As I said the other week, there is a lot you can have a pop at Rovers for but their attendances aren't one of them.
Come on Bohs fans, be more imaginative
Here on a technicality.
Evidence of what everyone saw on TV not enough ? (doctored TV again ?). What evidence have you provided for sham rubbish about Bohs support at SDCC ground declining ? or any of the other rubbish posted about Bohs/Sligo etc etc on here. Answer - none. Does that make you a WUM or are evidencial requirements dependant on who posts ?
Grow up and respond to points raised without hysterical name calling you mistake for an argument. Read the post (or have a grown up read it to you) and I acknowledged shams have biggest gates and QUESTIONED if the novelty was wearing off on the basis of apparently declining crowds (thats what the question mark denotes). If you want to disagree fine but cut out the childish name calling, this is not always-ultra forum.
54,321 sold - wws will never die - ***

I know you probably want to live back in 2009 as the last 2 and a half years have been incredibly painful for you but the last time Tallaght was sold out for a league game was in 2009, you know when we first moved in. There was only one stand for the first 6 months so half the capacity it is now. Almost every game we played before the east stand was built was a sell out and they would be again tomorrow if the east stand was knocked down. Rovers haven't claimed a sell out for a league game since 2009 so give over with your delusions about hearing about sell out crowds - you're either hearing things or your mind is living back in 2009, a lot has changed since then as you know.
Evidence of similar levels of season ticket sales this year compared to last year:
2011 season tickets sold by mid Feb 2011 http://www.shamrockrovers.ie/news/35...no-2011-winner.
2012 season tickets sold by late Feb 2012 http://www.shamrockrovers.ie/news/35...21-2012-winner
Might be a week or two in the difference in reaching the same amount of season tickets sold but shows we are still reaching sales other clubs can only dream of. There was over 5000 at the Shels game, 4800 at the Bohs game and our overall average was slightly up last season compared to 2010.
The recession is no doubt playing a part in crowds accross the league, thankfully we are continuing to escape the worst of it despite how much you would love our crowds to be collapsing marino.
Keep digging, you're just making yourself look even more of an idiot. Almost everything you post is an idiotic, ill-informed, bitter rant about rovers. And then when you get pulled up about it, you never have any evidence to back up your claims, and then throw your toys out of the pram, just like you did when you threw up your louis kilcoyne thread for a reaction. Like i've already said, you're a total WUM.
Rovers - 4317 (3,779; 3,794; 3,611; 1,468; 1,715; 1,089 FD; 1,539)
this is a worrying trend.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Not got to the class dealing with question marks in your school yet ? Oh dear. Adding new adjectives to your childish rant now, how clever.
As ever shams feel free to pontificate about every other club but any comment relating to their club is met with a tirade of childish slagging not seen since infants school. Accusing any other poster of idiotic, ill-informed or bitter posts is ironic given the rubbish you spewed out on this thread alone.
for your information I met Louis Kilcoyne RIP on a number of occasions while he was involved in Cork the FAI and Olympics Ireland. there was a lot, lot more to his career than his time at shams (though in your ignorance you probobly dont know it). The fact that so called sham supporters cannot even show a bit of respect for a man that spent thousands of his own money developing your club speaks volumes for the lack of knowledge of your own clubs history, but is hardly my fault. Despite your childih beliefs the world does not revolve around shams and pretty much every football/sports forum commented on the issue of his passing.
Another global anti shams conspiracy ????????????????????

First in four of those seasons, I'm not seeing any problem there, except that it should be five..
The Model Club
Tell all the Bohs you know
that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.
So Marino, just to get back on track. In light of some of the last few posts on this thread, notably hula hoops, and SkStu's, do you still assert that Rovers crowds are "melting away"???
Fair enough HH, accept your figures as accurate. If shams numbers are staying up (and not doubting it) then that is a very good achivement, and probobly at odds with general League trend.
For the record DFX was the poster that referenced 2009. Not sure what year he/she "lives in" so best you take that up with them directly .
