Agreeing to move to Limerick from Athlone and now having to put up with a 70 mile journey for all the home matches and God knows how far for away matches and don't drive. But should make all the matches other than Dundalk due to Thursday being their match nights.
Also sacrifising the whole season so I can get a recording of as many matches as possible on a camcorder to keep exiles and people unable to travel informed of goals, incidents etc. But will be worth it as long as it attracts a few more fans to us.
missed a free bar at work christmas parties to attend Rovers game a few times ...
bhs
of not missing a galway utd home league game for just about 10 seasons,no bull.ive the programs to prove it.i live very near the ground anyway so its easy to get to it.to keep that run going though i sacrificed alot,went down when i sick as a dog and should have been in bed,told them i was "sick" in dunnes with the only known cure being a trip to terryland park,and put off a few weekend breaks till the summer.but when summer soccer started it made it nearly impossible to keep that run going because of holidays etc.in the end last season i chose a girl ahead of galway utd and missed not 1 but 2 games last season because of it.i got the pi** pulled out of me in the match program both times for it.
Went to Liechtenstein as my family sat around my grandmothers bed after doctors told us she wouldn't live to see the week out. I went and she is still living!!
Ever get the feelin' you have been cheated?
i did the same as rory. left an 2&1/2 hr exam after an hour so i cud get bus home for rovers v galway league cup game in 2003. we won & i got 47% in the exam.
i won't work a job that means i miss a rovers game home or away either. haven't had a job since july 2005![]()

Thats the same birthday as me, wow, small world.
I skipped alot of school for rovers, but no major sacrafice really. The only one was last season, at the semi final replay in derry cause it was on halloween night, 1 of the best nights of the year. But was well worth it, what craic we had up there.

Having grandmothers is very lucrative in a horrible way.
I always turn down my nans money only to come home and find 20 or 50 notes in my jacket.
She's like the anti-Artful Dodger

Thumbed a lift from Belfast to Dundalk to watch a cup match one Thursday night. Couldn't get a lift back, walked to Newry and got soaked. Went to a pub got ****ed and slept in the street. Got a bus early in the morning to Belfast.
EDIT, Oh aye, too wet for a taxi to take me!!

As Irishmen we dilute our sense of nation by depending on the English to bring us our balls
Got a warning at work a fe days ago for ditching work an hour early to see the KCFC-Monaghan game.
Beat if it was a GAA game they wouldn't have given a toss!
You so crazy!
Everyone needs something to believe in, I believe I'll have another beer.
The biggest sacrifice I ever heard of was a certain Reds man missing a court appearance, which was only the small matter of the custody of his child, in order to see the Reds play ( I think it was Cork away!)
Who Cares?!
Went to see ireland play once, MDL football is better than it!!

"I think i'll give Friday evening a miss there.
I got a bit of bad personal news last night, ya know. i don't think i'd be up to it."
Mope around the office then for a week afterwards. You get the added bonus of people offering to make you tea all the time.
