Leinster Rugby Singing Section

[LeinsterSinging]

Hello everyone,

Myself and a group of fellow fans are launching The Leinster Singing Section this weekend at the Edinburgh game. This is an initiative from Leinster fans who want to group together and support the team enthusiastically at games. It is being started in conjunction with Leinster Rugby and the OLSC.

The first outing is an impromptu start and will be in the North Stand for Leinster vs Edinburgh, Sat 10th May 6:30. Seating is unreserved so people are meeting in the ground from 5:30pm. The aim of the first outing is to put the idea on the map, and then later we aim to take the opportunities to develop it further.

If this sounds like the sort of thing you or your friends would be interested in, then get a ticket, bring flags, colour and your enthusiasm for the boys in blue!

Cheers,
Brian

that will only work if you have a ticket for the north stand

I'm in terrace but will join in with anything that is brewing! Best of luck with it, hope it's a massive success. Anybody bringing a few trumpets?

Fair play for giving it a go - its worked well for the Ireland soccer team! Best of luck with it!

Where in the North Stand?

I would suggest sitting behind the minis as it is close to one of the terraces and the kids generally get involved too. Would make a corner of noise radiating out on to the pitch and to other parts of the ground.

The fact I sit there has nothing to do with my recommendation.


I hope you are putting the word out elsewhere. I see no mention of it on twitter or Facebook and I dont think this is the best place to try and get something like this organised. Most posters here have season tickets and so are stuck where they are.

Was about to comment on that as I read it, flag always noticeable!

I agree that on the terrace side of the north stand (henceforth known as the IanD Flag side) is the better option as it will spread people out more. There will be people who want to be behind the posts and people who want to be in the singing section.


the closer to the terrace, the more likely to get synergy

Best of luck with this. A good initiative. I hope it continues into next season.

We had a band at one of the games in Donnybrook that Mauler brought in back in the day, the drummers at London Irish are excellent too and we've seen various French clubs literally drumming up support too. It'd be great to generate a noise concentration in one part of the ground!

I'm not even dyslexic, I just read what I want to read.

All for this initiative but I hope starting it so late in the season doesn't mean it fizzles out.

Good Luck. I have my season ticket in the Anglesea bought already but will be enthusiastically singing along if/when this gets going around the ground. Generally very disappointed with the level of singing around where I sit.

HAHAHA! Brilliant (Leinster Rugby Signing Sexton)

Regarding the signing section, I think it's a great idea. As the man says "the aim of the first outing is to put the idea on the map, and then later we aim to take the opportunities to develop it further". Give it a lash and see where you end up after day 1. Great idea.

Well done people: that was probably the toughest crowd you will face (aghast as it was at the poverty of attacking play from Leinster at home against one of the weaker sides in the Pro12) and you kept it going all match.

Congratulations and I hope you slake your thirst tonight after that hard work.

[LeinsterLeader]

T'was brilliant! Great Craic for all. Hope this keeps going. A round of applause for all concerned

[[Jackass]]

From the terrace the singing section sounded great, seemed to be having banter with the subs behind the post and definitely added to the atmosphere, hope this continues. I may be in the North stand for the play-offs so will look to join in if I am.

[olaf the fat]

Well done to all involved. Sounded great

It'll make the north stand the place to be!

[vienne86]

Well done guys - ye sounded great, and it really livened up the North stand. And cheered us all up during a cr@p performance on the pitch.

[IanD]

I was in the North Stand and heard nothing. Where in the North Stand were you based?

It was a northerly wind so it may have carried the sound away from you? We were in the grandstand (Block L)and could hear it, though not too clearly.

Could here it perfectly in the South Terrace all game. Great effort lads.
