Heard there will be an allocation of 150 (5% ground capacity) tickets for the Shams game

Any idea how the tickets are going to be distributed among the rovers fans? Hopefully the event junkies won't get their hands on any.

No idea.Personally i would love to get one but would like to see the lads who travelled all over the country last season get them first.

If up to me I'd set aside 50 for Forza, they will bring colour and noise to the game, which will be televised, and with all their flags 50 would look more like 100.It would be good promotion for the club if they were there.

After that simply a lottery, get in line and put your name down at Saturdays game.Its the fairest way.You have to go to the showgrounds to be in with a chance for a ticket.
Draw them out at the game, announce winners and call to office after to confirm.

If seen to be unfair with the distribution of tickets it may have longer consequences on the season for us.If fans think they were not given a fair chance.....well you can guess the rest.

be seen to be fair and it will onlky benefit the club.....

Thats my tuoence worth anyway

Agree with Alan about forza. Important to get as many of them in as possible.
A lot of people are going to be disappointed. I'm going to try to get my hands on a couple up here in case no luck in the draw at the weekend. :(

An open draw is fair to everyone interested in going but it will be interesting to see what the club do with the tickets.

The last thing you want is tickets going to the two matches a season brigade like the cup game and Bray at home last season.

Again it is up to the club to do the right thing..........

to be honest, at the end of the day, the season ticket holders should get priority no matter what. I just hope to god the club dont give them to the suits and their friends. Would be disgusting if we went to Tallaght with no proper support.

Around how many tickets will Rovers get

2,850. :p

Obviously we would like to make more tickets available for away fans, but I'm sure you understand that we are left with little option but to limit it this time.

With the game on Friday night and on tv, it's doubtful whether Sligo fans would travel down in numbers anyway. The game in July should see a bigger capacity and a Saturday night ko should see a chance for increased away support.

There are 3 other supporters groups, Forza Rovers, North Sligo and South Sligo. How come they are not been allocated a few tickets? Seems a bit unfair.

They didn't contact the club in time I would imagine. FR were going to ask for a small allocation of the tickets but the announcement was made and it would probably be unfair now to ask.

I dont see it as been unfair. Ask for your allocation an ask why you were excluded in the first place.

It's not that FR or any other supporters groups were excluded, it was more that other groups obviously contacted the club and were given an allocation. We along with other groups clearly did not contact the club in time and it would be slightly unfair for the club to renege tickets they have now said will be on sale.

If you want a ticket bad enough you'll be there at 4 like the rest of us:D

Pity they didn't include a ticket for the other Shams away match aswell and sell them as a package as this would sort out a lot of the event junkies , rarely see more than 150 at a Dublin game apart from the cup matchs . Maybe the club could auction a few tickets as well to the highest bidders would bring in a few quid as well.

Lets not start flinging arrows at our source of information before the season starts, we all know what we have to do to be in Tallagh on the night. Most important thing from now until the end of the season is to give our 100% support to the real Rovers and slag the opposition as much as you can.

Any news if the BORST or others are thinking of organising a Hotel or Pub get together for fans who cant get to Dublin, say Eur 10 a person to get in enjoy the match, bit of banter and bit of grub??

Would there be enough interest given so many seem to want to go.

Next best thing to being there and possibly raise a few quid!!!!

It may be worth a try getting to the ground early if you dont have a ticket and see if there is any around....from my experience of these sort of fixtures..."where there is a will there is a way!"

Bundle will apply to next two games too ... Pats and Cork, so Pats fans who want to get in better get your sleeping bags out for a night on Emmet Rd to get one of the 150 tickets Pats will be allocated.
