Let's Take Over Ballybofey

For the travelling fans on Sunday it'd be great if we could bring a bit of noise and atmosphere to Ballybofey to inspire the team in what is a daunting task. Meath fans over the past decade in my opinion have been poor at this, we tend to refrain from chants, bringing flags, banners and the lot. Let's try and replicate the hurling fans you'd see down in Munster. If we could agree to pick a terrace behind one of the goals to group together it'd be great and would add to the spectacle.

We are not a soccer team. Gaa supporters are always mixed. No need for this. Jackpot (Meath) - Posts: 199 - 11/07/2019 09:40:48 2209356 Link

Replying To Jackpot: "We are not a soccer team. Gaa supporters are always mixed. No need for this." The Dublin fans on the hill certainly aren't mixed and you can't help but admire the noise and atmosphere they bring to matchdays, they'd probably admit it's gone a bit stale in the last few years because of their domination. There's no doubt that this noise helps the team on the field and makes Croker an intimidating place for the opposition. No reason why every county can't establish a group of die-hard fans that create atmosphere both in at home and on the road. It will add to the spectacle. Everyone should start off simple on Sunday by bringing a Flag with them. Up the Royals RealTalk101 (Meath) - Posts: 21 - 11/07/2019 17:31:17 2209608 Link
Yours will be grouped together leaving the ground around the 45 minute mark. TheRock2121 (Donegal) - Posts: 561 - 11/07/2019 19:48:39 2209652 Link
Replying To TheRock2121: "Yours will be grouped together leaving the ground around the 45 minute mark." Never leave before final whistle, and anyway why would we leave and not watch Meath win? Strange comment :) royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 17035 - 11/07/2019 20:03:02 2209660 Link
Replying To TheRock2121: "Yours will be grouped together leaving the ground around the 45 minute mark." Its a long drive home and Meath will have Donegal well bate by then. So it makes sense. bobkarlgees (Meath) - Posts: 1192 - 11/07/2019 21:08:09 2209694 Link

Alot of dub lads on the hill wouldn't have clue. Although some of the comments on this from the likes of Royaldunce would worry you. Jackpot (Meath) - Posts: 199 - 11/07/2019 21:28:19 2209702 Link

Thought you would be all for this, aren't you championing going after dubs with Meath grandparents, you know their cast offs. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 17035 - 11/07/2019 22:11:43 2209724 Link

Very poor meath crowd in Ballybofey today. For those who made the journey, fair play. We may have been low in number but the supporters really got behind the team the whole way. men_of_49 (Meath) - Posts: 1962 - 14/07/2019 20:38:12 2210968 Link

Yeah for all the people posting comments on here and on Facebook when we are playing poorly you think there would be a great Meath following but it was poor. I know its a long drive but this team is improving, giving it they're all and playing fairly good football. Barney123 (Meath) - Posts: 676 - 14/07/2019 20:57:20 2210993 Link

Understandable why the bandwagon isn't here as they don't believe we'll get out of the group or beat Dublin. The next day out is Mayo in Croker. If that doesn't get the fans out then nothing will.

Too many keyboard warriors on this forum claiming to attend games but when push comes to shove will sit at home and watch on television. Very poor Meath crowd but our voices were heard Royalio11 (Meath) - Posts: 750 - 14/07/2019 21:03:33 2210997 Link
