'cause we support Cobh Ramblers

BOHtox

... and that's the way we like it.

Congrats to Cobh on getting the required license for playing first division this year. Great to see them make a return.

Hopefully a few more teams can make the same step like Galway and Tralee who have tried in the past.

Are the same lads running the club as those who wanted the club to pull out of the league?

Cobh Ramblers megathread FTW

(Do kids still say for the win?)

F**k The World!!! Cobh, Cork City and Limerick FC @ Thomand. Bloody Munster-centric league

Erra Limerick is more or less Connacht. And Thomond is technically in Clare. Which is most certainly Connacht.

They're not quite all gone, but not the majority anymore certainly.

I've only been supporting the LoI for the past few seasons so please excuse my lack of knowledge re Cobh. What kinds of crowds did they get in the last few seasons they were in the league?

4-500 at a push in the premier and when they did well in the 1st. Though I can remeber going to one of their games years ago and being able to count the 78 people who were there. But those were the days when they would routinely finish bottom or 2nd bottom.

No to all of this

Delighted to see Cobh back in the league. It may be so far South as to be virtually in Spain, but it's a great place to visit and a proper wee club.

Cobh is a great away day. Train down from Cork, few nice pubs along the promenade. Hellish trek uphill to the ground, but there is a bar in it so happy days.

Ahh Cobh...

Mick Divine puffing away behind the goal
Humorous comments from the stadium announcer.
Lovely hot soup from the shop.
Pint at half time in the ground:eek:
Hardcore halfwits on the terrace
Steve Yelverton

For all their limitations they do serve a purpose in Irish football food chain. And for that reason they should be welcomed back.

Good to see them back. Know 3 Cobh fans who be over the moon.

I'm really like the sound of pints in the ground at half time.

Not sure it's worth relegation to actually find out, though.

Great to see an even number in D1.

According to the 2008 attendance thread on Foot.ie, this was Cobh's estimated crowds for that season and the previous four:

1,122 (681 FD; 368 FD; 403 FD; 240 FD)

I'd expect them to get about 200 for most of their games, with only Waterford bringing much of an away crowd. They might get a few hundred more for the first game for the novelty factor of being back in the LoI, though.

Really? because both Limerick and Clare are imprinted into my Munster Jersey along with the others.

Although it's nice to see the standard of education down in Cork is improving

Maybe there is some truth to the chant about Cork City fans being unable to read or write?:pac:

Well I had a giggle at this.

But I laughed harded at the amount of people who think you're just a thicko rather than someone being humourous!

The funny thing is that 1/3 of what he said was actually correct,

Thomond is in Limerick, which is certainly in Munster.

The name even means "North Munster".
