The best fans in the world though were probably more concerned with the match in Luxembourg, after all that's where the Scotland team were playing...

To be honest I'd say there's a chance ffgg might agree with that comment about the Scottish fans, third best supported league in Europe per head of population, with most teams in the top tier seeing an increase in their attendances this season, and contrary to what hill16no1man might try to say about the subject, there's three teams yet to play Celtic at home this season who each have an average attendance of over 10,000. I'd say if Scotland had reached the Euro's during the summer they would have received the award we got last night.

Sure isn't entertainment all it's about really, nobody is meant to take anything like this too seriously.

Mcguiness is simply a genius.He transformed a mediocre Donegal team into the top team in the country. Tell me any other coach who has achieved such an honour!

ffgg (Longford) - Posts: 2571 - 15/11/2012 16:00:50    1298235

Can't remember what they announced as the official attendance last night, but I'd imagine they may well have rounded it up, no way was it over 20,000 anyways. Much easier for the GAA to give lower figures when you have cash gates and under 16's in free to a lot of games.

Exactly man, up to date figures for attendances, can't see how people can argue it's not a well supported league or on a par with our own domestic league really. As far as our fans being the best in the world, more like event junkies, as soon as we start doing well or find ourselves in a position to do well in something the whole country becomes an expert and hops on the bandwagon, then if anything goes sour they turn their backs and start with the moaning, it's the fans who are there through thick and thin that'd you'd feel for.
