Shamrock Rovers...always a big draw!

How many games have you went to that concerned Linfield and not Glentoran on a Saturday? Not very many.

We have 1728 Season ticket holders, are you saying that we don't get any paying customers? Dont be silly. You can add an extra 1000 onto that and more that do pay in every week. But of course you would know better than some one who goes every week though

You are living in tinky winky land if you think you get at least 2728 in for matches versus anyone other than Glens, Cliftonville, Portadown. FFS, the camera shows around 300 in the West Stand for Loughgall, Distillery, Larne etc and as you've never sold out the firerisk stand against the Glens on 3 occasions this season, it's unlikely to sell out against the aforementioned.

Your smokinghazard stand has around 2700 seats (inc freebie section in middle), not 3000.

Then again, I recall your attendance estimates on ILF - laughable.

Lux,

Bluemen live in a fantasy land as you well know.

Let him have his day, playtime will be over soon.

Why do Derry have to hijack everything when it comes to fans. You guys are too quick to profess your "popularity" amongst other fans.

Back to Rovers, how did the big love-in go last night?

I must say as a Cork City fan there is no other club in the country that generates such a buzz amongst City fans as when Rovers come to play...Is it right and saying that Rovers are easily the biggest draw for all our clubs when they come to visit?...they were missed big-time last year in the Premier and i for one am delighted to see them back...looking forward to seeing City stick a few past them tomorrow night...

last night!....... proof in the perverbial pudding!

Great banter as usual. Turners Cross is now undoubtedly the best ground in the Country. The game was decent for a 0-0, with Cork throwing everything at us in the 2nd half. Again, impressed with Cork's attitude of playing football even when things get a bit desperate. The drive up and back was well worth it, would've taken a draw before the game

'Cause if we don't you'll beat us to it....

I think we achieved that by starting the thread dont you...

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

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.
