So toodle off there now and tell yer pal Broomhall/Coleman that he can't have an opinion on the EL/Harps coz he lives on the other side of the Atlantic!!!

Tool, Spa??? Constructive and mature....just what I've come to expect from you.

I'll try and make this as simple as possible for you but I'm sure you will still have difficulty with it.

You slag off HIS opinion on fans that HE likes in the league, YET HE GOES TO THE ****ING MATCHES!

So who 'can't have an opinion'. Harpskid?? You obviously don't think he can have one yet you wouldn't know any EL teams away support if they walked over the top of you.

Colman??Cop on you idiot. For a start Colman is a shareholder of Finn Harps Co-Operative Society so therefore owns part of our club so he can say what he likes.

Double standards but thats nothing new.

First of all, we've the third highest attendence in the league, our fanbase is no better or worse than any other EL teams bar Cork really, despite the rubbish said about it.

And if no one else cares about is it's suprising that every second post is about us and how much people hate us really isn't it? What a load of rubbish that is. Christ take a look at the Bohs messageboard, there's more Shels threads on there than anything.

I think the reason that there is so much abuse towards Shels is that other clubs are very worried about the implications of them winning the league.Their signings so far are already an indication of the job that cork,longford,drogeda and the rest have in catching them.Total domination is always bad for a league just look at norway.I dont think Shels should be abused for being what they are the best team in ireland.

I think Rovers had "per population" biggest support at the cross this season with honourable mention to Pats.

Bohs disappointing early in season but then surprised with 50-100 at last game of season.

Shel$ worst as went from 21000 home support at Landsdowne to 50 at the cross a few days later in top of table game.

We're only two weeks or so into the off season, I've a feeling there'll be some real gems coming up soon...

It all points to one thing. The Chairman.

Nuff sed!!!

Ya know ED we arrived at Tolka Park this season for our one and only FAI Cup tie earlier on in the season and actually outnumbered the home support. Maybe I'm being a wee bit unfair in that but the home support was alarming. I say that in light of your claim to have had the third highest attendance in the league.If this is the case I'm concerned for the league.

Having said that I enjoyed countless games at Tolka in my time in college and really look forward to our return next season.

I wont bother bringing the Hadjuk Split flag this time because that for me was one of the results of the season.

Yeah that was an awful crowd but on a saturday night against first division opposition in the cup obviously the crowd is going to fall. It hardly represents our average attendence, that'd be like saying Bohs crowd in the cup against that non league side or Kildare says anything about their average.

And sure bring the Split flag, it'll bring back some good memories

I think Derry deserve a special mention for bringing fans for a clash with Cork City. As a mid-table team, I wouldn't have thought any less of them if nobody came from Derry. But they were there making their presence felt. its a long trek from Derry to Cork.

The Cup semi tie 2/3 years ago was the best example of away support ive ever seen supporting the Eircom League. They must have brought 500-600 supporters for a Friday night game.

Pure Hardcore!
