Cork currently have the highest attendances and are 2ndt best club currently. Rovers are the top club historically, have the best ground (which was more good luck than good guidance) Athlone are the oldest and Youths the youngest. By what do you gauge being the biggest club never mind a big club as a Real Madrid fan eg would be laughing at us all on this!
As for the monopoly on arrogance, delusions and a lack of humility - we are making hay when the sun shines ;p Some Rovers fans do seem to talk as if they've a birthright to be 'biggest club' but i'd probably be no different if it were Dundalk that had 17 league titles. When Dundalk top the roll of honour in due course I will of course remind people at every opportunity. I will also take up the mantle telling everyone how everything should be done as THE model club!! ;):D
Seriously though these p!ssing matches are pointless. Each club has its merits, its (huge) fails and nearly every fan will differ!!
