    As I say a brilliant idea
    This is a better idea than the locals. it would also be good to see what rovers are like playing gaelic .

    Why would they accept this?

And with some of the money going to charity and some of it going to the GAA what will be left in the pot for us? And if they would parade the cup in the showgrounds last year why do you think they would play a game against us.

    Clubman please engage brain before applying fingers to keyboard

    A concert at the Showgrounds would be a massive money spinner imo. Have as many Sligo bands/singers as possible from Westlife to Dervish(). Also John Colleary, a Sligo comedian and any other acts interested.

    I know Longford Town are running one of these with country and western stars.

    Does Meat Loaf have relations in the Sligo area? We could bill it as 'The Welcome Home Meat Loaf' gig !

    imagine how many people you would get to go see westlife for 15 quid . The concert for save cancer service in sligo had some good music we should get some of those who participated in it and some other musicians from around the country.

    i think the rovers vs sligo is a great idea,good few players on the sligo team were decent soccer players in the day, kelly,johnny davey,mcnamara, and brehony,im sure lads like this would be well intrested in helping out the rovers,surely worth an approach.
    approachin westlife would be a good idea, didnt they sponser a few underage kits a few years ago?
    don't know if they'd do it considering there fiasco in salthill last week!

    Exactly, even if it raised a few hundred euro wouldn't it pay one player for a week. I doubt it'd cost much, if anything to organise, so I can't be a bad idea.

    And one person posted on this thread if each pub nominated one player for about 500 euro which would be 16 players thats 8,500 euro plus people who come to see it. It dosent cost much to organise and it makes a good profit for us.

    Lads,every year we talk about fundraisers,but there's no point in talking about it on the internet and then doing nothing about it.
