Cork are the best hurling supporters in the land, and the best sporting people in general. I know at least 7 lads from Limerick who wouldn't know a sliotar from a stone who were on the bandwagon last weekend. The same lads will get tickets for the All-Ireland too if Limerick get that far.

i think waterford have the best most passionate supporters. i agree with a point made by another poster than limericks "supporters" are massive bandwagon jumpers. just the die hard fans before the tipp game, then after that it increased to most hurling people being back on their side and since they won the munster final every limerick person you meet is their biggest fan. after they lose the semi final we'll see the support drop until the next bandwagon comes by and they will go back to their soccer or rugby. hurlingexpert (Clare) - Posts: 1941 - 19/07/2013 11:36:17 1435822 Link 0 |
I don't know what's all this talk about Munster rugby supporters and limerick hurling supporters. The vast majority of these supporters support both teams and the bigger the profile of these games the the bigger numbers that will turn out. Most teams in Ireland be they GAA rugby or soccer have only a small core support and we must consider the likes of Munster rugby can draw on the whole province. If all supporters stuck rigidly to one sport as they do in England for example crowds would be much smaller at the big games here. kerryhound (Kerry) - Posts: 37 - 19/07/2013 12:54:14 1435896 Link 0 |
I remember being in Thurles last year and the Limerick fans were singing "The fields of Athenry", I think the reaction from all around me was "Why exactly are they singing that at a GAA match"? Pinkie (Wexford) - Posts: 4100 - 19/07/2013 12:56:33 1435899 Link 0 |
From matches i've been at...i'd say Cork. Great banter and generally good natured people! tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 19/07/2013 13:42:34 1435927 Link 0 |
Little note, 6,500 at Thurles tonight, by all reports no more than 1,000 Waterford fans. That says it all lads. Hoover78 (Limerick) - Posts: 865 - 23/07/2013 20:52:51 1440514 Link 0 |
Tiobrad, don't ever mention 1998 without prior warning - it still gives me the chills followed by a bout of uncontrollable wailing. banner_boy (Clare) - Posts: 1285 - 23/07/2013 21:02:57 1440535 Link 0 |
Mes amis cheers for the clarification. At least i was on the ball knowing the great Seanie had some role in that goal. kiloughter (Galway) - Posts: 1941 - 23/07/2013 21:27:07 1440578 Link 0 |

The auld Limerick folk seem to be great at overestimating the breakdown of a crowd. Someone said they outnumbered Wexford in 2001 by 7-8 to 1....not my recollection! Now someone saying it was 6-1 last night...Waterford have great support too lads. Pinkie (Wexford) - Posts: 4100 - 24/07/2013 11:20:33 1440823 Link 0 |
so what if a good proportion of the limerick support follow munster - I personally am a rugby fan first and a gaa fan second but follow both with equal fervour - why is it that SOME (thankfully not all) consider following other soprts to be some sort of evil unpure unpatriotic pastime janesboro (Limerick) - Posts: 1502 - 24/07/2013 11:49:07 1440870 Link 0 |

yeah because the bandwagon is up in limerick big time now thats why they are turning out. hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 24/07/2013 12:12:23 1440911 Link 0 |
I think in general antseabhac, that Cats supporters are great. Only ones I've come across that were unpleasant were younger ones drunk at finals and you get that from every county. Kilkenny supporters I was talking to or near at the Portlaoise games, and met in pub afterwards, were grand. Always like going to Nowlan Park for league games and having a pint and a chat in the Park Inn or O'Loughlins. Couldn't really say a bad word against them in fairness, and we've played them 3/4 times a year in recent times, and in a fair few important underage games. hurlingdub (Dublin) - Posts: 6978 - 24/07/2013 12:19:43 1440928 Link 0 |
I would say same about your own crowd antseabhac in football. Rarely meet an unpleasant Kerry supporter. hurlingdub (Dublin) - Posts: 6978 - 24/07/2013 12:21:46 1440934 Link 0 |
