Rovers use the English Premiership to entice people to the Showgrounds.
On the front page of the Champion today is a report on a novel idea by the club. Three pairs of tickets for the upcoming Man Utd/Liverpool game in October are to be raffled off at the St Pats game on September 23rd. The tickets have been donated by the local United supporters club, only people who pay on the gate on the night will avail of this. Accommadation and flights are also included, in an idea to get more people through the turnstiles and also as a thank you gesture for the loyal Rovers supporters that turn up every second weekend.
rov v pats and ticket draw
this is a brilliant idea do yee have any idea what this costs fair play to man u supporters club and v. nally. he has already raised e 30,000 from golf classic this year for rovers.he should be richly applauded. in the last 4 years he has donated over e100,000 to sligo rovers. let nobody and i mean absolutely nobody be critical of this fund raiser. the cost of this is approx e 5,000. there is a huge campagne been run over the next few weeks to promote this. lets hope there is a hughe response. if we can keep the momentum going great things can begin to happen. our job here is to talk positive about this venture and spread the gospel. i want to hear no negativity. this month is of vital importance to the club we play bohs, cork, st pats and killester at home. look at the revenue flow here isnt it time the hard working voluntary committe menbers got a fininancial break. there are .s ome great people there. lets sing there praises for a change and with a little bit of luck along te way we could make the cup final. i just have agood feeling that sean is a lucky manager. keep the faith lads!
