tulipandthistle

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......:)

I'm a lapsed supporter. Used to go to every home game. Then they stopped even trying and I was so disgusted i didn't go back. i didn't mind losing, but they weren't making an effort. that was back when Mike Small and Wes Charles were there. I've been loath to go back, because A. the fans hate sunshiner supporters, and B. I hate sunshine supporters. Some day I'll make the effort. Every person through the turnstiles is a help I suppose.
And by the way tulipandthistle, the best team did win the rugby. By quite a margin:D

No ones gonna go "hey there's that guy who has been here for two seasons! Lets get him!"

Surely I'd be a Judas if I supported Sligo? I've been to a few games though. Funnily enough, the coincided with the visits of the Bohs team! Well, good luck this season anyhow!

Not you, your fat manager.

So whats the crack with he bus? Do you have to be a part of the supporters club or something? Do you have to have your match ticket in advance to get on? Do they charge and how much? Wheres the pick up? Would they do fly bys to pick up closet fans in Leitrim!

to away games??no u just have to contact one of the lads involved in organising it,no ticket needed as they are sold at away grounds and no1 will have one at that stage either...bus leaves from the showgrounds and will pick up if its on the way...ya theres obviously a charge...pretty much 20 quid each time[most of the sides are round dublin]

Yep to aways! So 20 and then 15 roughly to the match. No season tickets here then?
How do you find out the lads that organise it..dont tell me...Mooneys! Think i have a few contacts...but if you know an official one that would be good too. Thanks a million btw Rossibaby.

Apparently the Jersey can be viewed but not bought in Jako and will be priced 49.99.
I personally am going to go for the white away one i think thats one of the best jerseys in the league without the yellow socks of course.

Just out of interest, how much of this goes to the club? Do they change them often? I haven't a clue about this type of thing, just curious. I think its a bit steep, when local kids are going to want them.

Its roughly the same for a Leitrim gaa jersey. (;)) Best get them big so theres plenty of growing room. They look seriously cute in them anyway. Think I am going to invest in a rovers one too! Thankfully at that age they are too young to question whether they are last seasons strip or whatever. It has been a racket in the English premiership for sure, Sueme. I would hope that Sligo Rovers would be a bit more grass roots. Where they a Co-operative in the past or something...?

Hey Tulipandthistle I am sure we could get a crowd for any Scotland/Holland matches... watching ye!

At the prices been flagged you would want to be getting the most out of those jerseys alright. (so the season ticket might be in order). Then you would have to give the jersey an outing to the away games. (with your friends on the bus) Suppose said jersey could also double up as a night shirt. Then it can be recycled into dusters the next season or on a pub wall with signatures on it....
Hey, Whats wrong with a hat and scarf anyway!*

Are you a shareholder by any chance?

tuppence

So tulipandthistle whats the order of play then. Is it Mooneys before the match, at half time, and then after the match? *;)

*not during unless Rovers really getting slaughtered.:(

guinnessdrinker

Me and one of my friends used to always go to Mooneys before the home matches which resulted in us never seeing a kick off as we always arrived in a few minutes late. Anyway I drive in now so I can't have a drink before the games.

The one and only Rovers game I went to*, we went to Mooneys for a drink beforehand, the craic was good so himself (at the time) went to the match and I stayed in the pub

Suppose could have been worse, you could have went in and commented on their legs or shouted for the opposition!

You kept a space in the bar, a useful role and has its advantages after the match.

Xiney

Mr Xiney and I will be there! Who are they playing again? :rolleyes: I'm not much of a football fan.

Fleece blanket and two travel mugs of hot tea ought to get us through though, bet it's going to be ridiculously cold.
