Sligo Rovers

garth-marenghi

Sligo Rovers annual fundraising draw takes place at the end of this month with some great prizes on offer including a holiday in Allicante, trips to Man Utd and Celtic vs Rangers games, weekend breaks at hotels in Donegal and Limerick, a rovers season ticket for 2011 to name a few.
Rovers dont have billionaire American or Arab businessmen to prop them up and rely on the support and generosity of the local community to stay afloat.
Tickets are 10 euro and any help is really appreciated in these recessionary times. If you would like one or know someone who does drop me a pm or get in touch with the club directly at 07191 71212.
cheers

If you give the club a ring they will should have some at the office, not sure about jako etc.
I volunteered to take a few books of tickets to sell for the club so i could sort you out if its convenient. Am in Sligo Town every day for work.

whislt on the subject of the rovers, some win last night, gutted i missed it, although the six goals i seen on tuesday night was also pretty special, must have given them a huge confidence boost.

I'd advise watching mns on monday. The first two goals stood out, brilliant goals.

For Forks Sake

Home tie vs Athlone Town in the next round of the cup

Mr.Crinklewood

Richie Winter is either inept or a cheat.

Was at the game tonight also. So frustrating, I think Rovers deserved to draw at least, the team put in a great effort when they went down to ten men.

Winters last game reffing Sligo was against us in the LC Semi-Final last year, another farce of a performance from him.

Pity you didn't beat Shams tonight, Sligo is a very hard place to go and get a win!

great game against galway last night, 3-0. shame though about Ventre and Gerry being sent off. Looking forward to UCD on tuesday

Stevedore

UCD tonight 7.45 vital to get the 3 points for the push for Europe

Anyone up in the Showgrounds tonight, best evening out in ages. Rovers wiped the floor with shams, 20seconds to get an equaliser after Twiggs fluke. Two great finishes from Amond, we could really have got a few more.

Mint Sauce

Absoluty delighted, was bouncing at the end

role on the final

if only bray got a result against bohs tonight, even a draw, would have capped it off perfectly

bennyc

Total football from Rovers, quote from Con on MNS "are rovers barca in disguise" then to get a serious face from the pundits and "yes they are, Rovers are playing a style the loi are just not used to ".
Richie Ryan has improved something else since he arrived has to be the best in the league at CM and Boco is just top class. If we had a better start to the season when we were thumping teams around the pitch but unable to buy a goal we woud be top.

25th sept, the showgrounds or monaghan depending on the draw i think.

Might be a neutral venue, Longford ?

Was getting updates from friends at the match last night, gutted I missed such a brilliant match, but absolutely delighted for Rovers! Will be interesting to see how the league pans out now too, with Bohs in their spot of bother...gwan the bit o'red:D

EuskalHerria

What a night and a brilliant match. Scoring instantly after their "goal" was brilliant, both stands went crazy. Was a great atmosphere all game and even the main stand got going aswell. Looking forward to the final now.

Also after the second goal this banner was unveiled, absolute quality from Forza Rovers.

Clas banner in the picture above.

They really are playing great football this season. European place is looking very good at the moment. Almond has to be the signing of the season. He is banging them in.

Roll on the final!

Ten matches left and 6 points behind , although Shams have a game in hand, if we win this weekend and next week then that would really shake things up(Pats and Shams). Shame both games are away. Looking at the fixtures we have a break second last weekend of the season with Pats at home for the final match. I reckon that will be a massive game with a full house and at least Europe to play for.

that was a fantasic moment, the whole of the new stand went nuts when they seen that, quality effort from the forzas, kudos to ya's.

well we got the right result friday night against finn harps in the FAI cup, but certainly did not make it easy on our selves.

terrible conditions but great support for the bit o red, the forzas made some noise, and really tested 'the shed' foundations.

great buzz back in mooneys for the afterparty.

roll on the quarter final draw tomorrow night.

redarmyblues

I heard the LC final is in the Showgrounds on the 25th at 5:30.

Well that was a bit tense last night, 4 nil up, 15 minutes to go, and then conseeded three goals. Up to 4th but that little added goal difference would have been nice
