Why do Derry have to hijack everything when it comes to fans. You guys are too quick to profess your "popularity" amongst other fans. 'Cause if we don't you'll beat us to it....

Rovers not a big draw in Derry.

Way down the pecking order after Shels, Harps, Cork, Linfield. Probably less of a draw than Drogheda as well these days....

Must be hard to be so bitter all the time.

Anyway good result down there in the best ground in the league. Proper stewarding too.

Great thread:D

I can understand why Rovers would not be as big a draw in Derry. Since Derry got promotion (1987) Rovers have won only 1 title I believe and haven't won the cup. Shels, Pats, Cork et al have all been more successful.

For the likes of Limerick we have a long history back to our formation. Rovers were traditionally the glamour club. Likewise for Waterford, Cork etc rovers were always there in thier periods of success. Longford even had a cup semi in the 50's to avenge. Sligo have the "Carpenter final" and I'm sure many before.
