[Rory H]

the last trip of the season is to cork :D:D:D

[sligoman]

We always get Bray last game of season too, at least this one's at home.

[redtildead]

At least we only have to go to cobh once.
Just like last season we could have month away from showgrounds 24 May - 21 June

[dublinred]

At least we only have to go to cobh once.
Just like last season we could have month away from showgrounds 24 May - 21 June

And we only get to play Cork twice :confused:

[redrov2005]

What's with the 8-00 kick offs for Rovers games ?

[feo123]

tough start, 3 good teams in the first 3 games, 2 are at home though thankfully.....
having cobh away only once is also a bonus, we'll have to make a weekend out of the cork game for the last trip ;)

[brianw82]

Anyone else notice that we're away to Harps twice?

[sligoman]

Anyone else notice that we're away to Harps twice?What's wrong with that? We play everyone three times.

[brianw82]

D'oh. Forgot about that!

[kkontour]

And we only get to play Cork twice :confused:

[tulip]

the world upside down!! more buses to a friendly then a normal away game? does anybody know why a lot of the away game are on fridays? very inconvinient for working people. i aleays need to take half a day off. there would be bigger crowds aswell when it was on a saturday or like in holland on sundays aswell. We have evening matches aswell but our country is a lot smaller so we are every where pretty quick, haha.

[Rovers1]

the world upside down!! more buses to a friendly then a normal away game? .

its the charm and sophistication of us South Sligo people! ;)

well im a bit away from the town but i wouldnt call myself a 'forieigner'!!! :p

[tulip]

well im a bit away from the town but i wouldnt call myself a 'forieigner'!!! :p
i'm a bit out of town too, but i do!!!

[redrov2005]

Is it just me or is three games very little to play before the start of a new season ? Let's face it the Coolaney game will not be a high tempo league game so you are really talking about two games before the season starts.

[forza rovers]

ya the finn harps game should be good but a waste of time playing collany

[sligoman]

Is it just me or is three games very little to play before the start of a new season ?Definitely not enough alright. I'm presuming they'll annouce one or two more, they should do anyway.

[redrov2005]

Did some checking with regards to other clubs and pre season friendlies.

Bohs who have already played a friendly against Monaghan have 6 more due including a home one against Burnley.

Shams have 8 in all and like Bohs they are going on warm weather training.

Harps have 6 including ourselves. Bray have 6, Derry 5 and Galway have 4.

I raise this as we have a lot of new players and its going to take time for them to get used to playing with each other. Surely now is the time for that rather than having the usual line at the start of the season about the lads getting to know each other and getting up to match sharpness.

Also, Just 1 home friendly:confused: ? Even if you played the Mayo league and only 200 showed up--Its still revenue for the club.

[Boo_Boy]

maybe we might be playing burnley when they come over?

the 2 would have been in contact over seamus coleman,surely they would have mentioned they are playing bohs and someone mentioned a friendly to them?

[Rovers1]

maybe we might be playing burnley when they come over?

i doubt it!:(

[forza rovers]

lads what do you think the starting team will be against pats i think we will have trouble at the back 4 with coleman,ventre and peers suppended
