Waterford FC Thread

Got away with it in a way with Galway also losing. We really need to win now on Friday.

Our performances over the last few weeks have been poor despite winning and a loss was coming.

We really need to shape up on defending crosses and set pieces. Nearly all the goals we concede are identical.

We also need a bit of a dog in defence or midfield with some experience. We lack that grit. Someone in the Alan Reynolds/Paul Keegan mould (dreaming!). Obviously hard to find mid season. Baptiste provided it last year, need someone similar. We are too soft.

Beat Galway Friday night and we have them pegged back to 4pts.. Long season left yet.. Roll on Friday nite.. Big Away support expected to travel on Friday

I would have said Block E h as been pretty poor all season tbh, sure we can all sign when 5 up but beyond that it isn't great - is it possible the section has been diluted somewhat with the introduction of picking your own seat?

Oh I 100% agree that they're badly needed. With the ground the way it is with the running track the atmosphere can be sh!te and they sound much better away from home in tighter grounds.

The RSC badly needs an atmosphere and when they're quiet like they were against Wexford the whole ground is dead. It's pure frustration when you're sitting there, my singing days are well gone btw 😁 , gone are the days when I'd sneak in a few cans and give it a lash.

What are you on about boy.. Start making some noise yourself so.. Not just up to Block E to be making noise, and any atmosphere that is down in the RSC is coming from their section, so my point stands.. Can't blame Block E for atmosphere down there.. It's up to everyone

Well it is really up to them as they're the self appointed singing section. If there's going to be any kind of atmosphere it has to come from them.

Our problem at the moment is we think we should be winning every home game bar Galway and when it's not going to plan it's creates a dull ground. Also have the issue with first division clubs not bringing a big away section to rival in the ground.

Christ I miss the Premier division.

Or just ditch UCD 😬😁

Hopefully that will follow now that they have a proper shop being serviced full time. It was very mickey mouse the way it was.

I know it was written about I think by the Examiner a few months back but heard again recently that the owner is strongly considering trying to move away from the RSC. Not happy with the restrictions placed on it by the council in terms of match day bar etc. Might be just trying to force the council into a corner

Does he have any viable alternatives to the RSC? Sounds like a load of hot air.

This is correct

I don't think there's any other examples of stadia being built on greenfield sites outside urban centres in across any of the different sports in Ireland.

Noteworthy also that the likes of Croke Park, Thomond Park, Pairc Ui Chaoimh, Lansdowne Road and even Walsh Park are all being redeveloped in existing urban sites.

So unless they hope to redevelop Ozier Park or Kilcohan the options are very limited.

It won't be a fleeting visit either, he could be looking at 10 years going by the UK sentencing laws for this type of offence.

Regardless of the statements issued that it's business as usual, it's going to have collateral damage, especially with sponsorship etc, will the management team want to be associated, who will want to be associated with the club with him as owner?

Also, might explain Walters going out the gap two weeks ago

I see what you did there; very punny.
