I know must people will probably think i am trying to wind people up with this but i think if there were segregation it would greatly help the atmosphere at matches. You could have an section for both sets of fans and then if you did not want to sit or stand at either end you could move into the middle section where there was no segregation. You would have 2 groups singing songs helping to boost the atmosphere at games. BTW i suggest this as i think there is a huge problem with the atmosphere at most championship games it does not exist.

Views?

I've never read such garbage in all my life.

Better games + full houses = cracking atmosphere (singing not even necessary)

So perhaps:

less fussy refereeing + cheaper tickets = a better day out = GAA on to a winner

What "songs" you sugest we 'sing' when Longford face Tyrone on Sat.

Worst post ever.

"Lovely Leitrim". Would that work?

I know the first one - but not the second.

The first would hardly stir the blood.

Take me back to the good old days
The days that I went to school
Something something something something
On the road to Abbeyshrule

Christ - we'd be asleep at the end of it.

By jove, you've got it. What a sad person you are AZ

But that aside, I wouldn't be caught dead 'singing' at a Longford match. A chant of "Longford...clap clap clap....Longford" is all I'll consider (handy having a two syllable name) ("Larries would work too). I enjoy being beside/behind/in front of an opposing fan to share thoughts and views at half time or during the match. A bit of banter is also welcome and is always good fun and never goes beyond that.

Segregation me arse.

The last thing that any sport needs is sanctioned division; as if there weren't enough reasons already to divide.

Bring back the airhorns and everything will be alright. They made the game what it is.

Fog horn for a fiver...ah those were the days alright.

What happened to the air horns anyway? I didn't notice they were gone until you mentioned it.
