In fairness, every clubs supporters reckon their derby is the best/biggest in the country :eek: .
Like I went to bohs and rovers last season and i didnt think it was any more special than say shels V pats
Drogs V Craptown every time for me - always get good crowds for that match no matter what division either teams in - over 4800 at the match earlier this season and boriel was rocking.
Would also like to go to a harps/ derry derby but i dont like the way they all go boozing together beforehand (no problem with boozing with opposition supporters as i do it myself but for derbies i cant see how it can be done)
Bohs-Rovers is the "biggest" (not sure what that means mind) derby in Dublin. If both teams were doing well, the crowds would easily beat a Cork-Shels game (the biggest crowd of the season so far?). For a while Pats-Shels was the biggest Dublin derby crowd-wise and colour-wise, but now there's no real Dublin derby of consequence except for fans of the individual teams.Quote:

do you not mean it was bouncing ;)Quote:

Rovers v Bohs would surely be the most intense derby the Republic has to offer.
Oh and Waterford Cork derbys only get big crowds because of the City fans. It's not as if the Waterford public are gripped with fever during derby week!! Ramblers v City is better IMO.
It's hard to disagree with that really. Derbies have a tradition behind them. Cork/Waterford and Derry/Harps are recent additions. I think Drogs/Dundalk runs your 2 close though. I have attended Rovers/Bohs and Drogs/Dundalk and the rivalry is pretty intense.Quote:
