They are far from being the biggest club in the country. Their support is very fickle. Will always get big crowds when your doing well and challenging for titles.Quote:

We do have a fickle support but the core of 2500 is prob the biggest in the league
City would like everyone to believe? Please expand.Quote:

I hope Newcastle United fans dont become aware of forums like this:rolleyes:
The size of your fan base is probably the most important factor for football here, so yeh, why wouldn't it? :rolleyes:Quote:

I'd agree with what they won to a certain extent but I don't see how a clubs financial situation relates to how big a club they are..Quote:

Maybe someday city might be considered the biggest club in the country, but just not yet.
I wouldn't worry about it Bella, he doesn't even support a LoI team (he used to have a Shamrock Rovers crest as his avatar), plus he's clearly forgotten the existence of Sporting FingalQuote:

true but the population of Dublin is about 4-5 times more than cork city's and there is 6 clubs in Dublin (3 1st division next season) unless you count all of cork county which would make it nearly half of Dublins population.Quote:

We played a Home games against Rovers on a tuesday night (normally one of our biggest gates) but it was a Munster home coming after the Heinekin Cup win and i dont think there was 2,000 at the game. If that game was on a Friday night with nothing else on i would have expected 4,000-5,000 at the game
Agreed, and it's great for the league. I would expect Dublin clubs in that situation to get higher atendancesQuote:

Expand meant discuss my query, and your arguement is baseless. Having said that, I'm not proclaiming that we're the biggest.Quote:

I think the honours list are in this order for the top 5 - derry not included as this is taken over the period from the foundation of the lge in 1926 to present
PS you could argue for sheer size and honours that linfield would be the no 1 club in all of ireland - but thats for another days argument
tbh were all down in the gutter really
Hadn't we all?Quote:

I reckon the next Cork team that gets formed will be even bigger than this current one.
Big big team this Cork lads.
Wasn't really around for all the other clubs myself (apart from Hibs when I was a youngun) so I can't answer for them - however when we faced our toughest crises yet this year the supporters played their part in keeping the show on the road - maybe we can call it quits and say we are the biggest crises club in the country (this year anyway).
but didnt rovers fans do just as good, if not better job with there club, which seems to be doing nicely now, and looks fairly steady, cork is yet to be determined,Quote:

Stupid argument. Bohs are obviously the Biggest club. They have won most leagues, most cups, have the most fans, the biggest bars, the biggest legal fees, the smallest manager and every other club are Minnows compared to them.
Basketball?!?!?!?! :D :D :DQuote:
