You are more than welcome to take out membership of Shamrock Rovers. Membership costs €480 per annum and forms can be downloaded here -

I'd imagine that's as good an offer as you'll get from us. :D

Yep and if and when the delusional experiment that is the 400 club goes tits up in a few years when the money runs out your fans wont even get an offer like that from any club! Grow Up WAR and stop stirringQuote:

Small point, but nonetheless to clarify, the 400 club no longer exists, we are all now members of Shamrock Rovers FC and are as fully in control of our club as much as the bohs members are of theirs.Quote:

A lot depends on the success of the move to tallaght and this is far from certain. really ask yourself is Seery's hope that a club branded with the title of its home city would capture the imagination of said city or shels hoping that a move to drumcondra would set up a large fan base any more delusional than the hope that rovers have of setting up a huge fan base in tallaght. I really hope it works out for you out there and that your home games don't become a magnet for gurriers looking to cause trouble on a friday night. but these things are far from certain so i think certain rovers fans on here need to be mindfull of the situation that the club appears to be inQuote:

I'm enjoying Seery and co's misery immensely and I won't be apologising for that. Ever. I also won't be apologising for making fun at their expense. They should never have been allowed join the league in the first place and they certainly should bever have been allowed a licence this year.Quote:

I Agree in the long term dublin City was not a viable enterprise. I do however find it disconcerting that you dont feel even the least bit of empathy for the fans (few as they may be their loyalty to the club is unquestionable) considering that it could happen to any of us and very nearly did happen to your club. have you so short a memory that you cant remember what must have been a terrible feeling when it looked like rovers were going to the wallQuote:

Anyway, its not a NICE gesture, its an opportunistic move, nothing wrong with it either. Good thinking IMO.
I hope any Dublin City fans do the sensible thing and hand over their season tickets to their Bohs/Pats/Rovers supporting mates so we can give Ollie even less monye. PM me if you have one available
It's a very decent thing to do, although I'm not ready to go to a game for a while, I'm shattered. woke up this morning and felt sheite, grabbed my Dublin City shirt and wore it all day.
bleak, bleak time ahead but the Shels offer is a nice gesture.
Nice one Dodge :D
I'll take one for tomorrow. :)Quote:

Fair play to $h€£$ for being quick off the mark to officially release that statement, but I somehow think maynooth red may have been browsing through GypsyWeb from where he stumbled upon the idea :rolleyes:Quote:

As they get in for free there is no financial gain, although, yeah, we're in the hope they'll kepp coming!
