Supporters game, Saturday 14th July

**Patrick Dunne** · 30/06/2007, 10:00 AM

Would Sligo Rovers supporters be interested in playing a friendly against
a GUST XI at your astroturf pitch in the Showgrounds on Saturday 14th July ?

This game could be held at 3.00pm/4.00pm, to give supporters time for a few pints and something to eat afterwards.

Given the fact that both of us have Supporters Trusts, this would be an ideal opportunity to build links between both clubs.

Post here, pm me, or call Ronan Coleman at (087) 6972823 if you are interested.

**sligoman** · 30/06/2007, 1:37 PM

This would give us a bit of practice for the shams game

. How much is it to hire the astro anyone know?

**Red&White Rover** · 30/06/2007, 3:04 PM

You don't need to be a Trust member anyway. PD asked "Would Sligo Rovers supporters be interested" not just Trust members.

I contacted Conor H and ill ring Ronan Coleman later to try to have it all arranged by Wednesday. just need to know the specifics from the Galway lads as they are our guests we have to let them decide

We should have no problem getting 11....

**Patrick Dunne** · 02/07/2007, 12:06 PM

Rory,

If you pm me your number, I'll call you in the evening.
Conor is out of the country.

I was thinking along the lines of eleven-a-side, shorter than
than the full 90 minutes, maybe 30-40 mins a side.

PD.

there is great peace without conor trolling. i hope he is on an extended holiday. good luck to galway tonight.

Whaddayamean, good luck to Galway tonight? If you had five of your seven houses on Drogheda to win the league, you wouldn't be wishing Galway luck !!

**sligored** · 02/07/2007, 3:58 PM

i want galway harps athlone longford in the top division for local derbies - not more journeys to places like dundalk drogheda bray waterford cobh etc- galway may be local rivals but it leads to more interesting fixtures . had a small wager on rovers to win the league last week at 150/1 with boylesports(stopped betting with paddy powers cos they sponsor moneybags pats) . am hoping the cookie monster can attract gudjohnsen and ryan giggs or the likes in the transfer window. unlikely but worth 20 euro
also looking at the derry city links it seems unlikely that ciaran martyn will be back this week as he is playing tomorrow night in norway and they are hoping to have him registered for 12th of july for champions league.

**Conor H** · 02/07/2007, 4:35 PM

Rory,

I'll text you on Friday...i'll be back then.

K.O. Should be around the 2/3.

**Patrick Dunne** · 02/07/2007, 6:38 PM

Pitch is booked for 4.00-5.30. Thanks to Rory and Oliver (nice man) for their help.

Looking forward to this myself. Also, Ollie mans the shop while Astro is hired, it'll give Galway fans the chance to "re-acquainte" themselves with him again
