Thanks for all the comments guys, all this helps with what were trying to do, Santry you seem to know a bit about stwarting theres a job there if your interested let me know and i will make contact with you, the more we can get the better, as there were 8 guys never showed up for us on Sunday we were left very short. from here on we will have more hired stwarts and we will be conducting searches at the gates, there was 5 Garda inside on sunday and 3 fai observers and all were happy enough except for a few slight worries we can work on.
i was not hopeing for less supports but we all know when a fee is charged you wont get as many.for now all home fans will be in the far seated stand.

Oh I agree 100%.

There are literally dozens of things you could insult Eric about without resorting to his skin colour.

Not wishing to gloss over Racism. I will do my part to shut these muppets up. The more ppl in Ireland get to say "I'm norra racist but...(insert whatever you like here including racism)" the more that schooligans will feel free to take opportunities like this...

Attached are a few photos from the game taken by my mate the seventythreeman.

Did you take them through the eye of a needle?

**Santry_Goonshow** · 21/03/2008, 9:33 PM

No through the hole in a proton

I forget the exact figure already but the attendence for the game tonight was around 600. I'm open to correction though. it did seem like there was less.

Only a couple of minor incidences with two arrests from what i saw.

I heard they were done for bringing booze into the ground - could be wrong. Stadium tannoy man said there was 478 in attendance, probably 50 of them were L37.

There were far fewer children and families than Sunday.

To clear this up to lads were not nicked they were brought out of the ground by car for comments they made about the Sargents weight.

the other was some Scotts in the Away stand who were well on and shouting abuse, the Limrick event controler ask for them to be removed as they had nothing to do with them or the club. they were asked to leave at half time.
may i just add that all Garda and Stwarts had nothing but good to say about the Limerick Supports Well done Guys. Sorry about the cold.

But that is what you generally get from the vast majority of EL supporters. It's just that you only hear about the bad stuff, which only happens sometimes at certain games.

That's the Scottish branch of our supporters club!!

Gas men.

Although I grant you there's only so many times you can call a player "a f***in filthy Nazi b***ard" before it wears a bit thin
