Heard the best fundraiser ever last night. Pay €50 to have yer name put on a seat in Dalymount. This fundraiser was announced as a way to help the club to come 'under the 65% wage cap by the end of the season'.

So basically, we're cheats so give us money so we can get away with it.

Ah, but if they give them the money they won't be cheats.....

I'd imagine fundraising is part of every clubs projected income for the year, if they get the money then fair enough.

Spot on micls.

Even if they're doing it in a panic, seems like a normal emough fundraiser. Plenty of teams in UK have done it. Similar to the "buy a brick" campaign that others have done.

€50 is steep though. Reckon they'd earn more going with a tenner...

Good man Flexy let it all out,if you were there then you woud of seen that it should have been all over before extra time,the amount of easy chances we missed in the 2nd half was unreal.The sending off was a right decison he was the last man and clearly stopped a goal scoring chance so correct decision by the ref Mr Winters,in the 1st half I would admit that Cronin was lucky to stay on the pitch with his "tackle" on Raf.I thought we deserved to win on our 2nd half performance but 1st half was all Sligo and I was very impressed with the 2 new forwards they have Blinkhorn and Hunter(think thats him name).There was plenty of the Bit o Red that travelled up and it was great to see,they like many others thought they had won the game,they have celebrated a bit to early but after Friday's game Sligo fans should of realised its not over till its over or in your case Flexy its not over to Bohs score.Once it went into extra time there was always only going to be one winner and that was Bohs,it could of been 6 or 7 by the end of extra time but that would of been harsh on a Sligo team that gave everything last night.

The treble is still on

Or where there some first team players there to justify the ads for the match which said you were playing Athletico Madrid X1?

The ad in the Mirror was misleading at its best , couldnt expect anything else from Dundalk

Nobody here said it was madrid's full team so i duno where you're getting that from. There where two lads that tasted first team action for their full team last season thats it but there will be quite a few who will make it in Spain! We didnt exactly have a full team out either!

This idea is nothing new and as Dodge mentioned has happened in England and indeed all over the world ( I recently visited CITIFIELD a new baseball stadium in New York and they have a sponsored brick scheme).

I know it was a bad result for Sligo at Dalyer but having a stupid go at Bohs in the wrong just makes YOU look an idiot, If the sponsorship (and other) things get us under the 65% rule how will we be cheating ? Can only presume that the long journey home is to blame or have you forgotten Sligo fund raising in the past

As I posted elsewhere good crowd from Sligo and it must have been a sickner (technical term) to concede so late. Strikers looked useful for you and the team always play decent football. I think the 10 men (seding off) may have been a factor as Dalymount is a big pitch and hard enough to defend with 11

Maybe it was here i got it from

ads in paper saying you were playing Atletico Madrid X1 which usually means some first and reserve team playing. Atletico madrid B are not their reserve side. Also it was in the ad it was called a festival of football as if it was some glamour match like Rovers had against Real and Newcastle. Mutton dressed as lamb comes into mind

Still 1500 turned out to support the town, u'll probably have your usual 250-300 next home game. The premier division eagerly awaits your arrival.
