Best fans

[drummer boy]

who would be the best home fans so far this year. id give best home fans to derry and best away fans to rovers although they caused trouble they still got behind their team. well that in flancare. cork were fairly good in flancare.

[tiktok]

always have time for the derry fans, they brought loads with them for the cup game at the cross last year (as usual) and were excellent right the way through.

[Soko]

It might sound ridiculous but for numbers and noise, Rovers are always the best who come to the Cross. Unfortunatley that is where the praise ends.

[drummer boy]

have to agree derry fans are a credit to northern ireland. they always bring drink into flancare and never cause one bit of trouble. they would be probably be a bit noisier in flancare because of the long journey to cork. any time they come to longford the town fans just stare at them. theyre mad!!!!!!!

derry fans are great. Harps, Galway and Longford are up there too, and limerick and UCd fans get special mention for their dedication. Worst have to be shels in my book- they're sneering, arrogant know-it-alls, just like everyone else at their club

[drummer boy]

totally agree but ucd have no vocal support apart from 4 or 5. i hate shels but they have got a few more vocal supporters in this year but there all young scum. Longford have excellent away support but our home support isnt the greatest but can be good at times. but truthfully whos is. apart from cork?

[MariborKev]

If you think our away support is noise at home we are ten times noisier

[pineapple stu]

There's an easy divide for best/worst fans - best fans are country fans; worst fans are Dublin fans (except Shels, who we've always gotten on with, and us of course! ).

Don't know why that works, but it does.

[gspain]

Derry for me too. Great support.

in fairness, the cup game last year ythey were magnificent, put us to shame. hearing them sing 'teenage kicks' always puts a smile on my face too.

[cfcgirl]

derry fans always come to the cross in numbers and are allways good vocally. sham fans makes for a great athmosphere at the cross and this season credit must go to waterford good support and very well behaved

[martinho]

Derry City and Shamrock Rovers the best of atmosphere. Division One -definitelt the Mr Men Brigade(The Harps!)

[niamh]

I'm thinking de Derry boys as well, in general the best away support though.
Home: for the best attendences in the league...City

Best attendances mean nothing when wee talk about quality of support. In terms of colour Pats and Rovers are miles ahead of the rest. Check the pics below

its good to see supporters put in the effort with the flags ans flares etc. but ye dont have the greatest vocal support. i also noticed that they are all grudge matches ye never have any of those flags for town matches. i like your che guevara flag though.
best vocal home is cork derry and rovers and best away is derry and rovers and i have to say town arent far behind. thought waterford were also good.

[Dodge]

Nah we just don't care about Longford. Non stop singing in every game bar that (it took us a while to get going v Derry too) including a 36 minute non stop Red Army chant v UCD (and yeah one of the lads timed it....). We usually do our singing on the Camac or in the shed and both of them have rubbish acoustics unlike the stand which echoes out the sound (which explains why some fans can here more than others in Richmond)


Derry brought about 12 fans to Inchicore and were fairly quiet (apart from the odd drum inspired WOooooooooooooo). Longford were very quiet. Drogheda brought decent numbers and sang for the first half (until we scored four in the second...) Bohs were OK, Rovers good, Shels' kids tried very hard (huge improvement on past years) Waterford had a small number but made decent noise (in Waterford our singing crowd was split...) I thought Cork were very quiet in turners Cross. UCD didn't even have their usual Bodhran

[drummer boy]

are you well there was a great singing support from longford when we were in inchore there was 250 to 300 town supporters we completely out sang ye.

[Bosco]

Inchicore wasn't great.Our fans wer pretty queit cos there wer a few pats fans(as always sittin around us).Thats why I think nxt time in Richmond we should(if our fans are a bit spread out) head to the shed or werever d pats fans aren't and then at half time let the pats fans in the shed and we'l head to wer they wer

[southside bohs]

derry fans have to be the best because they are mad and loud they just do not give a fcuk.pats are good for colour and been friendly,rovers are good but take it too far,galway united are very vocal as well.

Cork needs to stop singing anti-dublin songs and start singing about their club
