real agro between both sets of supporters. there seems to be a crowd of youths in athlone intent on this becoming a bit of a violent derby and i dont know why. the first time in athlone one of our fans was hit in the face by a stone and then they vandalise galway united property in terryland and now this the last night.
i feel really sorry for the genuine athlone fans, "The Mad As Cootes" as they are genuine football fans and very sound lads but the other yobs that come to the games give them a bad name and i know from speaking to them the last night that they are really trying to weed those kids out and get them banned

Without wanting to promote violence.. should you not all get together for the next visit and teach these boys a lesson??

There wont be a next visit, we'll never b playin them again

i was over in the stand at the far end during yer game. I couldnt believe my eyes with the lack of segregation -very similar to the trouble at the shels drogs game last night! i was wonderin why the athlone fans alll deserted at the end now i see why.

these troublemakers should be thrown out of the league.
