Shamrock Rovers Vs. Sunderland

[fergalr]

to the rovers fans posting here... the cheek of any of you giving out about how any club is funded when you are currently on the end of a €10m hand out for your new stadium
Bizarre comment since the fans-run Rovers are one of the few clubs in the league who are managing their finances prudently.


its municiple value will be minimal other than for rovers use
Nonsense. Having a top LOI club in situ will be of huge benefit to Tallaght and the greater SDCC region.


If some of the knobs that Quinn got to invest in Sunderland had invested in actual Irish Football, maybe they wouldn't need a municipal stadium.
Nail's head subjected to extreme and righteous force.

i dont deny for a second that its the right thing for a local authority to be doing. people will take money from anywhere to better their clubs. SDCC dont need a stadium though, rovers do. its municiple value will be minimal other than for rovers use

Nonsense. It's the right thing for the LA to be doing, but yet of minimal value? :confused:

the crowds aren't going to get any better until people like you start going to the games and the money to improve the facilities won't be there until people like you get off their barstools and come to the games

id say its 5 yrs since i watched a gme from a bar stool... far rather actually participate in sport myself

easy when you get a €10m new stadium built for you

They've been doing it while paying rent in Tolka all this time. The stadium being built is irrelevant. I'm sure SDCC would be open to another league club using it too if they so wished.

Any Rovers fans know if the game will be going ahead tomorrow? Because of the weather

Rovers will be paying rent in that stadium same as any other team using it.

I wish. :rolleyes:.

We're going to be anchor tenants. The crucial clue to how much ownership that confers to Rovers is in the second word of the phrase.

Still on.

[A face]

Did this game go ahead? What was the score?

No. As mentioned in the thread, Richmond Road flooded on the day and called off by the Gardaí.
