Everyone connected with the club is going to have to up their game. That means for those in Sligo to get along to the Showgrounds and encourage as many people as they can to accompany them. For those of us who can't get to games it means throwing in whatever few bob we can afford. For the manager (who, incidentally, I think is doing a great job and I would love to see staying), it means, at least partially, not contributing to a sense of hopelessness.

I'd like to see the gaffer making some kind of statement to the effect that he's determined to do his best to help the club survive this crisis, or if he is leaving, not to make it seem like he's bailing out of a sinking ship that's beyond help.

I got a call from Dermot Brannigan today, He said in the next week or two hes going to try and organise a few fundraisers I suggested to him which are very likely to happen if the organise it. One is the Locals and first team match, the other is similar to the legends match, The Sligo Rovers 1983 cup winners vs The Bohmians 1983 runner-ups.

Cook to stay till the end of the season but will go if there is no outside investment according to the Champion.

Some questions I would have for the club:

1. Will these syndicate cards be 'on sale' at the Harps game on Saturday?
2. Will there be a stand of some sort where people can sign up to the syndicate at the game? ie. will it be clearly visible
3. Will there be an announcement at the game explaining the dire financial straits that the club is in? (no time for pride, now)

If the answer to any of these questions is no, then I would have serious doubts that they can reach the 130K target.
