Re: Season Ticket Renewal
There was definitely plenty of elbow room on the prom but the noise made by the 10,000 souls who made the effort sounded like that of a full house!!
Enjoyed that & slightly hoarse this evening which is always a good sign of a game enjoyed

Good man Ron'n, another fine example of authentic frontier gibberish, Rowry.rumncoke wrote:Baggy
Yes social housing was sold off cheap — which seems a mistake - if you believe the sale was to create a profit — the hope was to create Estates of mixed tenure — and reduce or avoid the costs of maintenance — which are not insubstantial because it is virtually impossible to control and guarantee value for money in the public sector.
The fact is that 99 times out of a 100 times the repair request inadequately describes and /or quantifies the repair necessary and the request can become a blank cheque- that does not mean contractors make a profit because frequently the tender prices fail to take into account the time that can be wasted as a result of that failure .
Social housing is only as good as the tenants some are good but unfortunately too many are not .
Grenfell tower a disaster exposed the problems the local authority had no idea who and how many tenants lived in the tower .

You touch on a string of mismanagement there, from the ludicrous discounts offered to raise a few billion for higher rate tax cuts, to the stupid notion that once the housing stock was sold, the country would no longer have topo foot the bill for repair costs. Seemed sound to you, instead, people who in reality could only afford social housing began to have to look at private renting and the result, Ron'n? Yip, a massive bill for housing benefit as those with a few quid happily signed up to the notion of being slum landlords.
Have you ever seen the housing stock around universities and hear the toe-curling rentals fees such death-traps require of people with no money?
Ron'n, the majority of major European countries have either a substantial social housing stock or have a large proportion of people in private rented accommodation receiving state aid to fund the grasping landlords.
It's a fu'cking scandal Ron'n, rather like the money that gargantuan supermarkets pay their serfs in wages, happily allowing the taxpayer to make up the shortfall.
You get an A* for bullshit Ron'n.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

I arrived 15 minutes after kick-off and as I was walking down to the turnstiles, I couldn't hear a sound. I wondered had Scarlets smashed us so much the crowd had been silenced early. Then i thought I had got the kick-off time wrong .... then the stadium announcer mumbled something which confirmed that something was happening in ravenspan.
Yes,it got noisy at times, and I too came home hoarse (sadly I go hoarse a lot more quickly and easily than I once did due to medication), but at times, I've been in noisier mortuaries.

Can’t agree with those who feel the crowd noise/atmosphere was good.
I found it very flat
