I predict the showgrounds will be put up for sale

[sligoman]

Fcuk off,inter firms thead was put in rubbish

[forza rovers]

Feo, I picked 15 'cause that's the clubs current cut-off point for kids.its 12

[Red&White Rover]

I'm not suggesting that at all. What I'm suggesting is that U-15's get free season tickets or for a stupid nominal free like a tenner.


Sorry but what? How can somebody possibly think of an idea to give complimentary free season tickets to U-15's, when we're up sh*t creek financially?

I mean, what?!

there are alot of people from about the age of 13-16 coming to the showgrounds now. im sure many of you seen it last night there was alot of youngsters in the ground, all of them may not have an intrerest in the game but its good to see so many of them coming in, and its more money too

[Redkenrover]

Have been bringing my now three and a half year old to the showgrounds last season and for about half the previous one, and normally pay €5 for him. I see this €5 as a small contribution to the club. Having been involved in youths teams for a number of years, most 13 year olds would have €20 going to the chipper after matches. Any trip to the cinema or a swimming pool will cost money so I'm not sure I would agree with letting them into the Showgrounds for nothing.

Which IMO makes Brewers idea, even more non-sensical.

[SligoBrewer]

How many of those kids who were running around the place were supervised?

If a child is accompanied by a paying adult, let them in.
If a child isn't, let them stump up €5.

It would hopefully be subsidised by more paying adults and more food bought in the Showgrounds etc.

So what happened to your season tickets in that case? Bit harsh making a kid who may have parents with no interest in Rovers have to pay a fier.

I don't care less if their supervised or not. It's all money at the end of the day. Let them run riot after they've paid in.

Well they cant be the way there were on Friday,throwing stones,pulling at flags etc.

[avvenalaf]

Not wishing to sound like Uncle Albert (during the war) but there was a time when there would be a rake of youngsters outside League of Ireland grounds pleading with adults 'hey, Mister, bring us in', children being free with adults at the time.

[sligoman]

Let them run riot after they've paid in.Now that's just as "non-sensical" as Brewer's idea.

I hardly mean to literally "run riot". That's where the good, yellow-coated people like yourself come in SM;)
