I always rated both Limericks and Wexfords supporters the Best in Ireland. Even with a sniff of success they come in their droves to games and create an excellent atmosphere at games they are involved in. A few games stand out for me, preddan (Kildare) - Posts: 726 - 17/07/2013 16:39:39 1434717 Link 0 |
Oh seriously they are so good that the Limerick county board were deciding only two months ago not to play any league matches in the Gaelic grounds as it was costing them too much to open the ground for less then 2 thousand they were getting hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 17/07/2013 17:07:11 1434765 Link 0 |
WE may not be great football supporters but hurling we stand as the best no question about that one monkstownrebel1 (Cork) - Posts: 351 - 17/07/2013 17:11:02 1434768 Link 0 |
Limerick are massive bandwagon jumpers. You have the hardcore followers (about 2 or 3k people) who go with them through thick and then but any sniff of success whatsoever and along come another 25-30k. banner_boy (Clare) - Posts: 1285 - 17/07/2013 17:11:14 1434769 Link 1 |
I agree with banner boy 90% of the crowd last Sunday were Munster rugby support going for a drinking session after. hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 17/07/2013 17:18:48 1434782 Link 0 |

Limerick, Cork, Waterford and Wexford in that order. Some of the comments by Hillman and Bannerboy are pathetic. Hoover78 (Limerick) - Posts: 865 - 17/07/2013 17:59:59 1434830 Link 0 |

Hillman it is just that i have seen that nonsensical angle you have used with Limerick before. Most Dubs re Limerick are grand but you have an axe to grind, i have seen it with previous comments. For your information i do not miss a game but i prefer Championship games in Limerick where we can have a white hot atmosphere. Hoover78 (Limerick) - Posts: 865 - 17/07/2013 19:11:40 1434884 Link 0 |
The same u21 team, we played Galway in Ennis and i would say there was no more than 1k Galway fans, the rest were Limerick 12-13k away from home for an under 21 game. Hoover78 (Limerick) - Posts: 865 - 17/07/2013 19:20:12 1434890 Link 0 |

A special mention to cork fans! I met in pub they said they booked into a hotel after seeing limerick fans invade the pitch the way we did! Said if cork won they wouldn't have invaded field like that! It's not easy to follow teams in the league when your playing weak teams ur expected to beat! Limerick fans are passionate! I've a very high opinion of cork fans too for staying around last Sunday I take my hat off to them and its something I won't forget ImClass (Limerick) - Posts: 51 - 17/07/2013 20:34:24 1434937 Link 0 |
I follow Louth football everywhere. I keep an ear on the hurling and if Louth were to raise their game to play for Liam I'd be on that wagon. ged (Louth) - Posts: 296 - 17/07/2013 21:15:27 1434964 Link 0 |

I have to sat u found Kilkenny supporters very genuine after we beat them at least 30 of them after the match on the way congratulated us and said they hope we go and win Leinster now hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 17/07/2013 21:44:15 1434990 Link 0 |
Does anyone remember the poor Cork support for the semi final in Munster against Clare in '95 when Seanie McMahon scored the winning goal on one hand. Again in the '97 semi final against the same opposition it was quite poor and outnumbered on both occasions. Since then Cork have pretty consistently a good support in hurling that really kicked off in 1998/99. Very hard to judge who has best support as every county has bandwagon supporters. In my experience the best hurling final atmosphere and colour bar none was the '96 Limerick Wexford final and the best football final was the Galway Kildare '98 final. More outside the ground than inside the ground the day. Never saw as many Galway people travel for a hurling or football final. We lined O'Connell Street that day to applud the team bus to Croker before the game. kiloughter (Galway) - Posts: 1941 - 18/07/2013 09:03:57 1435021 Link 0 |
