Rovers fans on Saturday

**Colm** · 25/09/2003, 8:02 PM

You would think that with the game being on a saturday Rovers would bring down at least 500 fans.
However, this may not be the case. Some posts over on the Ultras board suggest that there will be less than 150 of them travelling. The Hoops SC can't even get the numbers to fill a bus at the moment.
They have only a few trips out of the Pale every season and yet, despite it being a Saturday game, they can't bring a decent away support. I can't understand how they can constantly critisise our away support when it is, in fact, far better than theirs.

I suppose the less of them that travel, the less trouble they'll cause anyway.

cant seem to access ultras website

Hmmm....their support never quite lives up to its claims. It is probably best that fewer travel anyway.

It wouldn't surprise me if there was trouble,it only takes a few scum bags.

In fairness .... I think Rovers realise the seriousness of the situation and wont be involved in any trouble. I'd hate to see any trouble anyway. There are only 14 games left this season and they are packed into 2 months. No club has time for any extra "trouble" on their plate so i hope everyone sees sense and nothing happens.

sorry to disagree but these people that start the trouble are animals and couldnt give 2 sh!ts about the situation

Is that all you people are concerned with - how many away fans are going to make the journey to The Cross? Don't you have a football team to be worried about?

**Bionic Brennie** · 26/09/2003, 8:36 AM

Ultan, what are you doing reading footy sites at half eight in the morning? Don't you have a job to go to?

Just to be accurate:
Isn't it a home game for them?
Oh that's right, they don't have a home.

"Homeless, Homeless, Homeless, homeless hoops
Homeless, Homeless, Homeless, homeless hoops..."

I think Rovers realise the seriousness of the situation

I don't think those animals give a damn. They persistently cause problems and won't stop because of this.

The Scum visit will bring a new slant to the chant "You're supposed to be at home!"

Not that it matters a toss but I usually start work sometime between 7:30 and 8.

Actually, I take that back. I usually show up for work at that time, I start a bit later...

Ya Stupid ******S

The REAL Rovers fans do care bout the trouble that is hurting our club. I'm proud to be a Rovers fan but its d stupid *******s that ruin it for us(and it is only a small number of idiots). i dont want to see this GREAT club go out of business

i wish i could have gone down to cork...but i wasnt able to make it and congrads to all the rovers fans who did travel down.

And your fans arent so perfect.....
1.ye only bring up a few hundred to dublin when ye play us

2.i saw a picture of your fans wit a banner saying "reynolds, rot in hell",whats the point...we dont have a banner saying"billy woods, rot in hell"

3.DONT PAINT ALL ROVERS FANS WITH THE ONE BRUSH.

Your right bout point 3, there were old people who rem the good old days(when ye won the 15 &24) there at the cross supporting ye and I saw the shame on there faces when ye tryed to get onto the pitch at George. They moved up to 'safety'. Ya Reynolds Rot in Hell, We hate Reynolds like ye hate BOHS. And ye have a sign of that nature for bohs. We don't like em eitehr but do you see us wit a sign so whats the point

1. here we go again...
City away games...2 at 600 mile round trip, 4 at 400 , 10 at 340 and 2 at 100+ .

Dublin Teams away trips..4 at 340 , 2 at 200 , 4 at around 100 and 8 at 10ish.

count up the miles ya dope ya....City along wit Derry and Waterford have serious mileage to do every season. For us to be getting a couple of Hundred up in Dublin every other week is far more impressive than ye getting 100 down twice a season..

2. "He gave his word, he took the cash, cause Alan Reynolds is scum"
He agreed to sign on with City but took the rovers cash a few hours later..When he was touted as going back to waterford for family reasons no one had a problem with that..the judas actions of the man is the reason for the ill feeling towards him.

3. i thought ye jackeens were used to sharing...(needles and all that
