That stand should be condemned, asking anyone to pay €20 to risk life and limb there is a joke.

What's wrong with it?

Lack of all services in the stand. It's a smelly fcuking dive of a stand.

So, no bar or toilet = deathtrap?

Is it not a human right to have available access to toilets?

TangyZizzle

Holding on for the duration of a match isnt going to kill you in all fairness.

So why can't other fans be put in it if it's safe...

I dont understand your question, Im asking out of genuine curiousity. I cant see how not having toilets and a bar makes a stand a hazard to your health, short of someone slipping and falling in someones piss.

The Connaught St terrace is deemed structurally unsafe and not to be used, except Rovers..Pats and Shels in recent games have been in the Des Kelly Stand.

If it's not safe for 2 Salthill fans, why is it safe for 500 Rovers fans

TangyZizzle

Oh ok, thanks. Iv just done a little search and found a bohs forum saying that only the scumbag fans are put there, maybe thats the answer youre looking for
Apparently the stand was deemed unsafe and they had an engineer in to do a repot on it. Do you know if thats been made available to read?

Eh..the Connaught stand has access to toilets. The way the Council stadium has access to a few portaloos for the away fans!

The only reason it is allow to be used is due to Garda instruction.;)

Sure if they put yous in the Des Kelly yous would be giving out that there's not enough tickets!

Guards wont let Rovers fans in the shed.

Hopefully the league will be over by the time we go to Dalymount. Then they could just show the game in the Glenmalure Suite, we can all go there, pay a few quid in and deprive Bohs of the needed funds.

So the Gardai must think it's safe - I'd love to see Fitzgibbon St explain that if anything went wrong..

I'd wager that the shed is safer for a crowd - maybe harder to police, but of course nobody doubts the ability of the police force to take on the challenge...

id agree with the hoops on this, fitsgibbon street monkeys gards are a shambles if they done their job right they would put rovers in the shed end where there is access to food and portaloos then bohs could charge them the same price that they charge our own fans in.
sure fitsgibbon street not only are responsible for 80 percent of the trouble with their bully tactics sending rival fans down to doyles corner where they clash head on but they have been known to break supporters arms in the past ie setanta cup final and baton people for been in the way they are a bigger mob of hooligans than both bohs and rovers together.

really does put me off football in this country.

The difference between the policing of games in Tallaght and the Gypo camp is unbelievable. Well organised, level headed and even friendly Gardai in Tallaght compared to think-headed clumpers who are just looking for an excuse to wave their sticks about.

Agreed 100%. The contrast with Tallaght couldnt be greater, the Garda over here are excellent.

100% disagree with that, Setanta Cup final was a complete joke up there.

Between the event controller, stewards and inept gardai i was shocked only Bohs fans were hurt.

They treat us pretty decently in Tallaght, unlike the robocops treat youse and us over in D7.

I can tell you they don't treat us like that.

A fair few times they show (feign) interest in the game even...asking in the line to cross the bypass afterwards about games coming up and the result. They are human with smiles and manners...:eek:

There's no argument, anto

Whos arguing? We are just saying the cops are nice for our games. They are.

Kilmainham gaurds suck balls, treat people like animals and they will bite.

Must be weird for Rovers fans to be treated nice

The topic was policing at our respective grounds and I gave an opinion.

Kilmainham guards are bang on, maybe not to you junkies but they're sound anytime they've been called to my shop.

Our guards are better than your guards. No your's are robots, ours are people!

Right lads its coming time to drop the trousers and lets do this like men.

super_furry

Well can we at least agree that our team is better than yours? :P

Massive win last night, with a great atmosphere. You could feel the goal coming in the second half with the players feeding off the crowd. Sligo might think themselves hard done-by after the shaded the first half, but at least it'll give them another chance to moan about us and MON and at the end of the day, that's what they really want.

stovelid

The way the crowd picked up the atmospjere and the players visibly fed on it was fantastic.

How many tickets per person?

I'm surprised it sold out that quickly..

CiaranC

Looking forward to Inchicore now, hopefully Pats can promote the game and get a good home crowd out

The Volt

Thankfully got my ticket. Best craic ever is with my fellow hoops in the shed end

super_furry

Jesus, never even got a chance to get one. Should be alright for Thursday though.

stovelid

Went done and got one too. Hopefully everybody gets sorted. The ground will be rocking.

If it goes all the way to the wire, I can see ticket pain ahead for Belfield and the Carlisle.

No limit as far as i could see. How are you surprised? Absolutely massive game, can't wait.

If yous had any sense youd plough the money into an advertising blitz or a discount ticket scheme and try to bring out 3000 yourselves. These are the sort of nights that make new LOI fans.

Rovers should register as a charity. Dispensing money to the football clubs of the country. :pac:

Looking forward to it. Hopefully a good home crowd too. The last few games in Richer have been excellent.

dreamers75

We will get our normal rovers crowd of around 2500, the kids that dont get brought (mine) are offset by the retards that show up twice a season.


Cant see us getting anything out of the match, our defending has been shocking since the break. Once we stay in the top 3 im happy.

we all have those. one lad i only ever see at rovers games when we are at home to bohs. An absolute scumbag and usually drunk as a skunk shouting the entire game "we f**kin hate bowez..." muppet.

stovelid

Pats releasing another 200.

super_furry

Yep, just saw that - if they sell, I'd imagine they'll release another 200 on top of that too. Will be up there tomorrow.
