'In My Book, You Should Be Ahead'. Documentary about Shelbourne from 1975, on the RTE player. Fascinating stuff. Everybody worried about falling attendances in 1975 too. Also, a trip to Cork Celtic's absolute tip of a ground. (Presumably Turners' Cross before it was revamped). Plus, heavy drinking (and resultant drunken behaviour) amongst supporters and officials, and a visit to Shelbourne's derelict former stadium in Ringsend. This was particularly interesting - I knew nothing about this old ground. Looked quite big.
