If they get those ideas running along with say another Golf Day outing and a few tournaments that utilise the astro pitch as much as the can (i.e. tournaments bring entry fees and all that) they should have a few more quid in the bank.Quote:

I'll be looking to make an appearance at the poker tournie, hopefully texas holdem and not draw poker.
They should approach the casino and do it in style (fine casino), both the casino and rovers could stand to benefit. If the casino ran a benefit tournie it might draw more punters into the casino.
thats what i was thinking although im not sure who "they" is:pQuote:

Like the new one the hoops jersey is foul, You know what they say about hoops they add pounds, don't think it would have done Foy any favours.
You're right I don't know who will pick up these duties, certainly if I was back living I sligo and been a poker player i certainly would think about approaching the club to be able to setup an event or a series of poker events.
You could set up events in pubs around the town to qualify for an final event which could be held in a nice venue such as the casino. You could even give out season tickets as part of the prize fund which would generate more sales.
Funny that only a couple of people mentioned McT and nobody at all mentioned Flannery when they were repeatedly talking about bringing local players back (cue someone criticising Flannery). Mary McGowan said there are 5 local players on the books: Emlyn Mulligan was one of the ones mentioned,first of all is he local being from Leitrim? And secondly he won't be going full time to the best of my knowledge but will still play under 21. Though i'm not sure about that either as he plays gaa for the I.T. and will probably play with the Leitrim seniors too.
So what if he's from Leitrim, there are Rovers fans in Leitrim, McT is from Roscommon and he's still local...
so this meet was bsically to put forward fundraising ideas and vote on a new jersey ? did they ask for people to get involved in running the club or was it just the same help on matchdays request ?
dont know about anyone else opinion but why do we change jersey so much. other clubs might change jersey but dont deviate so much to a completely diferent jersey style. we must put out more jerseys than any other club !! and i'm not entirely sure it's benefiting the club all that much
gret idea on the poker if someone get's it organised. it must be the no 1 staying in activity at the moment. having a series of heat's and a final over a period of weeks in the casino would be great. i'd stay away from having heat's in pubs as u'll always get couple pubs who get left out and then getting miffed over it. plus the casino doesnt serve alcohol, which may entice a wider array of people.
did anyone ask why all this could not have been discussed at the AGM ? dont suppose anyone suggested having AGM or future meetings like this on a weekend ? did anyone ask why it was a restricted meeting ?
Sorry for all questions, just very hard to know what going on at the club when exiled !!
We've had our home jersey for 3 seasons
yeah i know dat. doesnt mean we have to change it. not that i mind it changing but so radically ? the last jersey was excellent. this one doesnt look great.Quote:

jaco can supply us with striped jersey, why would they stop making red and white candy striped jerseys??? The hooped one was offered as a possibility because no other club would have a problem with it. You tell me what colours the club had registered with the league. These are not my words they came from an ex-secretary of the club while in conversation. It was not explained to the whole attendance of the meeting. Your taking this little matter seriously, wha?Quote:
