I remember a few yrs ago Longford built a cage for us only to be told the game would not go ahead unless they took it down.My sister was with us 6months pregnant and was denied access to the stand when the rain came,not too fluffy down there either.Thankfully we wont have to make that trip too often in the future.
You consistently make Rovers fans look bad on this forum. You didn't even have a stadium until about 5 minutes ago, so stop belittling clubs worse off than yourselves.Quote:

I'd tend to agree with the Rovers fans up to a point here, they've an element who are no angels at times but we definitely didn't help matters by going over the top with security on numerous occasions. It didn't do anybody any good but also the Gardai were the ones who would have insisted on the dogs etc that wouldn't have been the club's call even if they did have to pay for it. There was a game where there was a metal barrier placed in front of their section and the FAI made the club move it before the game. It's all in the past now anyway so just leave it go. It's pointless arguing about it three or four years later on here. This thread's about the Real game I reckon we should just stick to talking about that.
I don't mean this to sound disrespectful but you support Longford. There does only be a handful of you at away games, it's an entirely different scenario when you go to away games with a club that travels in large numbers e.g. there was 500 Rovers fans up in Drogheda last Tuesday night. It's ok to have 20 away fans walking around but it isn't realistic to have 500 away fans walking around the whole ground although there are a couple of exceptions in the LOI - Bray for example. Those grounds you mention in England - theres no way away fans are let mingle with home fans there and I'm sure you would have seen police on horseback around and riot police are always on standby. The fact you have never been asked as an away fan to stay behind after a game kind of proves my point about the difference between supporting Longford and supporting some of the bigger clubs in the league.Quote:

Hmm, you're the ones who start disgorging sexually explicit swearwords whenever you encounter my views. I would suggest that any tumescence is to be found within your own nether-regions (and I don't just mean Tallaght.)
You can't deny he doesn't have biased views though.Quote:

The world has moved on. He unfortunatley has yet to make that journey.
Wish him luck on his way, I say.

1200 extra tickets available tomorrow.

So €60 to sit amongst a building site - it's true what they say though - "If you build it - they will come"Quote:

Actually if you build it they'll come to see Rovers !!...1200 extra seats are already sold out.Quote:

Our cash flow is already fine...what the Madrid game and indeed the friendly with Newcastle (nearly 2,000 tickets already sold) does is provide us with an injection of funds which if used well during the July transfer window could have a major impact on where we finish in the league and cup this season, especially as most if not all of the teams around us most likely will be realeasing players .. so to say 'nada' IMO is very premature.Quote:

So basically Platinum One are getting all the money. Rovers are making tupence? Shams are gaining more from the publicity so.
One question: Are the temporary stands put in are being paid for by Platinum One, Does that mean they'll be taken down straight away, or left up like Pats one?
So the Newcastle game will actually be more profitable to the club than this Madrid match.
Platinum One are receiving the money from the ticket sales, which they'll use to pay Madrid, cost of temp stands, rent to SDCC, and a fee to Rovers...which is a lot more than 'tupence'.... I actually find it bizarre as to how you could extrapolate from limited knowledge and then state as a fact that Rovers " are gaining more from the publicity so" or that we'll earn more from the Newcastle game.Quote:

Pats one was designed to be that way. it wasn't just put up and then left. it was put up to lastQuote:

i doubt there will be much of an impact from the game in fairness, ya its great and everything and i hope rovers make all the money they can out of it but in reality the majority of people are going to see madrid. once there gone so will the other seven odd thousand. but it seems good what rovers are creating in tallaght, hope they keep it up.
