I would love to see Eddie Annand line out, now he was a legend!!!!

afaik the liverpool supporters club sligo branch are going to organise a raffle(for its members) with the winner getting to lead the legends out and play with them. tickets will be about �10 each i think.
rovers should think about doing the same.

this is a much needed fundraiser and should be fully supported. i'd say it will cost around 20 k to organise so we need to get as many people in as possible. if this was a failure it would spell disaster for the club. so lads get the word out and fill the showgies to capacity as galway from what i have being told have already theirs sold out. we need to generate funds for the club remember june is a huge month for the club financially as we only have 1 home game then a holiday break and the players have still to be paid. do the math cost of wages for june i'd say approx k80. i rest my case

What's the current capacity of The Sowgrounds? Maybe 2500 in both stands, 1000 in The Railway End and a couple of hundred in Post War Berlin (The Shed End)

Not The English club ye think ye support.

As Roy Keane Said " Prawn Sandwiche Supporters".

Whether you like Liverpool or not, this will make the club big money and good publicity too.

I wouldnt describe you as a "prawn sandwich supporter".

Is there some rule about not being allowed to wash our hair on the day of the game? Have we to have smelly hair to be allowed in to the game?

Does anyone have contact details for the people that organise these legends games

**celticV3** · 13/04/2008, 3:15 PM

think to advertise it hopefully their will be something big in the 3 main papers and maybe a text from the free text before the galway game so people know the tickets will be available

**Redie** · 13/04/2008, 5:49 PM

I've got to say I’m more than excited about this because they will probably have to do some work on the pitch so that it befits a 'legend'

On Saturday June 14th legends will collide in the Showgrounds as Sligo Rovers Legends take on the Liverpool Legends.The Liverpool side will be made up of some of the greatest players to ever play for the Anfield side and the names confirmed include-Ian Rush,Jan Molby,Ronnie Whelan,John Aldridge,Alan Kennedy,Phil Neil,Gary Gillespie,Rob Jones,Mike Marsh,John Wark,Paul Walsh,John Durnin and Bob Boulder.

Given the size of some of these guys we will get the pitch rolled for free aswell

**Guts&Glory** · 14/04/2008, 12:28 PM

I have no interest in seeing the Liverpool legends its the Rovers Legends I wanna see....Ski, Annand, Fagan, Hastie et al.

They will bring back some great memories of brilliant ROVERS days.

As everyone has said hopefully Rovers make some profit out of what is an expensive game to host.
