Irish for a fan (as in sporting) please

HI,

I know at GAA games it's called over the speakers and phonetically it's something like lucht-lun-aha but can anyone tell me the proper spelling please?

Go raibh maith agut,
Pádraig.

what is called out in croke park would probably be lucht leanúna

or tacadóir

Lucht leanúna= followers
Lucht féachana= viewers, as in t.v, theatre, pictures etc.
one fan would be "leantóir foirne" (lit. follower of a team)

I have a Cork t-shirt (Pennys) and wanted to get 'lucht leanúna' printed on the back on it for a joke (like bainisteoir)
