Sligo Rovers are calling on all local business in Sligo and the surrounding
counties to show their colours ahead of the club’s upcoming FAI Ford Cup
semi-final against Waterford United on Friday October 23rd in the
Showgrounds. The club wants to see the county painted red and white and are
encouraging local shops and businesses to proudly display the club’s
colours. Flags can be got through the club and the club is hoping that
there will be a large response to their call. This game is without question
going to be the highlight of the Sligo sporting calendar and it has
captured the imagination of the Sligo public with the game fast approaching
a sell out. For further information or to get a Sligo Rovers flag for your
premise please contact Sligo Rovers Club Promotions Officers Keith O’Dwyer
on 086-8235780 or 071-9171212.

Get out of that, although usually this sort of thing is kept for the final, to be fair the town was covered in red and white flags and bunting in 94 in memory serves me right, it's a tradition around the town although usually kept for the cup finals though. Corporation look after the streets, shops look after their own stores, people look after their own houses and cars etc. Deffo getting a flag to hang out the bedroom window, it will be handy too for getting some fresh air into the love pit !!! :p

How are the tickets going for this does anybody know, can imagine there will be a big run on them just before the match if it is like the Derry match from a few years ago. How many do Waterford get? I think they will do well to bring a couple of hundred. as they seem to be only getting small crowds.

Same question again, how are tickets selling? I might be able to get down on the day but unfortunately don't have anyone to buy me a ticket in advance. :(
No point heading down if I won't be able to get in.

Rovers, and I'd guess any LOI club, don't refuse money at the gate.

Shamrock Rovers often do.:p

That will stop once the bandwagon has finished rolling.

Even on the opening night, some people with no tickets got in at the gate.

I heard they only asked for 150 tickets for the match, that seems very low?

I think anyone going along on friday night without a ticket will be taking a big chance. If all tickets are sold out then very unlikely you would get in by paying on the gate. Best thing would be to ring the club - 0719171212

Think this is a great idea.
But maybe the club should approach businesses rather than waiting for them to come forward, turn it into a good will gesture.

Most business in town are fighting for their lives at the moment due to being in the middle of a reccession and the devaluation of sterling. They have bigger things on their minds rather than a few flags,( I dont mean for this to sound smart) but if they were approached Im sure 95% would be more than happy to assist. If the public see the flags up around the place it can only help the attendance figure on Friday night

Spot on totally agree 1928, The club need to be pro-active in this, it would be class to see this week if something like this could be done as reaching a national final is a huge thing for any Sligo team in any sport.It's can be difficult for shops and businesses to source these things themselves, easier for the club to organise the flags and bunting. They could do a much bigger job around the town if we reach the final.

Dont know whether that 283 is the paid in figure, but it usually is.

I'd say if we brought 250, we'd be doing well though.

1st time post

Just had an advance look at the weather forecast and altho not too detailed looks like there will be patchy showers, might have an effect on attendance but hopefully it will be clear enough and the wind appears to be calmer than any of the other days this week..........In sayin that it was met eireann:rolleyes:

Agree , really looking forward to this now , walked down talbot street in the rain to get the champion and the special supplement got back opened the paper and it was missing raging , on a lighter note interesting to see the Model getting 2.4m and ballymote copshop getting 3.8m imagine what we could do with just 1m in the showgrounds which surely must be of greater public significance and benefit that the model.

Great idea but from looking around the town you would be none the wiser that this game is coming up apart from the signs on the roads leading into the town.

What's the name of the pub near the Showgrounds? Mooneys? Looking forward to a session in Sligo whatever the result of the match. Not at all confident. We're in shocking form, we've to play a kid in goal and will have SFA on the bench. That said, stranger things have happened. That penalty shoot-out two years ago is still fresh in my memory. Couldn't believe Robbie Hedderman of all people scored the winner.

Fair play to the Belfry they have a good luck Sligo Rovers sign up, it would be nice to see a few more. I had to buy an extra one today in Barton Smiths and the girl said they have sole a load which is good to hear.
