There's always one!!! If the bar stoolers were at the Longford game, and seen for themselves the 2 crackers that Singh scored. I'm sure they would come back again. I'm convinced that a fair proportion will return when they see whats on offer.
Well done to whoever is behind this venture. I've been saying it for a long time, promote the game and the crowds will come in.

Good stuff from RedArrow, good comment. Great Idea, its all about getting people thru the turnstiles and let them see how good the football is at the Showgrounds. How some people can say this could be a "bit dodgy" is ridiculous, its a novel idea....and a great prize for the winner. Come on the Bit O' Red

totally!

it(the man u ticket thing)is a good idea but why not have a mini blitz on at half time involving different schools every week. like tuesday except bigger. therefore more children and more parents coming to matches.

why not have a family season ticket with allocated seats in the stand? or maybe just a one off family ticket?

why not invite youth soccer clubs to be special guests at a game and invite them to meet the players after the game. maybe under 10's nd 12's

Free child tickets are another option...

its great to see all the posters around town advertising the game..i have them 4 of them stuck up on the windows at work!gotta say the only bad thing about is it has the wrong kick off time on it....could be a big crowd coming in 15 mins late saturday!

does anyone know how this is going to be done? like will we getta ticket on the way in or do we just give names etc.???

**sligoman** · 22/09/2006, 10:42 PM

Given tickets I presume, giving names would take too long...

What's with the 7-45 kick off ? I prefer 7-30. What do other people think?

**SligoBrewer** · 23/09/2006, 3:27 PM

7 45 is betr imo

**feo123** · 23/09/2006, 10:21 PM

nah......7.30!!

**SligoBrewer** · 24/09/2006, 1:19 PM

didn't really make much difference did it?

**The Stars** · 24/09/2006, 3:30 PM

it did.....i was in the Jinks avenue stand and there were loads of people there who came just for the tickets.
Some of them said they would be back next week so it did have the desired effect.

**SligoBrewer** · 24/09/2006, 3:48 PM

good 2 know.. i was expecting more tho...

ah well

**Sideline** · 25/09/2006, 9:29 AM

I think the dark evenings will bring back a certain amount of fans .Speaking to a few Sat evening the weather was so bad that any other p[lans they had for the evening were abandoned great chance to get to a match.
