They may be obnoxious but they are faithful. I was at the games on Friday night and most of the day on Saturday and both day's crowds didn't seem to come near the crowd that came out to support Irmo. I realize from reading these threads that most of the people in attendance were NOT fans of Irmo and only wanted to witness yet another upset. SCHSL will miss Irmo if they fall from grace. $6500+fans x 8= a whole lot of something for high school soccer in South Carolina.



I agree Irmo fans do a great job of supporting their team, but the proximity of the state championship site helps their numbers.

If the state championship were held at Winthrop, Patriots Point or Furman, you would see big crowds supporting Northwestern, Wando and Riverside respectively.

Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.
