Apropos of nothing at all, a couple of years ago, my mate was in Kilkenny overnight for business. He was at a loose end, and Kilkenny City were playing that evening, so he went along. He sat down in the stand, and there were only a few others there. An old bloke came in and said to my mate, "that's my seat", even though there were hundreds free all around him. My mate got up, and moved a couple of seats along. The old bloke sat there giving my mate the evils for the entirety of the game. He said it was like he was in the Irish version of deliverance.
