it is nice to see that sligo rovers are the third best supported team in the country. this does not say much for the dublin teams

its amazing with all this that not one league match was shown live last year home or away despite the fact that we finished fifth.
we dont want to be seen as whingers but even galway v athlone was shown last year on TG4.
i dont think a very good season is likely for rovers but no sign of us in this years tv plans either.
before anyone mentions the cup semi-final v derry last year they were obliged to show the match

i posted this on the main forum but i would like to get rovers fan views

Floodlights weren't up to tv standards.

what about away matches

Is there a nationwide market to watch Sligo Rovers? I didn't notice that.....

And the fact that the LOI's third highest average attendance is a measly 1,806 says more for the League than it does for your club..

I'm in a negative mood tonight. I hate waiting for seasons to start!!!

Top four I'd hope. Some good signings and one excellent lad on his way.

Beats signing coaches from American colleges as our key defenders and the like.....

See you next year in D1 anyway!! :)

or perhaps we aren't just throwing money blindly at our team, rather we are developing good young footballers?

Not everybody can be high-flyers all the time. So I hope you aren't too arrogant up there in the North West.

Perhaps Siempre is right about you! I doubt it though :p

Philly Make sure to tell those lilly white boys you cant take the ball of the ground and you get nothing for over the bar.....
