The future of the Singing Section

Regarding flag poles. The idea about leaving the in the stadium earlier in the day is a good idea once they arent taken by the stewards when they begin their shifts.

Either that or would the FAI not just put a rep on the one entrance that we go in and ensure theres no messing from the stewards and guards regarding the issue if they have indeed agreed prior that we are allowed them.

2. The location of the singing section. Needs to be moved in my opinion and some of the other lads opinion. It should be A) Behind the goal in the North stand, B) directly behind the goal in the South stand or C) opposite the halfway line in the east stand. We are not prominent where we are. Half of us are under the balcony and cant be seen. We look like a group of about 150 from other parts of the stadium even though theres up to 600 on big game nights. People dont realise how small the SS looks right now. The whole purpose of the SS is to try to get an atmosphere going to help the team. We want the rest of the stadium to join in chants if possible. This will be hard to do but if we were seen in a more prominent position by the crowds and TV people would take more notice of us.

All good points but i think this one is the most crucial. If we are behind the goal in the south we will be seen as well as heard. The south would be better than the north because there is more chance of people joining in on either side. It seems everyone agrees now that the SS should be behind the goal now. Just a case of getting the approval from JD now - couple of us mentioned it to him last night and he said he'd be in favour of it.
