Cosmo, you wouldn't happen to be a certain notorious season ticket holder/chucker from last year, by any chance?

No, but considering that 15,000 is bigger than at least two towns who have an eL team (including one Premier team), singling UCD out seems a bit unfair surely? And sure the only way Cork'll get to 15,000 regularly is if we go by fans' estimates of attendances!
Suppose you're only considering the Dublin teams, but still. Our fan base is growing steadily; nothing more we can do than that really.
Has to be UCD, former student there and was great to be able to see EL football at cheap student rates. Quite a few people I knew in college have UCD as their second team too. I also have to sympathise with the underdog status. The way that so many people think "UCD are bad for the league" really gets my back up - we had the same thing when I was in the Athletics club there, every other club just considered us "those fcuking students". The UCD fans really thrive on the fact that nobody would miss us from the league.
Just wondering btw, is UCD the only club that never has fans involved in trouble? No jokes about needing to have fans before they can be in trouble, but I never remember any crowd trouble with UCD fans.

another didnt do his homework

but thats it
Rovers; the dusty relic, the brazer with droopy tits and only the memories to comfort her, the taxpayer-raping, attention-seeking, scum-fans boil on the arse of Irish football, absolutely no redeeming feature whatsoever. Pity for the last 18 years? Gimme a break, try sharing a city with them.
Shels; the evil empire, Ollie Byrne, Pat Fenlon, Dave Rogers, no real reason not to hate
Pats; the family club, a lot of fair-weather supporters, but no real reason for hate
ONE CITY, ONE TEAM.
you must have got one hell of a beating from some of our lads!
I was going to vote for a rather unpopular North Dublin team but I woulda got my head bet at the next Bray match!!

Pat's are my favourite, and always has been.
Pint in Mcdowells beforehand and a chat with decent, knowledgeable football fans. Ground has always been a bit of a kip, but though it's sparsely populated now, some of the best atmosphere's I've experienced have been there. Helps that recently we've had the upper hand in fixtures, but it;'s also been the site of our most depressing loss, the 1-0 that won them the league in '99.
Bohs comfortably in second, decent stand and bar and they try to play nice football.

correct i retract that statement
it must have been a beating from Rovers hooligans
This thread has the helpful side effect of picking out the Dublin team whose fans don't read the first post before voting too! Interesting that 75% of DC's votes are from their own fans.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Bray wouldn't be on the list of Favorite Dublin teams due to being in Wicklow and not Dublin, How do ye Cork lads find yer way around the country with such ****e Geographic knowledge[/U]

The quote "UCD are a college, not a club" is goddamn insulting. So minority groups are not allowed to have football clubs ?! (that's what students are: a group within society)
Maybe you should know, some of Europe's bigger clubs (Leverkusen, PSV for example) grew out of the staffmembers of a company...
Tell me the difference between a club representing a quarter or area of a city, and a club representing the student population within a city. I think personally it's great we have something like UCD, a "speciality" but it's a very nice one. I rather socialise with their small but very pleasant support, than with the thousands at Dalymount who make trouble whenever they leave their home (oh sorry, "home" and "Dalymount" in the same sentence when refering to SRFC ??

Gerrit, we're as much a club for the locality as we are for students. We're better supported by locals than we are UCD students. I would not see UCD as representing the students and certainly not representing a minority. It is the very fact that even our fellow eL fans cannot get their head around this fact that leads to a lot of stupid ignorant and negative comments about our club.The quote "UCD are a college, not a club" is goddamn insulting.

It's a problem for UCD as it's not just fellow EL fans but potential supporters too.
That's what I meant by "even our fellow eL supporters" insinuating those outwidth including our potential support.
