Good ol' marinobohs
Can't leave a good Sligo bashing thread alone without bringing Rovers into it
Can we have a death pool-like sweepstake on Sligo yet?
When this was done last year it didn't get a reaction here. Thanks for restoring fate in this great site Shams
This is the greatest fundraiser ever!!
"Give us a hundred quid"
"what for?"
"Just give us it"
"Ok"
If they can get away with that they're to be lauded not slagged off!!
Just when you think our clubs are turning a corner.....this is going to upset players and staff more than anything, it's not as bad as bucket collections, but it's not far off. But if they can get away with it, why not.
Jim Magilton bought that table off us.Quote:

Ashing fans to stump up €100 for nothing in return...I think you will be.Quote:

Pats did the same last year on their forum. If your willing to do it on the forum of your particular club, go right ahead. here. Keep up the good work make sure as many as possible get the message. However, I do get a hint of surprise from one or two here about the whole thing, Sligo Rovers have been doing this, pretty much, since 1928; it's how we run our club. Thanks again for all your promotional work.
True,here is the promo poster picture from 1948:Quote:

Class. Took nearly two pages for ye to bite lads.
Well done.
Why ye feel the need to come on here to defend something that ye seem to think is perfectly normal is beyond me.
So, I guess Sligo won't be building that new stand any time soon, then.
Ian Barraclough is tapdancing on O'Connell street until all the funds are raised. They are also running a sh*t or steal fundraiser with the local bus company!Quote:

Sligo Rovers are continuing to request the club’s annual donation from members and supporters following the correspondence from the management committee last week.
This sort of thing happens at every ambitious club, just most of the time it's not put out to the public, just to shareholders/400/500 club members/season ticket holders etc.
it really doesn't, but if telling yourself that helps you sleep easy at night...Quote:

Seeing as how we do this every year and I,m pretty sure we're still in business I'd imagine we'll be fine this year as well.
In any case we've never been in administration, seen our club fold and have to start again or had to sell our ground so I'm sure we must have been doing something right all these years
Anybody looking at our bench and the league table tonight will understand what this fundraising effort is about, what they will not understand is the complete morbid preoccupation that you Shams fans have with our finances for it passeth all understanding perhaps you could let us know as soon as you stop crying.
