I went to my first Sligo Rovers game with my 2 year old and hubby. Great atmosphere and the wee man loved it - even getting into the shouting, singing and dancing.
I think we'll become avid fans!!
And they won!!

P.S Good luck with the rugby today........ may the best team win......

Glad ye enjoyed it. I hear their new african player is supposed to be great. I am hoping to get to see some of the competitive matches with my little one as well this season. (Cripes I havent been to a match since well before I left sligo and was a youngster meself. They used to have players called "bomber savage" and the like.

) To really get into the spirit ye'l have to teach yourselves and toddler the Sligo slang. Theres a whole thread about it so plenty of learning for ye.

Re the rugby, lets hope it a good one anyway.

I went to my first (and thusfar only) game last fall - it was pretty cool. Looking forward to seeing a few more games once Mr. Xiney (yeatscounty) has more time.
