where would the stilt walkers go? they'd be falling all over the place becuase theres no level ground, all stones and stuff. could be funny to watch though

Give the local kids free axes. That'll entertain them all evening.

Sligo Rovers are reporting huge interest in Saturday's crunch match against Bray Wanderers. Manager Paul Cook has described it as a "massive" match and the club is expecting a bumper crowd to cheer on the Bit O' Red. The club has undergone the biggest ever promotional campaign in the history of Sligo soccer, erecting hundreds of signs and distributing over 15,000 flyers to homes and businesses across the county. A fantastic night's entertainment is guaranteed because as well as the match itself, the club has arranged for fire-eaters, stilt-walkers and other street performers to entertain the crowd.
The game kicks off at 7.45pm and Rovers have asked fans to arrive early to ensure that they can catch the pre match entertainment and also ensure that they get a good seat.
