Section o will not be in the stand end of! Also a lot of us ain't spring chickens anymore! Tbh I don't get to many games these days due to work and other commitments. Find it hard to get the vocals going when sober and sat in a car in two hours. The youth are the future!!
Section O in the stand was tried before, and no one joined in! I don't think it's that uncommon to have several groups of fans to be honest, that come together for away games.
Naturally it's harder to be vocal without a few on, and with us older heads it's hard enough sometimes to get to the match let only get out for a night on the beer! I'm not sure what the solution is really - part of me would suggest that there should be younger heads stepping up to the mark, even if that is blatant buck passing.
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
Well the good thing is that the fans in both the stand and section O have realised there is a solution needed to get the flansiro roar back and people are making suggestions and efforts to improve the atmosphere. From talking to most of the other 'young lads' (your all young haha) most seem to be set on trying section O next week and if yesterday is anything to go by I can't see why it won't be a success, we had two drums yesterday and some good loud voices and we sang almost the whole way through until we were hit with that killer 2nd. Talking to the lads they agree that a bit of colour is needed and it looks like some home made banners will be out in force next Saturday and I think that's exactely what we need so if you have any old banners or you can make one go ahead till we shine the place up a bit, drums, scrafs, flags bring the lot till we show these Limerick boys what there up against!

No solution other than getting fu*kfaced!

This is their words to the song by the way.
I am an FC fan,
I am mancunian,
I know what I want,
And I know how to get it,
I wanna destroy Glazer and Sky,

If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.
Can also be changed to "We all hate Athlone...we al hate Atlooone...Athlone's a ****hole..we all hate athlone" for home games
