I heard about it before but it's in the Irish Mail on Sunday today. Noel Mooney is helping Sligo promote their next home game against Bray to see what happens. The FAI will be going the whole hog with advertisement saturation in the locality to see if a random run of the mill fixture like Sligo v Bray can draw a crowd with full effort. Given that the fixture coincides with some great results for Sligo it'll be interesting to see how this goes.
Would of expected a least 2000 for this one, so we will see what Mooney can get on top of that.
Isn't the reason he's coming in the first place that your attendances were well below expectations? Have they bounced back since?
Rovers on a good run and the standard of football has increased the attendances recently. Still compared to Rovers last stint in the Premier the crowds are very poor especially when the team is doing so well. The changing of the Winter season to Summer hasnt done any favours.
Posters in town about the bray game already. i think 3000 could be the attendance saturday. Blue stand needs to be rocking before the game
Down early for it Rory?Quote:

you know when theres coloured sheets/flyers left on every seat before them game....and then when the teams are coming out for the kick off, evrryone raisies them about their head to make a big sea of colour.
According to the posters around town theirs gonna be fire eaters, stilt walkers, raffle for Ireland/Germany tickets and face painting on Saturday.
Whats Mooneys ideas for Saturday? Seen a few posters around town in a couple of pubs tonight. Hughes was the centre piece in the poster. He caught the ball and hoofed it over the bar from 40 metres in the Rovers away shirt. Was talking to a few people about this and they were wondering why, he didnt start for the Gaelic side on Saturday?
Poster in Left Bank, 4 lights and a big one outside the Ark.
where would the stilt walkers go? they'd be falling all over the place becuase theres no level ground, all stones and stuff. could be funny to watch though
Outside the ground maybe, trying to attract people in?Quote:
