Taken from the Ultras board via the Pats board :D

I would not abuse any Rovers team but neither would I applaude a Hoops team that have just been beaten 1/4. It only proves how poor we have become if we are happy about being beaten and also that Shels bring more fans to a game than us - that has to be another record we have managed to achieve this season
And your point is?
Christ on a bike he's not even 14 and he has more than 4,000 posts!!!! And he's Rovers obsessed :DQuote:

My point ..... outnumbered in a home match is unreal. Our away support (if in Dublin) have to travel for 4 hours and sometimes is better than your home support. That is my point ... chill out lads !! :rolleyes:
Get a grip will ya !! :rolleyes:Quote:

Shels having more fans than anyone at an away game (or at times a home!) is a joke!Quote:

Get a grip! Let's see, Cork usually bring 50 fans to Richmond which means, by your logic, that we only have 40 or so. When was the last time a Rovers v Cork game had an attendance of 90?Quote:

Unless you're a committed Hoop, you're going to have second thoughts about going to Richmond to watch a team that have picked up 1 point from 8 games receive an inevitable kicking from the league leaders.
But seriously, get a grip.
Cork City fans of all people should know better than to slag off other clubs about the level of their support. The very fact that attendances at Turners Cross have dramatically improved in recent years highlights the fickleness of such fans. Some people conventiently have short memories when it suits them, but I don't. I, for one, can clearlt recall the pitiful crowds that turned up during those final dark days at Bishopstown - 300 (no, not 3,000) for a league game against Rovers! Your club needed it's supporters more than ever then, and where the hell were you all.
Well our present state of affairs is equally as dire, if not more so, not to mention the fact that they are in stark contrast to the good fortune that Shels are currently enjoying. Until fans of other clubs have to endure what we have gone through over the past few years (and I genuinely hope that none of them have to) none of them have any right to slag us off over the level of our present support.

I mearly highlighted that fact it was said on St Pats board, and if it had been true, then it was an eyebrow raiser. It was you who jumped down my throat for doing so if you recall.
When was the last time we brought anything near as little as 50 fans to Richmond? :confused:Quote:

The "huge" numbers you bring would'nt be inflated by all the cark people living in the capital now would it?!! :DQuote:
