I think it's fantastic, and I've only been following them since my move here 6-7 years ago. Brillant buzz for the town.

I doubt those plans will go ahead - the planning has probably lapsed and with the new Railway End seating - it would probably be to large?

It should be jammers for last few games - what has been the biggest attendance in recent years - the semi-final v Waterford??

Not sure, but it was pretty close to capacity last night, barr some empty seats at either side of the Railway End Stand, and some in the away section.

As for the plans for the Shed End, I remember seeing drawings in one of the recent Europa League match day magazines, but could never see anything on line.

It would certainly be nice to see some kind of structure there, turn the place into a fortress, litterally. As long as the crowds continue to come though.

would be good to see the shed back in some form,spent some of my younger days in there

Get the tickets anyway & if you find you cant go, I say you would easliy sell it, can see the 2 games being sell outs.Its your own choice what u want to do tho

I reckon a further 7 points from the remaining 6 games would be enough to clinch it for us. We're on 53 points at present, with Drogs in 2nd place on 47 points and St Pats in 3rd with 45 points, but Drogs have played one more game than both of us.

If we get to 60 points (or more!), it'll be hard to catch us.

By the way, I'm led to believe that if we have the league already won before the final game (which is entirely possible), tradition dictates that the team we play in that last game should applaud us ON to the pitch. Imagine the thoughts of Shams applauding us on to the Showgrounds!!

That's a lovely thought and I'm a St.Pats fan!

Tonights results

Pats 5 - 0 UCD.

Well after that result, its two more matches before the League might be decided. Away to Cork this Friday, then Pats themselves on the 13th.

Drogs also beat Shels 2-1.

AllGunsBlazing

A fairly lacklustre performance in Cork but we still came away with a point. Now three of the biggest games in the club's history are upon us. Starting at home to St.Pats.

C'mon the bit o'red!

Son Of A Vidic

I'd say the draw against Cork was expected by most of us. But now that we have an under par performance out of the way. Hopefully Pats will bear the brunt of a maximum performance next Saturaday.

Just took a bit of a spin around Maugheraboy to get the Breakfast Roll, and whilst there is still a little over 5 hours to go to kick off, there is a bit of a buzz around the place.

There's the glimpses of the temporary stand where 'The Shed' use to be, parking restrictions are starting, 'Mooneys' is painted Red and White and has marque outside, Centra has loads of food on, and there's a few starting to appear with their Rovers tops on.

So any excuse to play this...

On the train on the way down, red and white in almost every carriage (although no doubts some are Pats!) I'm more nervous today than i was for any cup final, any penalty shootout....if things go our way today, it makes up for all the tough times over the decades, the days and nights spent stood in the lashing rain in crowds of less than 1000, the relegations, the losses, the so-near-yet-so-fars over the years.

I've followed this club for most of my life, in Ireland, from England, via phonecalls, texts, tweets and live streams. They've made me cry so many times over the years, both in sorrow and in joy, and yet today there's tears of pride in my eyes, thinking of 6000 heading to the showgrounds; such an amazing home ground to have. We're so close lads, so close...time for three.....
c'mon the bit o'red!!

I'm quite delicate this morning from last night celebratory festivities, well worth it though. What a match, no fingernails left from biting them for the last 15 minutes. Had to watch it on the telly when I went home to see the penalty and what the argy bargy in the last few minutes was about. Great game.

SRFC Sligo Rovers !!!!!

congrats on the league title, been a long time in the making but shows with the right foundations in place the long road back from the graveyard can end well. deserving winners and i include the margin of victory in that, well ahead of the rest this year. savour every moment of shams applauding you onto the field in 2 weeks time.

Then off to mooneys, fiddlers, and toffs for the party of all parties.

What a match, had it all didn't it? Well done Sligo Rovers & to all those involved from team, board to the volunteers & not only this season but for the past few years with all the hard work done to get us to this point.Was one of the high lights of my life being involved in that day yesterday

Everyone still celebrating?

Disappointed with the crowd outside the Town Hall, players deserved more people than that.

Mint Sauce

Disapointed with match, not a great performance, but thankfully all the hard work was done. Plus the behaviour of some Shams fans before and during the match.

Couldn't make it down, what were the numbers?

Son Of A Vidic

Was in London for a couple of days so I missed the last game in the Showgrounds. Sounds like Rovers were just going through the motions though. Not all surprised to hear about some Shams supporters causing trouble. As long as I can remember, they've always had a scum bag element associated with them.

Their fans provide an accurate reflection of the conceited and belligerent attitude which is endemic within shamrock rovers itself.

No offence to St.Pats (a very decent Dublin club with good fans), but I hope Derry win the cup and deprive that other shower of knuckle draggers of a european spot. Model club me arse!

Shams look to be on the verge of taking another player Quigley is ment to be having a medical,but i think this move was to be expected,Mark never setteled in sligo,
