    From Saturday's Mirror

    In Drogheda, Co.Louth, cars and vans were pelted with bottles by fans who had lined up outside the Sound Shop on the North Quay.

    A mother who waited outside the Sound Shop in Drogheda with her children was horrified by the scenes.

    She said: “They were throwing glasses at cars and lorries going by”

    “There were people selling drugs and hash to kids as young as 13. I had my two children with me. They were actually smoking it near me.”

    The owner of the Drogheda Sound Shop, Tommy Leddy, could not open the front door of his store for fear that some thugs would cause a crush.

    Mr. Leddy said: “It was a bit intimidating. We couldn’t open the doors. I threatened the shop was not going to open at all unless they behaved . We then let them in the doors.”

    “the first 50 were the unruly ones. The guards were down and they quietly kept an eye on what was going on. If we’d let them in the fornt door there could have been a crush.”

    Tut tut!!! Can you believe it???.........Well I sure can.
