Quotenot a hope in hell
Having seen the accounts produced for the AGM and the budget produced for the coming season, I predict that, by the end of this coming season, there will be moves afoot to sell the Showgrounds.
No shots fired at the messenger, please.
not a hope in hell
It's your prediction, so you're not 'the messenger'. Plus the thread title is misleading.
Ceci n'est pas une signature
Sligo Rovers don't even own the Showgrounds do they? Isn't it owned by some kind of trust and can't be sold.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Is there a breach in confidentiality here? Either professional or via the licencing process.
With relief its about the Sligo Showgrounds. I thought it may have been the RDS, or worse Ballymena.
" I'll go right up to here,
it can't possibly hurt.
All they will find is my
beer and my shirt."
The Showgrounds can never be sold and will always be used for football in Sligo, whether it be for Rovers or whoever else.

that thread title should be changed, it gave me a fright! Awfully misleading.
Agree , something like "Avenalaff has a pint at lunchtime " would be more appropiate.

All you've to do is look at who started the thread and then you'd know it's obviously not true.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Age has finally caught up with you ...senility!!!!
Good topic to a response though...works everytime!
This time I don't think Avvenalaf is having a laugh.
This is a sensitive issue, but certainly it is inevitable that, with the cost of running a full time club and the lack of any big investors interested in the club, the options/suggestions of selling / leasing part of the showgrounds will arise soon.
"Overwhelmed"
If RG wasn't shooting down every idea that comes in then we wouldn't even need to consider this. A car park at the Showgrounds is the minimum the club should be doing to bring money in.

Showgies, it's nice to know that at least one other lives in the real world. Has nobody learned anything from Shelbourne and Longford?
Shelbourne and Longford have.
Sligo Rovers are but tenents in the Showgrounds, non paying tenents at that!
If Sligo Rovers as a business runs into difficulty as will happen this year they will just go out of business no questions asked. The Showgrounds will remain in tack. It was for that very reason why the Showgrounds was put in Trust back in the mid-eighties. The foresight of one Mr Ray Gallagher will ensure the grounds will never be lost to the greed of the bankers or moneysucking 'businessmen' for this the man must be applauded.
Should Rovers fall on their sword it will only be the blame of the community that didn't come out to support the club.
The Showgrounds is not for sale nor never will.
Is that right ray?
Close the thread, nonsense from start to finish.
The club has baan approached by a company willing to lease some of the grounds to devolope it as a carpark but the trustees have rejected it.To me would be a good idea to do and wil help with the image of the area round astraturf pitch as it looks terrible at the moment.
Till d End!
The club are right not to lease any part of the showgies out as a car park.
They should do it themselfs, how hard can it be to manage a car park. It would look after itself.
Whats that comin' over the hill
It's the Monster,
The Cookie Monster!
stupid thread the showgrounds will never be for sale
