Players lose you games, not tactics. There's so much crap talked about tactics by people who barely know how to win at dominoes. Brian Clough

LESS OF THE BULL NOW!
lads in mood for a rant
can someone explain something to me there was 700 or so in athlone for match, personally about 200 hadnt been to a match all year, they came to the match professed there love for the club drank from the cup as if they had sweated fro the club, it makes me sick then to go to a victory parade in our own town and only 200 turn up all the trophy chasers are missing had there moment with the ramblers will prob watch all the home games next year from mthe comfort of a bar stool in the town
not saying al of us are the best fans but we all show up for home games and alot of away games and to win the league means so much as we been there thro thicka nd thin come what may. it kills me to see the victory celebrated by people who will not go to games and god forbid we lose our first game of season they will be round the town slagging team and club typical rams etc ye now the way
i thought it was a disgrace yesterday felt ashamed to be a cobhite,sick of trophy chasers who could give a sh*t if club caught fire tomorrow
sorry for being a moaner but this has annoyed me since yesterday

Must say you have a valid point or two there, however, people, be them avid loyal supporters who attend all games or just one game, have every right to attend the Victory Parade. I din't travel to one single away game last year for various different reasons. Would that make me a 'Trophy Chaser' as you call it? Don't get me wrong, I'm not having a go at you for your comments, but I'd rather 300 trophy chasers and 400 loyal (been to every game types)turn up at a game as big as Athlone was. I have no need to explain myself, but next season I probably won't be going to any away games either. My reasons are personal and nothing Club or people related.
Very poor turnout yesterday and u are right ramsfan there were a lot of trophy chasers up in athlone. I commented about in a previous thread and when walking behind the lads i looked around and there wasn't one of the trophy chasers around. Even the night we won the league up in rams.....the fallout from the com was unbelievable all these p**sheads who hadn't attended a game all year up there celebrating a league win when really they were just celebrating a pub that was open after the comm.
An absolute disgrace!
LESS OF THE BULL NOW!
Lads theres trophy chasers at every club no matter where you go,if we string a few wins together next year you will see our attendences soar but a few losses and the opposite occurs,we all know there was people in athlone that havent been seen in years but thats always goin to be the way in sport onto the bandwagon for the victory drinks
I know there are some valid points there but don't be too quick to judge. I met a few people in Athlone who I though were 'trophy chasers' but when talking to them found out they are Season ticket holders too..........
Could have embarrased myself easily but thankfully didn't.
I know a lot of supporters that can only make about a quarter of the games due to shifts and family etc.
Athlone was the only away game I made myself last year and I missed about 4 home games too. This was probably my best attendance in years. Would love to make all of them but I can't.
As for the Victory parade, I think it wasn't advertized very well which was the the reason for a lower than expected turnout. Only for logging on here last week I would have been downtown at 3.........

what concern is it of anybodys if someone turns up once or never.
people spent money to go to athlone and support the team and then get hammered for being trophy chasers.the town was united for the match against athlone like never before and everybody made an effort to get there maybe it should have said only regulars welcome or something like that or no trophy chasers allowed and that might have pacified people.the thing is that the support is there, its now how to keep people going next season and make the home matches special occasions that people want to go to and not be critisied by whingers going on about trophy chasers etc,one person through the gate is a benifit to the club so everbody should be thanked and welcomed not questioning why they are there.
