I remember when nostalgia used to be great

Who were the bigger Cork City fans then, The Franks or the Sultans?

I remember seeing the Franks at games alright but I also remember seeing Morty from the Sultans wearing the City "West Germany" jersey live on stage.

holy chit dont go there.. thats opening up some can of worms there...

still though not one to shy away from controversy.. i'd back the Sultans.. (sry franks)

In the early days of the sultans, you could get in to the concerts free if you were wearing your city jersey. And on the tickets it said:
Management reserves the right to refuse admission.
No Rovers or Bohs fans.

But I reckon the lads from the franks actually made it to more games (Morty was the only sultan who could match them)

Morty is now a dj in stockholm

ah they must have the the good old days....after the real good old days when the shed was full 30mins b4 KO and u had to get into the ground early to even have a hope of getting in there

yea i remember looking for my jumper once in the shed... where did all those jumpers go anyway..thats what i'd like to know?

Could everyone stop going on about the past. There are people who try to make the shed just as loud and intimadating as it was in the past but nobody wants to join in the songs and chants. Only 3 games this season had somewhat of a good atmosphere- the 2 rovers games and the Derry game.

Lovely to think about the past, but we can do it again if people get off their asses and come back to the shed! I've spent the last year trying to keep an athmosphere going in there with little or no help. Also, I've NEVER seen a can of special vat in the Shed!

Ah c'mon Eanna....the croaky little celtic Jersey wearin ****ed on half a canners.....

fair point, but what I'm saying is that there are enough people on this forum alone pining for the "old days" to outnumber the ones they're complaining about!
