An Post Promotion

[Lamper.sffc]

Did I mention that you won't exist in 5 years?

I thought it was 5 years two years ago. Surely we will be gone in 3 now or are you a little bit more optimistic about our club now. Thank you. No really, from the bottom of my heart thank you.

[OneForTheFuture]

Did I mention we are in the FAI cup final :D


Erm....



:)

[The Lep]

St Moctas, Mountview, Verona, Huntstown Villa, Corduff, Clonee Utd.......

It's certainly not Shels, Bohs, Pats, Fingal, Derry or Glaway utd...


Clonee play in meath.

Well done on posting local footy teams, now post a name of a league team .

Not Fingal? are you just wumming ?

[The Lep]

Apart from you Cup exploits, whats sligo rovers fc doing in your community?

[LeixlipRed]

Santry is only 10 minutes , lusk 20 so . Why arnt you supporting Kildare County? Not big enough club for you or newbridge is to far away for you?

Ah now who's being the fool? You infer from my username something that isn't even true :)

Also, Drumcondra is far, far closer to Leixlip than Newbridge but that's elementary considering my inner city roots :)

Wrong. A D15 team playing in D15.

I do not peddle or am I a merchant of "wind-ups" ffs.

Maybe Skerries/Lusk are represented by Fingal?? In reality.

And they are D15 teams who now, in return for free tickets to Fingal games, get to be associated with the Sporting Fingal youth system......
Handy that!

In fairness to Sligo Rovers now they've been an important part of the community in sligo right back to when jesus played full back for bethlehem united;)

Its one of the few towns in Ireland where the football club would come before the GAA team with most people. The sligo lads i speak to have tell me that anyway. Sligo is a football town and Sligo rovers have brought leagues, cups and european football to the town throughout their history and without having majour investment. This cup final will have that whole community over there talking. They've a great cup tradition. They'l bring a huge support to tallaght.

In all fairness, Sligo gaa arnt exactly up there with kerry now :D
My point being apart of the league, cup,euro exploits .what have sligo rovers done for the community like projects, education etc?

And no, this isnt going to go like the monty python sketch : " what have the romans ever done for us " :)

[The Lep]

yeah the team more or less pickled itself every week.very solid outfit:D


Drink a bit did they? :)

[RoversHead]

I have nothing to say about the an post promotion but I have to say I like what Sporting Fingal are trying to build on the northside .The whole thing is still very much in the early stages but I wish them and their fans the best of luck.Can anyone on here barr me of course say that their club will definitly be around in the next five years?

[CSFShels]

They're a football club not the Good Samaritans. Clubs should be doing whatever possible to get fans in, but that doesn't mean they have to go as far as having special olympics football teams and all that. Not that I have anything against Fingal doing that, its admirable. But its hardly the sort of thing where you can be saying 'why aren't you doing that?'

[The Lep]

Thats not the reason i mentioned it.

[Larry 'da' Wyse]

In case it is of interest the vouchers not valid for Bohs and Sligo on Friday night

[CSFShels]

Thats not the reason i mentioned it.
What was the reason then?

[The Lep]

There is no point telling you cos i will only have to tell you again or repeat it to the next shels head that asks. Read back through the thread instead.

Have read through the whole thread now, no mention of it. Can you explain please?

[The Lep]

You just proved my post right :)

[CSFShels]

Haha cringe.

:eek: Are you for real?

Clubs should be doing that and more if possible. I suppose we shouldnt be doing the wheelchair football either. Jesus dude what is wrong with you? I know you hate us but you take it too far sometimes. We are a community club hence why we are trying to do these things. Its all about improving fingal. This isnt done just to get bums on seats. Our club is one part of the overall idea. Sporting fingal is bigger than just the team.

They are bigger than shels as well :) We will be in our new cosy stadium when they will be ground hoping for the next 20 years or until they fold :)

Més Que Un Club has a better ring to it. :p

You wish.Glebe north are bigger than you lot never mind shels. you'l be back in your cosy armchair if that ground dose'nt get built soon;) Shels are 114 years old Mr lep!! 2 world wars, a civil war and 2 cup final defeats by rovers later and we're still here.!! we won't fold....i hope;)

Any sign of a new ground then?

[Acornvilla]

He nailed them home when he was up there alright.

I would hope we'll be in tolka next season and after that its anybodys guess. If ossie kilkenny could rent it back to us over the next few years it'd be ideal as i can't see anything being built on it in the current climate right now. The club is'nt saying anything on the subject at the moment. dalymount has being mentioned but i think going in there as permenant tennants would be very harmful to us in the long term.

We'll have to rent wherever we go but if we're gonng rent donnybrook stadium or the rds would be perfect for us as the clubs roots are nearby in the irishtown/ringsend area. Once we got back in the community out there who knows what could happen in the future but at the moment we're just dossing at tolka park.footballing limbo;)

Funston is much better than Collins.

Sorry.
