In fairness Dodge I dont think it matters to the Bar stoolers that its Everton or Everton 11; they hear Everton and thats all they want, as proven by the crowd at the liverpool 11 last year.
Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!
Look I'm not trying to tell anyone how to sell anything but its a far, far easier sell if you can show that players people know are going to play. Even on thes forums Sligo fans have said said that Everton are "promising to send over a strong team" (mightn't be exact quote in fairness). Why mention it if it doesn' make a difference. It clearly doesOriginally Posted by redobit

You have to Market it as an Everton X1 otherwise people will feel ripped off.We have marketed our game versus Liverpoll X1 as just that and its still selling excellently.
We are the Galway Boys Stand up and make some noise"
Everton are flying in to Knock the morning after the Wolfsburg game. Full sqaud and all. Whether they play a full first team XI, I don't know. Everton have asked for no names to be mentioned player wise.
Unreal!
I left a big steaming verbal turd in the comment section, but I know it'll just get ignored!
yeah idiots posting.
peter collings was spot on imo
Confirmed in todays Sligo Champion, that Everton are bringing a full strength squad.
"This simply isnt a Everton XI or a reserve team, Everton are bringing a full squad .............."
Well they're bringing a full-strength squad but that doesn't have much bearing on what team they'll put out. Presumably they'll play whoever wasn't picked for the Wolfsburg game and presumably they'll want to test their top players against the former German champions. Could be wrong, mind.
so what. Take the stoolers for all ye can lads.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Surely they'll be taking their own fans for just as much. Unless they enjoy being patronised by foreign teams.
Maybe their own fans will be coming out to support thier own side whilst also welcoming Seamie back to the Showgrounds and maybe they don't give a sh!te as to who Everton have in their side?
Imo, they will only taking barstoolers to the cleaners, fair played.
Jeez, I can't believe I defended Sligo Rovers, I feel dirty.
To be fair to the bluesh1te there is nowhere in the civilised (and uncivilised) world better for whining and moaning bitter vitriol than the outdated kip that is Goodison park (they could teach bohs how to moan).
And maybe the "barstoolers" (lots of whom will be genuine Everton fans) will come out to support their side for the exact same reasons.
Great post Peter Collings
But those visitors wouldn't be back in the Showgrounds for other games, regardless of which players appear for either team.
That's because they're Everton fans.
Agree. Comments from Everton 'fans' are really dumb. Thick idiots.
Athlone Town v Middlesbrough tonite should be a good one, Port Vale tomorrow then Villarreal saturday, hopefully these games can spark the local public into following the team on a regular basis!
Athlone and Middlesborough finished 1-1 with the visitors leaving knowing they were given a right good game by our lads.
One thing to note from the game was the crowd of close to 1000 got right behind Athlone when they realised that we weren't there just to make up the numbers. Hopefully we will see a few back here for Port Vale and the game Friday night
what was the teams br?
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
