League announces massive attendance rise

[WeAreRovers]

Switching to the other channel, I can't believe people are still getting worked up over Rovers songs. Don't feed the beasts, it's futile, they revel in annoying people and people keep falling for it.

Who told you that?

Cracking thread this even if I prefer this channel. Carry on.....

Very ironic that a Linfield fan is hoping Rovers don't get into the Setanta Cup because they have one sectarian song.

I'm sorry but Windsor Park is the worst ground in both North and South of the border for singing those type of songs.
They were clearly heard on the TV at the game versus Drogs and Derry.
Neither set of supporters reacted which says more about where Linfield are as opposed to the rest of us.

Fair enough ye're trying to eradicate it but the fact is a large % of the stand behind the goals still find it necessary to sing "We are the Billy boys" and "Rule Britannia"
A visit of Rovers and they wouldn't need to be enticed-in fact i'd say ye'd be worse.

Conor God help Mr Sensitive if he ever goes to a game in england. He'd end up in tears.

The FAI figures say numbers up 38%. What percentage are the foot.ie 2007 numbers against the foot.ie 2006 numbers?

Up 46%.

[pete]

Up 46%.

Close enough.

[bohs til i die]

Why wont the clubs release the figures publically then? All very well giving them to the FAI.............

Cork v Rovers biggest crowd of the season so far.

Bohs put them in match reports on the official website and they are printed in the programme. Any figures posted on the thread here are the official attendance as per ticket count and membership/free list information.

Bohs so far this season have a league average 0f 2660, up from last season's league average of 1395.

Why would anything that groups of Englishmen sing at each other trouble him more than idiotic Provo street-riot wannabes from Dublin singing en masse of their hate for the section of the population he is (if I've read his other posts right) from? Particularly when he's from somewhere where that crap has a history of ending in more than tears.

I know which I find more depressing.

No doubt the song is really merely a protest at some of the more unsavoury aspects of the Orange Order as an institution and any other interpretation of the phrase "Orange *******s" is — *flutters eyelids* — mischievous.




Keep Orangebasterd-Hatin'.
Keep On Homophobin'.

3rd line is sectarian actually.

No, its just true. Any right thinking person should hate the orange order.

[el punter]

No, its just true. Any right thinking person should hate the orange order.

On days when the Rovers fans really ought to be taking a good look at themselves we get a comment like this.

Where's the headshake emoticon?

[osarusan]

No, its just true. Any right thinking person should hate the orange order.

Any right thinking person should hate comments like this garbage.
