Price seems a bit steep. Hard to know if it'll be much of a success. Great idea though and good to see the club putting something together so quick.
Guest player on the night: Keith Foy
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
I don’t think something like this was ever done as a fundraiser for Rovers. Best of luck
Yeah but big prizesOriginally Posted by sligoman
Allot of interest already people will come just for the poker.Spectators welcome
whos organising this Rovers or the Trust?
How much of a cut are CPT getting from this? Their reputation is somewhat tarnished in parts of the poker community in Ireland. However I can't say I ever played one of their tournaments as their rake seems excessive.

I believe this is a sligo rovers organised event.
€110 is that much at all to poker playing people, might head up myself for it.
I can see every club robbing this idea as it should be a definite money spinner.
Also you could post it here, you may be able to attract some people who post there from the west.

But you will need to answer these questions or most of them, Starting stack, Blinds etc will be needed.

I play with Foy every so often in Dublin he is a pure bluffer !!
excellent idea. glad to see it's on a weekend too. this would be a club initiative since it was raised at that meeting they had.
should this not be on the club website ?
obviously there is a cut for cpt but with entry at 100 + 10 then it should be a profitable enough venture. i wonder if casino in sligo was considered.
anyway very well done to all who organised and with those great prizes i expect it to be hugely successful. cud become a bi-annual or annual event.
Out of curiousity,how do Sligo Rovers make money out of this?
Let's assume the registration fees go to Celtic Poker Tour and that we get 200 people at it but there is a car and €10,000 to be paid out-what happens if we dont get the sponsers for the €10,000?
I wonder what you get for your sponsership?
It's good to see a different fundraising idea but I hope it wasn't rushed into for the sake of doing it.
ill be there anyway.....wish you contacted the supporters trust before you went and did this!
are you getting any sponsorship from the adelaide casino?

Neither, from what I hear its been organised by the supporter who proposed the idea at the meeting.
Well done and every success.
I have scattered my dreams underneath your feet, tread carefully, cos it's my dreams you walk on.
that's excellent. well done to that chap. good to see club get help in their fundraising efforts.
We have been planning one for some time too but nothing like those prizes. Ours is also a lot cheaper to enter! Not sure of the exact details, other than its on Friday 16th, at the mo coz have no interest in poker!
Good luck with it, but that is a big prize fund and cant see how you could make much money.
REGISTRATION FEE HAS TO BE INCREASED TO 15EUROS .IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO PUT UP POSTERS OF THIS EVENT IN YOUR LOCAL OR AT WORK PLEASE RING THE NUMBER ABOVE. THE MORE KNOW THE BETTER ATTENDANCE.BRILLANT RESPONSE SO FAR...

I don't think we're claiming that it is. I know that Monaghan are using the same format in the coming weeks - what I understand is relatively new, is the format that is being used.Sligo aren't the first to have a poker fundraiser
I'll stand corrected on that one, though.
