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.

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

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