Hoops down and out

[Maynard]

NY Hoop, you may still be feeling the effects from numbing the pain, but what the outgoing chairman of the Supporters Club (nothing funny there) said was that he'd like to thank the people who have helped him over the past two years going on to list members of the SC, the chairman of the club, Toccy O'Connor and John Gill.

I hope your delusions keep you warm at night.

[WeAreRovers]

Once upon a time I cared enough to write a letter to SDCC supporting your application for planning permission. Not now though.

Well it obviously just arrived as they've finally approved it. Cheers!

The Tallaght Community Stadium is going ahead and shamrocks v Kildare County will fit in nicely between the U11s camogie trials and the local schools' sports day.

Watching rover being relegated on Friday night was one of the funniest things that I ever witnessed. A brilliant Night. I hope that we never have to see them in the PREMIER division again. Next year will prove once and for all that not having them in the top division is be a good thing. The news about them having to share with the GAA and anyone else who wants to play in the ground in Tallaght just tops it all off.. Think I might set up a monster truck club in Tallaght and apply to use the pitch..

Nice try. Anchor tenants, minimum 40 games a year, our own club house/bar and offices, 50% of all commerical revenues. I'll take that after 20 odd years of renting crumbling edifices like the stadium formerly known as the home of Irish football. And the timing of our moving in neatly coincides with our (hoped for) swift return to the top flight.

ill accept that we are wide open for dogs abuse after losing to CHF, but taking the **** out of us because we are getting a municipal stadium built for us wont wash.
if it works for AC Milan, Roma, Juve, Real Madrid, Barca etc its ok for me. Internationally very few clubs actually own their own stadia, and not as many as you would think (shels, cork, waterford, kildare etc) do in ireland.

as for the GAA angle, they were refused planning permission for their own stadium and were being arkward for the sake of it. will SDCC redesign the ground and purchase more land to accomodate them? answers on a postcard.... and it is hardly a bad thing that youth and local football get to play there. corkies dont seem to mind

[Philo]

And you still believe promises at this stage? Now call me a cynic but I'll believe it when I see it. Remember: It doesn't matter who you vote for, the government always gets in.

[Derek]

On a sad night for Irish football there was however something to laugh at in CHF's programme. The chairman of the supporters club (stop laughing) had resigned and then incredibly went on to thank all of CHF's fans by name:D :D

With any luck this time next year our positions will be swapped.

And if you tune in to Garda Patrol tommorrow at six you will se most of the Rovers Fans get a mention.

In between Cork City took him on board

Is that true ... i never heard that ??

In the good old Bishopstown days his good friend Plonk O Donovan took him on board as Citys representative to the league.

[Strabane_Harp]

Even though harps went down as well i cant help but smile at the great homeless thugs getting relegated too

the beginning of the end thank christ...........lets all laugh at rovers :p

for once ronan seery has done us a favour

Surely more like the premiership without Nottingham Forest.... Oh wait....

No not even similar, how many league titles have Notts Forest and Leeds won??

Less between them than any of the teams I have mentioned.

So try again, but do a wee count first:eek:

I think he means they are big supported clubs who have brought home major titles but also who have also fallen from the top division and not on how much they have won. Forest are currently the worst positioned former european champions when it comes to the local leagues.

[NY Hoop]

ALL we generate is negative publicity? Oh dear. We played Weymouth earlier this season and handed over the gate receipts to them cos one of their players' daughters was dying. We provide dozens of underage teams in Tallght that benefit the kids there. We gave your club money when you were in trouble which was kindly reciprocated this summer.

Keep reading the herag. Stay in strabangladesh with those opinions.

Step 1 - Walk into Junction 15.

Step 2 - Find a Harps fan.

Step 3 - Ask him or her about Rovers.

Step 4 - Find out the history between the 2 clubs.

Step 5 - Find out who your friends are.

Step 6 - Realise your mistake.

See you next year.

[Jerry The Saint]

Ireland's 2 most succesful clubs (arguably) are now in the first. Others like Drums and all the great Cork sides are worse off. irish football just keeps chugging on.

There was a piece in the Indo yesterday stating that the top 5 clubs in the league in 1980 -

Limerick
Dundalk
Athlone
Shamrock
Finn

- will all be in the first division next season. Something for Cork, Derry and Shels to watch out for...

Well that's a shame. The mutual respect works both ways. We gave a dig out during your bad times (98 I think) and relations have always been great between the two clubs and the two sets of fans. You're welcome to your views, misguided as they are.

I know you are Strabanese but you should really learn how to spell before giving abuse. A Ha**s fan saying Rovers provide nothing to the league is the only thing I have laughed at in this thread.

[lofty9]

IMHO a much poorer league without rovers and their fans. I have met a number of them over the years and enjoyed the banter. Hopefully you can get the Tallaght thing back on track soon. If that can happen I can see a similar rise again like Derry's in the late 80's. Hope both Harps and Rovers come back next year.

Had you included Dalymount & it would have been far easier to 'spot the odd one out', as none of the list above will have parts of it sold off piece by piece to fund delusions of grandeur!

Oh come on DvB it was a ridiculous comparison
all the above stadiums while being municipal are all huge stadiums which are regularly sold out and/or used for major international/european matches/finals (except C.S. Tallaghfornia) whats wrong with selling a condemed terrace any way it's a lot better than selling a whole fcuking stadium and being nomadic for more than a decade

Just remind me of the score in Finn Harps first ever League of Ireland game and I'll give you a hint: it was against Rovers ? 1 (no), 2 (no) 3(no) 4(no) 5(no) 6(no) against Harps - keep going upwards.

Well you are wrong on one point Raptor, the Stde Del Alpi is rarely if ever sold out.

I see you've lost count. It was 10-2. Much like titles won around then, it has no bearing on the present.

[Roverstillidie]

cos bohs get how many in these days? :rolleyes:

the issue with Loyal Orange Phibsboro isnt that you sold the terrace rather than do something with it, its the bit of the pitch you threw into the deal too... sums up your ambition that the actual turf was for sale to fund day to day running of your club.

the fact that we have the same arrangement with local government as most of europes elite clubs amuses you really shows how petty gypos are. your situation of selling bits of your stadium to survive is better than ours of having a municipal stadium with the odd kiddies cup final? time for a reality check bohs

[Block G Raptor]

Talk About being mis-quoted
I said that to compare tallaght with the above ground's is a bit mad
on the sale of the shopping center end it's not great that they sold a couple of feet of grass but I find it a bit rich for rovers fans to be berating us for selling a bit of the ground when everyone knows what Louis Done to miltown
a bit of the pot calling the kettle ..........................

The thing is WE didnt sell of our stadium, a previous owner did, as Bohs pride themselves on being a members club the decision to sell off pieces of their ground little by little rests entirely with their members, does it not?

Hardly an acurate comparison to what befell our good selves nearly 20 years ago!

Jebus what are you talking about piece by piece we got a lot of money for a part of the ground that has been good for nothing but hanging flags on for years now the fact that we lose a couple of feet(which are behind the dead ball line anyway) from the longest pitch in the league is hardly selling off the stadium piece by piece if you think that we are going to sell any more of the ground you are clearly delusional

bit defensive arent we? are those bold hoops getting close to the bone?

get real, rather than try and do something positive with the former home of irish football, you let it crumble and then decided not to even bother trying to do something positive with it, but sell a chunk of the stadium and pitch to the developers.
are you 100% sure the pitch wont be smaller? hand on heart now!! where will the new mini-stand go?
and i think the connaught stand will be next to be honest. because you club is in a severe financial hole.

[Block G Raptor]

I have no defense for that it is a shame that dalymount isn't a 35,0000 all seater bowl shaped stadium but unfortuneately the clubs members didn't have the vision to spend millions in acheiving this as quite clearly if we had of done we would be selling it out every week:rolleyes:


the only reason rovers moan about the connaght st side is because you are the only fans in the league who have to use it because you cant be trusted to share the jodi like your civilized counterparts from every other club in the country, at least now you wont be using it we can fix it up with out worrying that the money spent will be wasted when you wreck the place

I do fear you may be right about this. hopefully it will not come to that but if it does fcuk it id rather no connaght st to no Bohs

what is the capacity of the Jodi? 2,600?
what is the worst derby crowd we have seen in 10 years? 3,000?
the best? 12,000?

so if you can figure a way of putting us all in the Jodi id be intrigued. Its about numbers, not segregation. nice try with the red herring.

Now back to the subject in hand, how much smaller will your pitch be and when will the connaught turn into apartments.

If it was solely about numbers then you would have 950/1,100 fans in the jodi like cork and derry did this year
