According to Aertel, Rovers to play home game in Drogheda next season. Anyone else hear this?
I think they have agreed this just to get their liecence but will probably not end up playing there.
It would be funny though if they had to!!
that would be like city playing in waterford :eek: :eek: :eek:Quote:

Shamrock Rovers will play their home
games at United Park next year, after
Drogheda United agreed to a request for
the use of their ground for the season.
The deadline to inform the FAI of which
grounds will be used by clubs next
season is today, and after intensive
discussions, a deal has been struck by
Rovers and Drogheda.
Rovers have had financial troubles that
hindered the completion of their
proposed new stadium in Tallaght.
Drogheda chairman Vincent Hoey welcomed
the deal and said: 'This will ensure
that one of the domestic games greatest
names and traditions survives.'
Press release
Drogheda comes to Rovers’ rescue
Drogheda United has confirmed that Shamrock Rovers will use United Park in the 2005 season
Drogheda United FC, has this morning (17 December), agreed to a request from Shamrock Rovers FC for the use of United Park for Rovers’ home matches during the coming 2005 season.
As the licencing requirements covering the participation of Clubs dictate that all Clubs submit certain information to the FAI by today including which grounds will be used by Clubs, there has been intense negotiations between the Clubs. Those negotiations have culminated in Drogheda United giving written confirmation to Shamrock Rovers that United Park is available for their use in the coming season. This undertaking will allow Rovers to satisfy the relevant sections of their licencing application and copper-fastens their continued participation in the eircom League.
Drogheda Chairman, Vincent Hoey, said that in light of the setbacks encountered by Rovers in recent days in regard to their plans for a new stadium and in a spirit of sportmansship, Drogheda United is glad to be able to assist another Club in this way. “This will ensure that one of the domestic games greatest names and traditions survives”, he concluded.
Bohs have a board meeting on Monday and I reckon Bohs will let them in to Dalyer and thats where they will end up playing their home games.
The majority of both the Rovers and Drogs followers are of the same nature i.e a thugish, lower class element who are always eager to cause havoc no matter where they go. The fact that both sets of supporters will now share the same venue for home games makes O2 Park (the kip that it is) an ideal choice. As the saying goes; 'Kill two birds with the one stone!'
Drogheda supporters are "thugish"? Don't make me laugh, how could you take them seriously?!Quote:

So its now open season on the Drogs all of a sudden. Classic I love this country.
Even if its just to tide Rovers over until they get a Dublin club to agree to have them, well done Drogheda.
And certain Town posters would do well to remember that earlier this year Town offered to allow Rovers to use Flancare, when Pats and Shels wouldn't take them and The rich big club members voted against taking in €70000 for the season in rent...
Late entrant for Post of the Year. You are joking? Aren't you?.........Quote:

Great post Dillo. Couldnt agree with you more. Just like Rovers, Dwogheda attract that lower class element to their games. Some serious scum can be seen in 02 Park these days. As for Rovers supporters, I would like to use the term currently used in the United States to describe such people: "underclass". Many of them can hardly be described as working class as they dont work so they are effectively an underclass.Quote:

Im far from a scrooge. Im all for generosity. When Derry were in trouble a few years ago, I really wanted to see them survive and regain their role as a great club in this country. There is a difference. Derry supporters are more genuine than Rovers fans. They travel to games in large numbers, yet seem to cause little or no trouble. Derry dont seem to have that thuggish element that the Hoops have, and Dwogheda to a lesser extent.Quote:

firstly i hope you are only joking when you say 'the majority of rovers and drgogheda fans are thugs'.....because if its serious you should really think about what you said. your saying that out of say 1000 rovers and 100 drogheda fans you think over 500 are thugs...that would be some achievement. dont think millwall have that many...
secondly both you are pr*cks
oh, and its utd park by the way, not 02

- Next day: 'Jesus, the Section O lads were on fire last night, brilliant atmosphere, we're like a 12th man to the players'.
They should call it One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Park.
Well we know if ever there is ever a brawl in Flancare with Rovers fans and ours, we will have one standing unharmed...Macy!Quote:

In a bit of a role reversal im going to ask Rovers fans not to tar all LTFC fans with the same brush. I seem to recall ye don't like it..

Macy, I really feel for ye having to put up with so much drivel from your own supporters.
Some of the s_-_e on here said about drogheda supporters is bang out of order and a disgrace to be honest. Fair enough our ground is in a working class area but big deal, we can harly be called 'thugs'.
Anyway back to the point - Rovers will play in dublin next season but even if they do come to play their home matches in Drogheda they'll be very welcome.
There really are some d_-ks that post on here...................... (btw apologies for the strong language but the talk on here about drogs supporters is pure b_-_ox!! :mad:
Generalisations again..The 'D4 resident' Town fans are only aiming to wind people up and it looks like they're succeeding, I don't have a problem with Drogs supporters and most Town fans don't, any slagging ye get is normally light hearted enough, similarly ye calling us Bogford, as ye do, isn't going to cause us to complain to the Human Rights Commission for stripping us of our personal dignity. As the scousers would say 'Calm down, calm down la..'
Fair play to United for making United Park , DROGHEDA available to Shamrock Rovers. It is a rather unique way of part funding a full time professional set up but one that Shelbourne in the past have used to good effect.
Now all of youse outside the pale there is one less Dublin team in the league. Rovers are now officially in Leowth !!!!!! :D
Unibra Park Is Nowhere Near 'aa' License More Like 'dd'.
P.s. Unibra Park Aerial View= (-) (-)
Even members of the Nationalist Socialist Party are less deluded.Quote:

So, it's ahem... Drogheda as a provisional "home" base for next season, but there's probably more to their deal with Rovers for them, than ground, and rent.
Still, SRFC supporters clubs can celebrate, with 25-odd bus trips to make next season. Windfall!!!!!!!
Ha ha..
I have absolutely no problem with drogheda fans and I know most fans here are the same! The amount of new town posters are total wind ups and yez shouldnt fall for it!Quote:

On the note of rovers Fair play to Drogheda for giving their ground!

they are only speaking for themselves...end of story.
How can Rovers play in United Park when that place doesnt meet the old FAI requirements for the Premier Division, never mind the new licencing requirements.
Drogs are delighted to take Rovers in they get cash and are able to use Rovers as a bargining chip. If the FAI say no licence for Drogs then they are fcuking Rovers by proxy.
The sooner the jokers at Rovers give up and let people with a clue take over then the other bluffer clubs wont be able to get away with messing around either, then the league can advance beyond a pub league on a semi-national level.
Ssssssh Partizan will get offended, hes a communist type too :DQuote:

As posted by Seery on the DCFC website.
"Very sad to see Roddys Rovers having to wander up to Drogheda to play.Rumour has it they tried to shift THE VIKINGS out of Tolka PK.Hard luck Roddy you lost this one. 1.0 Dublin City.I hope you fill United Pk as easy as you said youd fill Tolka Pk. One good thing its a great road to Drogheda.Dont forget your toll money. UP THE DUBS."
:rolleyes:
A few things....
1) I hate Drogs
2) Section O do attempt an atmosphere, but there's only a few of us, and we don't go in for any of the poncey flag waving ultras stuff. That's very gay if you want my opinion on it. :D
3) Elements of the Town support does my head in more than any other clubs supporters.
4) There's a few of us in the LTFC insane sane branch, unfortunately we're getting lost online amongst the dicks.
