Simple as that.

It's common to have games sold out. Greed took them to Dublin!

It might be common to have games sold out but when about half of the people wishing to attend can fit into a stadium, moving it to a stadium that can hold the expected crowd is nothing more than logic and avoid thousands not going is nothing more than logic.


Turn offs to what? A few people here despise the GAA, more people are fans. Thats the beauty of the el, eveyone has an opinion

That may well be true Dodge but it certainly isn't the perception I get from being a fairly regular reader. I wouldn't say it would put me off going to matches or that but it does annoy me hearing the sort of twisted nonsense some people come out with.

Anyway I didn't mean to pull the thread off topic, apologies.

>Simple explanation, two words: Thomas Davis.

I used to be never that bothered with the GAA one way or another.

However after years of the GAAs henchmen like Kenneddy and McCarthy holding up the Rovers and Eircom League footie taking off in Tallaght I now despise everything about them. Id never set foot in Croke Park or give them a penny as long as I live! Their greed and paranoia is beyond belief!

I used to support the Dublin gaelic footballers and hurlers (league games and all, unlike the vast majority of so-called great GAA fans who only go to big championship games), but since Dublin GAA tried to screw Shamrock Rovers I have withdrawn my support and replaced it with contempt.

Couldnt you argue the exact same for the GAA, some fans of which are also eL supporters? Is that the beauty of the GAA?

[Dodge]

YOU could, I couldn't ;)

No real problems with GAA fans myself. Just the top brass, and some of the media

Have Dublin GAA or the GAA itself backed Thomas Davis?

see pat the prat given sligo great advice (in the star) to"get out into the communityand sell yourself " well fcuk me nobody would ever think of that , what a leg end

You'd think that advice was so obvious that it's already been done. Sligo Rovers do nothing to get out into the community at all. They did/do a few soccer camps but they dont endear themselves to any part of the Sligo community. The ground is located amid thousands of family houses in a mile radius yet they havent tried to entice people across the road to come out. So they should actually take dolans advice.


If Sligwegians aren't being encouraged through the turnstiles, then someone isn't doing their job properly.

The only encouragement is the usual spiel in the champion saying if supporters want a club they should turn up. The MC is voluntary so to say someone isnt doing their job properly would be unfair. More like not fulfulling their role to their full capacity

PS - Excuse me if this post is on topic ;)

PS - Excuse me if this post is on topic ;)It didn't use the word Sligwegian so I don't think it was on topic. :)

No but it should be.

[gustavo]

I thought all Premier Div CPO's were full time

Except the Rovers one, not sure she exists at all.

Not in an official manner but ex President Seán Kelly has. Don't agree with what Thomas Davis are doing but its still worth a laugh;)

As has ex-President Peter Quinn
(He wasn't so keen on gaa being played on a 'soccer' pitch when he blocked the Dublin v Down charity game at the RDS)

[Schumi]

Except the Rovers one, not sure she exists at all.I thought they had to be, because the FAI were funding them.

[Dodge]

Think he's having a dig at how useful she is...
