    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. :eek:) 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.

    I think its going to be a very good season for the Rovers. The Cookie monster has assembled a good squad of players. So now we have a good manager and a good squad, we just need to do our bit as supporters of the bit o' red and get behind the team by going through the turnstyles in big numbers every week.

    There's nothing like a good atmoshphere at a packed Showgrounds!

    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!

    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! :)
