These are the worst types, the online crew, a lot with their english club crests as profile, and waiting to slag off any LOI team the minute they slip up.
    Would like all LOI teams to progress but past caring what the floating fan / EPL tossers thinks.
    Honestly believe they mainly slag off LOI to cover up their embarrassment at following foreign teams (usually English or Scottish) and ignoring our own.
    My usual answer is - it may be ****e but at least it’s OUR ****e 😁 gets them every time.

    All clubs have a hard core and then a flexible element depending on how well they are doing, without doubt Cork have the biggest 'flexible' support which results in increases/decreases way in excess of other LOI clubs.
    Calling you out on your lies here marinobohs.

    Caulfield never slagged off Dublin clubs about their crowds last season.

    He slagged them off about their crowds four seasons ago.

    No club in Dublin has got a strong local affinity. Their attendances and the shirts you see kids wandering around in tells its own story.

    And least of all Shels to be honest.

    Don't disagree, just saying technically Rovers and Shels are named after areas.

    To be fair Cabo have the potential to have that local affinity and every so often I think Rovers and Pats are getting there. Don't think Shels have a chance of it while remaining in North Dublin, especially with Bohs connection to the area seemingly growing.

    That's just being pedantic though. Streets are irrelevant - there are no parts of Dublin called anything to do with 'Shamrock Rovers' or Shelbourne'

    Shelbourne isn't an official name of anywhere but the street but its sort of an unofficial name around Dublin for the area between Grand Canal, Ballsbridge, Irishtown

    The problem we have is that the demographic in Inchicore is all over the place. We have tried with the African and polish communities to no avail and the indian/Pakistanis have no interest in football.

    Yeah the best you can do it get them when they're in school and get all the demographics in one go.

    I'm seeing more Polish and Brazilians in Tallaght these days including some with kids which is a good sign.

    I have the Shamrock Rovers centinary book, I must dig it out it explains their origins in Irishtown or Ringsend can’t remember which. I’m not sure about $hels they played in Shelbourne Park so not sure if the ground was named after them or vice verse. In passage of time you would have to allow for the changing of terminology for certain locations in the city , an area called one thing over a hundred years ago might not be referred to in the same manner today. IE in Dublin the monto or the Gloucester Diamond.

    Shels are named that because when they were just a group of people playing random matches they were organising a game against the local barracks in beggers bush the barracks asked for a name (something they didn't have) they saw a sign for Shelbourne Road and decided to say Shelbourne. It was is a 42 video recently, apparently there's other potential stories too, nobody really knows the exact origin of it.

    Shamrock Ave.

    I'm aware of Shamrock Cottages, Shamrock Place and Shamrock Cottages all off North Strand on Dublins northside.

    Does Shamrock Avenue still exist?

    If none of the Rovers fans know off-hand, it would be interesting to understand the origins

    It's now actually called The square, funny coincidence. There's a plaque for the club on the "Catholic men's & women's society of Ireland" building which is just round the corner
