There wasnt a local club for me to follow but i went to some of the euro games and i wasnt in the country 15 years ago so couldnt get into any of the other dublin clubs.. Im going to watch the local ladies knock lumps out of each other in a charity match in a few minutes so will that do you?
You seriously need to get over the fact that Sporting Fingal are here to stay so we dont get all this repeated over and over and over again.
POST OF THE MONTH JUNE 2010
" I dont like Sporting Fingal "
Agreed, there isnt an issue with home or away fans using them to get in just that someone who may work for an post who must have swiped a few from work and hand them out. There is no way that shels head paid that many bills.Quote:

With bohs pats and rovers in the prem you's have given us a derby game with a bit of banter which all shels fans miss from playing the other dublin clubs and i enjoy the fixture to be honest.Quote:

I think fingal can be here to stay if they get run like a football club and get themselves out to swords in the next few years. The current set up though is just not sustainable given your location, gates and wage bill. If you win the cup maybe it'l boost you numbers but we were'nt that far away from the champions league group stages not so long ago and it made no difference to our gates unfortunatley. It'l be interesting to see what happens to fingal. Europe would be a huge bonus and could make the club.
This thread is bleedin hilarious! Big bad Shels fans picking on poor Fingal.
I hope notQuote:

Just because your club is currently being backed by money-people does not mean you will be immune from meltdown in the future. A bit of perspective wouldn't go amiss!

As for who a person chooses to follow thats there choice. I have come late to the league thats true. Bohs or shels never appealed to me. Im not from any where near there. Fingal is where I live so fingal is who I will support. I dont get why thats a problem. I know others are now going to come on and start saying fingal is just a made up county(dont bother) Or that im just supporting them because of the money we have. I didnt know we would have money until after I decided to support them. Im not from the outskirts of the city im from north county Dublin. This is a club that represents me and my area, simple. Why would i support Shels when they are a South side club. The argument for bohs is more valid but the way I see it is Bohs will be the North Dublin city club and we will be the north county dublin club.
OH, Did I mention we are in the FAI cup final :p
Just because a few heads in blanch follow bohs it doesnt mean they represent D15. Few follow Pats, shels and rovers as well, do they all represent D15?Quote:

Your club isnt even on the right side of the liffey. So do shels fans from the south side stop supporting shels because its far away. I think you need to read back over the last four or five posts on this thread and ask yourself could I have represented myself in a better light :)Quote:
