I went for UCD, even though they are our cloest team and probably our only "derby" match, but i have seen a lot of them over the last few years and think they play good football and do an extremly good job on little or no budget. If only every team could follow suit we wouldnt have the same suitations as Rovers and Waterford etc...
Don't think much about of any of them really..
But went for Shels, cause Colin plays for them :rolleyes:
I would like to think that if the league did ever turn a corner and did well, most clubs would get attendances like that given the cachement area they are in. Nothing wrong with ambition.Quote:

Has to be UCD, former student there and was great to be able to see EL football at cheap student rates. Quite a few people I knew in college have UCD as their second team too. I also have to sympathise with the underdog status. The way that so many people think "UCD are bad for the league" really gets my back up - we had the same thing when I was in the Athletics club there, every other club just considered us "those fcuking students". The UCD fans really thrive on the fact that nobody would miss us from the league.
Just wondering btw, is UCD the only club that never has fans involved in trouble? No jokes about needing to have fans before they can be in trouble, but I never remember any crowd trouble with UCD fans.
one lad got into trouble for firing a paper aeroplane
another didnt do his homework
and one stabbed his friend in the leg with a compass
but thats it

Shels; the evil empire, Ollie Byrne, Pat Fenlon, Dave Rogers, no real reason not to hate
Pats; the family club, a lot of fair-weather supporters, but no real reason for hate
you must have got one hell of a beating from some of our lads!
I was going to vote for a rather unpopular North Dublin team but I woulda got my head bet at the next Bray match!!

why is bray not on the list there my fav club in dublin and it has nothing to do with the fact i live in greystones :D
Pat's are my favourite, and always has been.
Pint in Mcdowells beforehand and a chat with decent, knowledgeable football fans. Ground has always been a bit of a kip, but though it's sparsely populated now, some of the best atmosphere's I've experienced have been there. Helps that recently we've had the upper hand in fixtures, but it;'s also been the site of our most depressing loss, the 1-0 that won them the league in '99.
Bohs comfortably in second, decent stand and bar and they try to play nice football.
correct i retract that statement
it must have been a beating from Rovers hooligans
This thread has the helpful side effect of picking out the Dublin team whose fans don't read the first post before voting too! Interesting that 75% of DC's votes are from their own fans.
:D :DQuote:

The quote "UCD are a college, not a club" is goddamn insulting. So minority groups are not allowed to have football clubs ?! (that's what students are: a group within society)
Maybe you should know, some of Europe's bigger clubs (Leverkusen, PSV for example) grew out of the staffmembers of a company...
Tell me the difference between a club representing a quarter or area of a city, and a club representing the student population within a city. I think personally it's great we have something like UCD, a "speciality" but it's a very nice one. I rather socialise with their small but very pleasant support, than with the thousands at Dalymount who make trouble whenever they leave their home (oh sorry, "home" and "Dalymount" in the same sentence when refering to SRFC ?? :D )

so in theory there just a small town in dublin just a small town in dubllin small town in dublin :D
Gerrit, we're as much a club for the locality as we are for students. We're better supported by locals than we are UCD students. I would not see UCD as representing the students and certainly not representing a minority. It is the very fact that even our fellow eL fans cannot get their head around this fact that leads to a lot of stupid ignorant and negative comments about our club.Quote:
