Fair enough , still think tomorrow night will be a big test. City and Drogs are the two teams that will be pushing Shels at the finish so I'm looking forward to this one.

Blimey, 80 - 100 fans? Me and the lads on the shed will be sh!tt!ng ourselves!

Reckon its 80-100 more than most clubs take to the X. Considering its a working day and the distance involved its not at all bad.

City are the ones that broke the 200 mile agreement last season , remember?

Well we had 300 in Bohs last Friday and it was a working day with a similar distance involved.
We'll have 500+ in Tolka on Monday week for the Setanta game.

80-100 fans is pathetic for what is only one of a few long distance trips ye have to make. That's not a dig at Drogs but more an observation on Dublin/Leinster clubs in general.

It's amazing that no other set of fans even come close to the Rebel Army even though most of then don't have anywhere near the same amount of long trips.

Its well known that ye have a big support base in Dublin , which explains why so many of ye attend matches in Leinster , probably only 100 or so actually make the trip from Cork.
