Rovers website

I was on the Drogheda site yesterday and not only was there a match report

Have you read any of the famous Drogheda match reports? Far more embarrassing than anything available - or unavailable - on any other club website.

I have to admit that I haven't

Do a quick search. They're a regular topic of derision on these forums.

Sligo seriously need someone too come in from Sligo Post or the Weekender and take a photo of the players after the game i mean they have no picture of Paul Cook still no picture of Danny Ventre or many of the other new players

The picture situation....it's not a big deal. and it will be dealt with when the squad is finalized I would say.

There's a squad pic in todays Weekender so I presume a picture was taken, how long will it be before it's online?

[Paraic]

I've been off-line for the last few days so only able to access the team picture today - it's there now ( squad photo was only taken last friday and I'm awaiting the head shots of all players.)

re the mathc report from saturday last, apologies for the late addition, we had a few server problems over the weekend which are still causing a few problems with uploading. our aim is to have the result posted immediately post match with a match report posted at the latest the following day.

In terms of photos generally, our photo man is up to his eyes with other Rovers stuff at the mo, and simply hasn't time to upload the photos, but hopefully we'll have this back asap.

people really need to get a decent dose of reality in relation to the website, I told the club two years ago that I was stepping away from it due to personal commitments, but there was noone willing to step in to take over. luckily Rory, Gus, Michael and Conall have continued to contribute and the club have got a lot better at providing info, so in terms of content, I think we are at least as good as most of the LOI sites out there.

there's a couple of problems to deal with. the site doesn't look anything as good as other sites because we've no money to upgrade it and insufficient web knowledge to get around the fact that we have no money. if you look at the better sites, their content, in many cases is no better than ours. It just looks a lot slicker.

there's a lot more that I would like to have on the site in terms of under-age results, multi-media, features etc, but there is no rush forward from the masses to come in and help us. that's the reality, like most other elelments associated with the club, it's done on a voluntary basis, with no costs to the club.

this thread has been useful in terms of identifying issues and the lads have worked extremely hard in the last few weeks to get things back up to date. we certainly don't mind a bit of critisism ( except from sligoman ) as long as its constructive and grounded in some sort of appreciation of what is required to maintain a website.

WTF is Toolan doing in the team photo?
The last time I saw a team photo like this is when Saddam's young fella was in charge of the Iraqi team

In fairness Paraic, I did offer to help with the U-21 stuff a couple of times last season and you never really got back to me about it

Keep up the good work Paraic and co.
Thanks for keeping the Rovers

Maybe too save taking individual pictures of players maybe zoom in on each player of the team picture and cut out the head and shoulders and make it there profile picture would that work out ?

hey lads,

Anyone know where i can get good quality pictures of Sligo Rovers Away Jersey for this season?
I cant find any good pictures on it besides the 2008 Squad photo.
I know that they have a different sponsor for the home and the away for this year.
If anyone knows any sites or fans that could help me out then that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

[forza rovers]

the sponser is the same is it not

Tohers on Home (Mc Sweeneys Group)

Some Bookies on the way can't remember at moment on away. That was another issue that came out of the Jersey Fiasco. I think!
