Better than having Rovers play in Drogheda travelling by train with the "away" fans.

We're not paranoid. It's just that name is wrong. Cant make it any simpler than that. Does anybody call man ure mans?!

Our official nicknames are Rovers or The Hoops.

Cheers, You will always be SHAMS to us. I think we have called ye by that name long before the Oirsh Sun ever printed it. It's not meant as an insult of any sorts, to us we are Rovers and ye are Shams; simple!

Monaghan to you, its only Mons to our close friends :D

the drogs moniker did indeed originate from the sun and has been adopted by the younger drogheda fans however when the club attempted to put uperdrogs on scarves a couple of seasons ago there were protests from the older generation who wud still use 'The Boynesiders'
