Real Madrid for Tallafornia

[stojkovic]

Anyone who pays €60 to see a meaningless game like this is crazy.

I'm crazy so.

Its not often the World's media and 50 or so TV crews turn up for a meaningless game, is it ?

But you know best.

are they still calling Sligo a "city"?

[Rovers1]

are they still calling Sligo a "city"?

Reasonable question. Some of 'them' still do, but really it's a town

[Sheridan]

Keep it up Sheridan, every time you post a bitter little diatribe on here about Rovers our board proves you wrong. Time and time and time again.

Rovers arent playing Madrid, Tallaght isnt sold out, Gary Twigg was poor business, youre a ****ing sad deluded cun t, **** off an die like that abomination of a club in your avatar

Remember kids, they're a fluffy, family-friendly club really, not violent, vulgar louts! Honest!

€60 is disgraceful profiteering in the midst of a recession, but what does one expect from the most right-wing club in the league. I suppose they have to recoup that £25,000 transfer fee somehow.

PS: I admit I was wrong about one thing. It wasn't RM trying to stiff Shams, it was Platinum!

Thank you. We're not all fluffy and friendly though!

We didnt actually set the price. If I had my way it would have been be €80 for the general public barstoolers, as there's little doubt about them not selling. Unfortunately we only get a set fee from P1 and they recieve the entire gate reciepts.

I suppose they have to recoup that £25,000 transfer fee somehow.

You'll be glad to know we recouped that pretty much instantly through the sale of GerOB to Derry for £20,000. You seem to be portraying Gary Twigg as a negative signing when its clearly quite the opposite. The player is now worth at least 100,000+ and was the best signing and bit of business any LoI club has done in a while.

[Sheridan]

I don't have any beef with you, Buller (or with most Rovers fans, believe it or not), and while I disagree with some of your assertions above, you make some good points.

oh i hear ya! i used to wonder why every ground they went to was crawling with cops with alsations and set up like a prison!

Your point might have more validity if you could list the dates when

[gufcfan]

Newstalk doing a bit about the game in a few mins before 9am.

well lets see, alot of fans from other clubs commented to me about it, and every time ye played longford it was like that at flancare. every else was let out of the ground before ye to avoid trouble!

But anyone who can get 6000+ people to pay you €60 to effectively watch an advertisement for your football club is doing pretty well for themselves. Well done Rovers!

[HulaHoop]

well lets see, alot of fans from other clubs commented to me about it,

Who are these mystery fans I wonder? I'm genuinely interested to know the lots of fans from other clubs that told you their grounds were set up like a prison. Any pictures of these football ground prisons? Maybe just maybe you are referring to the fact that practically every football club in the world has a designated part of their ground for away fans and generally restricts away fans access to other parts of the ground.

every time ye played longford it was like that at flancare. every else was let out of the ground before ye to avoid trouble!

You mean the standard worldwide practice of keeping aways fans in for a few minutes after the match and let the home fans out first?

So now, it's restricted to one ground. Major climbdown there.

Mind you, I'm sure you're enjoying having the whole stadium stand to your own fans these days.

[Dodge]

Mind you, I'm sure you're enjoying having the whole stadium stand to your own fans these days.

Anyone else see the irony of Rovers fans pointing out the difference between a stand and a stadium?

Idiot!

There is a reason for that.

Which won't last much longer.

[rebelarmyexile]

When are the temp stands going in? Will there be seats behind the goals?

They really should maximise every square inch of the place and get as many in as safely possible. €60 is very fair considering the crap I would spend with €60 a night out.

Also how much of the gate are Rovers getting?

Obviously take away P1's Cut, SDCC's Cut, and cost of seating. How much will they make from this venture?
