Do you have any idea what you are talking about??

The bundesliga grounds are the most modern and have the best facilities in europe since the majority had been built are had been upgraded for the world cup. They are the most up to date grounds in europe with the best facilities in europe and yet the have some of the largest terracing in europe. Can you understand this??

Are you sure it's football you are talking about and not a cinema or something? If you want luxury and comfort and TVs in toilets then I don't think football is the right thing for you. I suppose maybe a loud beeping system for when someone breaks the new rules of no cursing that would suit you?

Steve even that capacity will require a significant loan.

AFAIK it will be expandable if required.

No point getting in even more debt to build unused capacity.

Expecting Derry to build a 10,000 capacity stadium is like Liverpool putting 200,000 seats in the new Anfield.

I suppose if I'm honest I don't care about atmosphere. I just want to sit in comfort and chat with my friends about toilets.

I hate people like you

How much is a corporate ticket in Old Trafford and what would it cost me to get a sky sports subscription and put a telly into my toilet?
I think I spot a gap in the market.

Can I ask why you don't **** off home and watch the match from the quiet of your living room?

**pineapple stu** · 31/08/2007, 5:05 PM

Can't have your cake and eat it.

The few times ive been to shels they even have someone with a microphone conducting the crowd in what to sing its embarassing! Fools think they are Inter Milan

So only Inter Milan fans are allowed sing at games is it?

Makes sense alright

A bad example to show younger fans would be causing trouble and fighting. Your posts are idiotic (attacking the posts not the poster

)
You think football fans shouldn't sing? Thats ridiculous. Singing and chanting has been part and parcel of football fandom since the year dot. You'd be better off getting a sky sports subscription and watching games on the television because you will never stop fans singing. Singing, noise and colour generates atmosphere at games. It encourages young fans to go to games and gives them something to get involved in that doesn't involve mullets, sh!t clothes and fighting.
I'd rather attendence continued to be poor than have people like you at games to be honest.
What we have in this league that you don't get in the premiership is atmosphere. That needs to be highlighted and marketed more. Its our trump card.

**Red&White Rover** · 01/09/2007, 10:56 AM

This has to be a WUM...I'm gonna sing extra loud today for Cupcakes and Rocketfingers enjoyment...

But if ye're being serious, ye're completely deluded...

I've been at loads of games in England too and the only one I've been at with a decent atmosphere was the Merseyside derby.

I'd rather stick my genitals in a mincer than go to a corporate section.
Secondly, Shels use a megaphone. I don't think anyone else in the league does. Personally I think the megaphone is fine if you have a large crowd like in Italy but isn't needed here.
On propper fans, a good many of them have been priced out of going to games in England.

Ourselves, Cork and Derry all definetley use them.
I'd have to disagree with you on them, they really get a crowd going

Cupcakes, i wont even comment on your 'decent class of people' line
