Sligo Rovers supporters all over the county will have a chance to welcome the newly crowned FAI Cup winners home tomorrow, as the club announced details of their homecoming itinerary. The Team Bus will leave Dublin Monday morning and will make brief stops in towns and villages on the route home and expect to arrive in the Showgrounds around 9.00pm.
This time is very much an estimate, and people wishing to welcome the team home, in Sligo and on planned stops along the route, are asked to stay in touch throughout the day for the up to date position on the team’s progress home. Updates will be broadcast at regular intervals on Monday on Ocean FM and will also be posted on the Sligo Rovers and Sligo Today websites.
The day’s schedule is as follows:
1.00pm Carrick on Shannon
3.15pm Boyle
4.15pm Gurteen
5.00pm Tubbercurry
6.00pm Ballymote
6.45pm Riverstown
7.30pm Collooney
9.00pm Showgrounds
Celebration in Fiddlers Creek due to get underway at 11.00pm
While the team bus will adhere as closely as possible to the time-table, delays can occur and supporters should stay informed throughout the day to keep up to date on progress. The last ‘leg’ of the journey will be the Showgrounds, where a special stage will be erected facing on to the car-park, which will allow supporters welcome Paul Cook and his team home with the Cup.
