I'm not sure you understand the history Rovers fans have with the gahliban too well. I'm about as likely to support a GAA game as do a whip round in work for Bohs Aid

Absolutely unreal, thank you Paul Cook and Padraig Amond for one of the best nights of me life.
Still buzzing after that game.
We are probably the best club that has ever existed, ever.

I always enjoy the games down in Sligo as they play some really nice football. The bit of luck we enjoyed down there the last time went for Sligo last night. If Monaghan get to play the final at home it wont be easy. Best of luck to the two teams.

Hey are you a Mons fan? :-D

I'll take the four points and a League Cup semi final defeat...are Sligo still in the real Cup?

I know Mons had the easier draw with getting Dundalk, but still, good to see them do the business..

Bummer, hard luck Dundalk.

**KUFCMan** · 18/08/2010, 6:41 PM

Does anybody know its a toss of a coin for home venue or when the venue is to be decided?

**hoopy** · 18/08/2010, 8:21 PM

Just wondering what Sligo fans thought the attendance was last night?

Apparently the "official attendance" was 1600 or so.
But that is just factually incorrect when you consider the main stand alone holds about 1800.
I would say the attendance was probably around 2500.

Cheers. Nothing to do with the game which Sligo deserved to win but not the first time we've played there and the 'official' attendance was lower than the actual attendance, in this case about 700-800 lower.

After ground-hopping, court cases, examinership, relegation, we just needed a man with a finger waving at us, to complete the set. We're all devastated.

Never mind though, during all those years we managed to find a proper banner.

I like the 'total event rental' sign above the banners, It's like youse were playing in the the SDCC Stadium

Pity that banner doesn't apply to the modern Shamrock Rovers.

A proper banner but not a proper trophy. Well done.

Good work the Mons - you seem to have a decent team together at the moment.

When is the final and the coin toss to decide on home advantage ? If it's one of those special 'behind closed door' coin tosses, I suspect it'll go to the Showgrounds to ensure a decent crowd.

Will that be the real attendance or the attendance given by Sligo?

We're all allowed to discuss each others' clubs. If all you have to contribute is "Bitter", "Jealous" or "Obsessed", then find another forum for it.

Crap moved to rubbish.
