If they get those ideas running along with say another Golf Day outing and a few tournaments that utilise the astro pitch as much as the can (i.e. tournaments bring entry fees and all that) they should have a few more quid in the bank.Originally Posted by wild rover
We all want to see Rovers in a healthy position and doing well so heres to the future.
I'll be looking to make an appearance at the poker tournie, hopefully texas holdem and not draw poker.
They should approach the casino and do it in style (fine casino), both the casino and rovers could stand to benefit. If the casino ran a benefit tournie it might draw more punters into the casino.
thats what i was thinking although im not sure who "they" is
Was not at meeting but my father was he, said the canystrip jersey was not registered and could not be used.
Like the new one the hoops jersey is foul, You know what they say about hoops they add pounds, don't think it would have done Foy any favours.

You're right I don't know who will pick up these duties, certainly if I was back living I sligo and been a poker player i certainly would think about approaching the club to be able to setup an event or a series of poker events.
You could set up events in pubs around the town to qualify for an final event which could be held in a nice venue such as the casino. You could even give out season tickets as part of the prize fund which would generate more sales.
Funny that only a couple of people mentioned McT and nobody at all mentioned Flannery when they were repeatedly talking about bringing local players back (cue someone criticising Flannery). Mary McGowan said there are 5 local players on the books: Emlyn Mulligan was one of the ones mentioned,first of all is he local being from Leitrim? And secondly he won't be going full time to the best of my knowledge but will still play under 21. Though i'm not sure about that either as he plays gaa for the I.T. and will probably play with the Leitrim seniors too.
"he tries his best.... but I was a proper player".
So what if he's from Leitrim, there are Rovers fans in Leitrim, McT is from Roscommon and he's still local...

so this meet was bsically to put forward fundraising ideas and vote on a new jersey ? did they ask for people to get involved in running the club or was it just the same help on matchdays request ?
dont know about anyone else opinion but why do we change jersey so much. other clubs might change jersey but dont deviate so much to a completely diferent jersey style. we must put out more jerseys than any other club !! and i'm not entirely sure it's benefiting the club all that much
gret idea on the poker if someone get's it organised. it must be the no 1 staying in activity at the moment. having a series of heat's and a final over a period of weeks in the casino would be great. i'd stay away from having heat's in pubs as u'll always get couple pubs who get left out and then getting miffed over it. plus the casino doesnt serve alcohol, which may entice a wider array of people.
did anyone ask why all this could not have been discussed at the AGM ? dont suppose anyone suggested having AGM or future meetings like this on a weekend ? did anyone ask why it was a restricted meeting ?
Sorry for all questions, just very hard to know what going on at the club when exiled !!
We've had our home jersey for 3 seasons
yeah i know dat. doesnt mean we have to change it. not that i mind it changing but so radically ? the last jersey was excellent. this one doesnt look great.
Derry were unhappy with us wearing candystrips and there was somthing said about our striped jersey not having been registered. Seems there was pressure to get rid of the strips, sad I liked 'em.

Did he (Toolin) not say ''last years strip was not available'' from Jacko?? & these are the two options.I'm only saying what was said at meeting last night
No 2 seasons.
Its a registration thing - Red Tape and all...
Look the club isregistered with the FAI or with the League (as was the case in the past) as wearing Red jersey, White shorts and red socks. Derry took Rovers up on this saying, that we should not be wearing candy-stripes if we're not registered to wear them.

2 Small Points:
1. Is it not the role of the Commercial Manager to raise funds/money for the club and to come up with ideas on how to do same?
2. If Jako cant supply Rovers with a striped jersey and that's the jersey the club prefers (for whatever reason), then why doesn't the club get a different supplier that can supply the jersey?
jaco can supply us with striped jersey, why would they stop making red and white candy striped jerseys??? The hooped one was offered as a possibility because no other club would have a problem with it. You tell me what colours the club had registered with the league. These are not my words they came from an ex-secretary of the club while in conversation. It was not explained to the whole attendance of the meeting. Your taking this little matter seriously, wha?You are obviosuly making this up as you go along, great quote from Derry thrown in as well !!Look Bravo was at it and he has even told you what was said. If it was only Red Jerseys that we could wear why did the Club offer us a Red and White Hoop jersey ? It is because Jako could not supply us with the Striped Jersey.
