Milltown - 20 years on, Rovers remember
It was 20 years ago today – the gates of Milltown closed forever, marking the passing of one of Ireland’s most iconic football landmarks. Shamrock Rovers supporters will gather at the site of their former home in Milltown this evening at 7pm to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the last competitive game at the famous Dublin stadium. All are welcome to attend.
Thursday marks the 20th anniversary of the Hoops’ FAI Cup semi-final 1-1 draw with Sligo Rovers. That match will be remembered for an emotional pitch invasion at half-time by supporters of both clubs angered at the prospect of losing the stadium, which had been the home of the Hoops since 1926. Supporters will gather at Glenmalure Park tomorrow evening at 7pm as part of the MILLTOWN20 series of events surrounding the anniversary.
