I love how the average opinion of Rovers fans seems to be guaged by a few posts on a forum-God knows if we took a general view of sligo fans from this forum you wouldn't need to ban us-we wouldn't bother visiting your bitter little town-But of course we dont and the truth is that sligo fans bark is much worse than their bite.
You make it sound like having 1-200 away fans cross country is a bad thing!
Take away bohs and pats and and I doubt we'll ever see 100 let alone 200 sligo fans in tallaght for a long time,unless of course the aviva is flooded and you need Tallaght for another cup final when your vast amount of sunshiners head east for a day out shopping/supporting

"Even if the wind stops to blow
Even if the sea ceases to flow
Even if the sun ceases to rise
The name of Sligo Rovers will shine and shine forever like the morning star glittering in the sky."
Shams average attendance this season is under 4,000 so we'll see how many sunshine supporters ye have in 3 weeks time. Probably on a par with us or any other club who get to a cup final. I know it's been a while for ye to be there but you'll understand some day.
I would love to see how many people ye would bring to every away game if ye had to travel 130 miles every Friday night. Hell we even help the Dublin clubs out by having our home matches on a Saturday night so nobody has to take a half day for work (or keep the taxi off the road on a Saturday night).
Doesn't so much help the clubs as help your home attendance.
You've ran out of proof, so you're making stuff up now.

No, in that post, he's just mocking you. And quite rightly too.

Someone call 999! mypost got burnt bad.
More invention. This is the kind of nonsense that fuels the negativity towards Rovers. And all false.

What is false exactly? The claims that there was racist chanting?
No. Your post is the kind of nonsense that fuels negativity towards Rovers.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

He's responding to mypost's comment, which uses the word 'invented'. The video linked on the thread shows the opposite.

probably helps both charlie and also the atmosphere eh ! I used to love it when shams came to our little town (really) for this reason but please remember people without us (and by us I mean the little towns) there would be no league of Ireland .
p.s Tallaght 84000 people 4000 fans Sligo 17000 people 2000 fans . No doubt who has the better (not bitter ) fans . Looking forward to Aviva so we can have a great day out , sunshiners and all ( oops thats me but coming from NYC dont think ill bother with the shopping ) .
Which is why you can add that, the Wayne O'Donoghue, and the Centra shop "incidents" to the non-existent pile.
Well you should anyway.

Do they not teach the meaning of the word "arrogance" in the Sligo schools system?
Nothing in the quoted post is untrue unlike your last sentence!
Pointing out flaws in a "plan" is not "defending hooligans".
I hate all sunshine supporters,whatever colour scarf they pull from the drawer and hoover for their day out.All I can do is not be one of them or raise another generation of them.
Having said that I hope that a visit to Landsdowne on the 14th will inspire any who do attend to see the error of their ways and maybe like to witness similar albeit smaller events more often either in Tallaght,Sligo or wherever.
The tone of your post suggsets you are regulars in cup finals so you should be experts in attracting the day trippers back................or not!
On your "wish".Its something oft asked but never answered due to its rhetorical nature,although I'm confident we would play our part.I think our away following in our Div. 1 year was as good and better than most clubs could wish for as fans of Limerick,Athlone,Harps etc can probably testify.
Are we(you's) really going to do this again??
