It's a good article by a well known Rovers fan. I disagree with UCD getting chucked as they have history, have won the Cup and represented us twice in Europe. Last night was further evidence that they are indeed a welcome addition.
However CHF simply should be not in the league. The reasons are obvious. I dont know how many times I've said this but they need to be replaced by a Kerry club. The result is better, less Dublin clubs, another Munster derby and definite possibilities of support down there. YOU CANNOT HAVE A CLUB WITH NO FANS.

Rover’s fans have a hatred of Dublin City, which has no logic involved. There is no great clamour to get into the league. We might be a small club & have a small base of fans but that’s not a reason for us to be kicked out of the league. Rover’s fans are being a bit high & mighty about this. We won the first division title & that's not a bad achievement in 5 years. Maybe Rovers fans would like to have the publicity we have. We’ve been punching above our weight for a long time. Like Derek, I never followed Home Farm. Comments made about them seeing us as being part of them are a joke to anyone in Dublin City or Home Farm.

dont flatter yourselves that we hate you. you are irrelevant. so irrelevant you shouldnt even be playing senior football.
we are jealous of your publicity? get real. which one of us has had 4 live tv outings this season. whose manager is on the back page of todays star (!)? seery city gets more exposure than rovers?!? now i know you are a joker.
those comments linking your team past and the club you replaced may be a joke to you and their 3 other fans, but they arent to the rest of the EL viewing public.

no bitterness involved ringo. just exasperation that the FAI had such a lack of ambition that they didnt try and get tullamore town or a host of other clubs in.
you dont justify your el existance as a club.
trying to manufacture animosity with rovers fans in order to create a fan culture wont work.
seery will run out of cash at some point and this horrible little football experiment will go by the wayside.
but seriously, dont think you are relevant enough to hate. sure im only posting this because its a quiet day in work!

There is an awful lot of Rovers criticisism towards Dub City, could it be that Hoops fans recognise a teeny bit of themselves in the Vikings.

I actually think this...
but seriously, don't think you are relevant enough to hate.
...would sum up Rovers' fans' views. And probably the views of all the Dublin teams. Same as the views towards us, really. DC fans don't like Rovers - understandable after the Collins incident - but that doesn't mean it's reciprocated.
I think DC got off on the wrong foot when Seery started talking about being in Europe in so many years and then joining the Atlantic League and all this sort of rubbish. The dogs on the street could have told him he was talking nonsense, yet he still prevails with the notion (which I read in the Mirror a month or so ago most recently) that once they get a decent ground, the crowds will flock. Having Dublin in the name and wearing blue is usually thrown in there as well, but again, that's also nonsense. I think a lot of animosity towards DC is due to the whole "too big for their boots" thing (and also due to being in Dublin, even if the club/population split between Dublin and outside is actually about right). Monaghan and Kilkenny get similar crowds to DC and no-one has as much animosity towards them.
Don't really mind them myself. Don't particularly care about them - but then, I don't particularly care about lots of teams in the league. It might help that they're the only current league team we've never met in the league. But that's my take on it.

have all the investors in seery city gotten good value for money?
quick question: if roddy is such a waster, whats your problem with us robbing him? surely you would have been delighted to have rid?

It wasn't Roddy going was the problem, it was making sure Dublin City players that he signed wouldn't fly in to play. Others were promised jobs with Rovers if they stayed in the premier division.
Tell me Ringo, how much have you made with your shares in DC?
Believe me, i've made a lot of money out of Dublin City, you'd be surprised ;)
