Because you're playing at a venue not too far away so should out-number Derry fans handy enough.

LMAO

It would be great to be fair if the Big club could even get within a thousand or two of our support for the final. Then hopefully we could fill the place between us and would be a great advertisment for the league.

Still don't forsee anyone having a problem getting a ticket for this.Our board was told "as many tickets as you's want"!

If the weather is okay I can see the local LOI fans turning up as it does look like being a good tie.

The last time Bohs played in a cup final in Dublin 4 (1992) the crowd was over 17,000.

Bohs beat Cork City 1-0

Think Dave Tilson got the goal

Therefore, it would be safe to say that a sizeable portion of that crowd would have been from Cork.

Newspapers at the time reported that Bohs had between 5-6,000 at the game , Cork had about 9-10,000 with the rest made up of neutrals and Rovers fans cheering for Cork on what I remember as a blustery May day. Dont think either Bohs or Derry will attract that many at the tail end of November.

All i will say is that the treatment of the poor Derry fans who post on our messageboard is a direct result of and in proportion to the idiocy of their posts. Instead of trying to engage them in some form of constructive argument which appears futile, the decision was taken to reply to the numerous posts from them by simply stating "minnows". It seems to wind you lot up as much as a section of your support loves to wind us up. Again, any "political" references come from posters who are tired of the rubbish spouted on the message board. Then there are those who have registered on your site recently, im sure they have the same reasons for doing this, not that i would agree with it. I have better things to do than register on opposition supporters message boards.

thebohs.com moderators could just ban those involved in this rubbish (like many other forums do) but they like to take a liberal approach to moderating which is their call. If opposition posters come on with genuine questions, as a few corkies and others do, they will be treated with respect.

marty88 and his buddies deserve the responses they are currently getting on the Bohs board, its that simple.

SkStu, i have no desire at all to prolong this tit for tat post, but i can't let you away with coming on here and blaming all the abuse on your forum on Derry City supporters. I have looked long and hard at your forum, and i can't find any posts from 'Marty' who you keep on about. I have seen a few posts from 'Brandywellpride' and 'football club'. They asked a simple question on cup final tickets and got nothing but abuse in return. Have a look and see how many posters came out with 'minnows', rather than answer what was being a genuine question. if you take a good look on your own forum, you will see that any posts relating to the final start off with an attack on Derry City supporters. Here have a look. Then you can apologise.

Thanks for backing me up. 'Marty'. has had one post on the Bohs forum since the semi final. He has 4 for the month of October. His last post was to praise Heary, and the one before that was to congratulate Bohs on winning the league, and the other two were not derogatory in any way. This all just shows that SKStu is well to the front when it comes to being a WUM.

Ps SKStu you have made as many posts on here in the last couple of days as 'Marty' has on the Bohs forum for the last Month. The difference being your posts were derogatory.

**R�iteoir** · 31/10/2008, 10:50 AM

Conveniently ignoring the posts he made before then - as they don't fit in with your agenda

well played, well played

There was about 10/12,000 City fans there that day, got absolutely soaked.
Awful day, Awful game , awful performace, I do recall that the Bohs support was made up of a lot of kids that day, such was the high pitch squealing that went on when Tilson scored.

Agenda, i have only been replying to an other's apparent agenda. I haven't the time or the inclination to go through all of 'Marty's' posts, but i have gone back through the 1st page right up to August. and Marty hasn't been abusive in any of his posts. However he has been on the receiving end of a multitude of crude and abusive comments. Just have a wee read yourself.

derogatory?! Come of it Derry, are you that sensitive?? i can get derogatory if you want you starry mutha!er...

Marty and the bohs mb have a torrid history and id suggest YOU read that and then apologise to ME. Not that i care either way whether you do or not.

And in fairness, I think anyone reading the thread will see that it is the Derry fans and the constant jibes, attempted "point scoring" and petty remarks that are the real WUMs in all this. Im simply trying to not let you m*nno#s have it all your own way. And whether i succeed in that or not doesnt bother me cos i am having a bit of craic doing it.

**CMcC** · 31/10/2008, 2:56 PM

LoI supporters fans comparing gates or support base is as useless an exercise as can be. All support bases in this league are pathetic. Its a redundant argument. Our support was less pitiful than yours !

I couldnt care less if I was the only one supporting my side at a cup final - especially if we won. Looking back at cup matches I dont really remember if we out numbered the opposition or not, what I remmber is that back pass, that missed tackle, that referee's decision or that cracking goal.

If you are lucky enough to have scored more goals than the other team at full time I can guarentee you that how many you had there versus how many they had, doesnt come into it. You just savour the moment.
And conversely I cant cling to the crumb that we outnumbered the opposition 2 to 1 in a situation where we have just lost a cup final. It really doesnt matter. It doesnt numb the pain.

Spot on.
The more Derry fans and assorted Bohs-hating rabble are there to see the Champions of Ireland win the double, the better.
That's what it's all about, not this incessant and pathetic bleating about crowd differentials that would be eye-wateringly funny if it wasn't such a sad indicator of the state of the game.

Bohs havw had thw worst attendances all season for a team that win the League...a sad reflection on LOI??...a sad reflection on the club not to promote games??)no kids go free at the title presentation against Derry), or a sad reflection on the type of football that is being played by overpaid players??...................
