Shamrock Rovers Vs. Sunderland

**SMorgan** · 10/08/2008, 1:01 PM

Rovers are asking people with tickets for the game to hold on to them and said that the game will be played at the next possible opportunity.

In other words they want to hold onto the money and not give refunds. Good luck to them but I can't see too many people wanting to hold on to tickets for a game that won't be played anytime soon.

Dont mind S. Morgan more worried in Knocking other teams than bothering with his own.

Im sure you will find on the tickets it says if the match is postponed the tickets will be valid for the rearranged date and no refunds will be made.

I doubt that very much. How on earth could it?To state that Sunderland would have had to agree to come back to Ireland for a one-off game prior to last Saturday's game. I very much doubt if that were the case.

The spin from Rovers is that Sunderland have agreed to play the game for "the first possible opportunity". Sunderland have a free weekend in early September. Lets see if they come over to play this match. I bet that the possibility for the match being played during the Premiership season is zero.

Sure shels are well used to using a washed out Tolka Park to their advantage.

Rovers should never have got involved with this Sunderland nonsense, what is the attraction with them ? 2,000 max attendance, just to see his lordship roy one more time ?

Hopefully another season of a relegation battle or worse will see the irish media leave them where they belong, in the 'football snippets' section

And finally put an end to Charlie Chawle and the embarrassement of the irish day trippers to a club with zero irish tradition.

Rovers, like all Irish clubs who play them, were no doubt in it for the money. Sunderland annoy my happiness- but at least their trips to Ireland are putting a few quid back into the Irish game.

The Indo reported today that the game may be postponed until February, and be the first game at the 10,000-capacity Tallaght Stadium.
That would be nifty, but I can't really see people holding on to the tickets for that long.

Most of the real Rovers fans won't mind, and a lot of the real Sunderland fans won't be too bothered either. It's only really the day trippers that will look for money back.

A lot of the Rovers crowd are not too keen on having Sunderland open the stadium as they know it'd be full even if Rovers first team played Rovers reserves. The fans want it to be all about Rovers and the true Rovers supporters, rather than day trippers there to see Keano and the boys.It's a fair point really, it's going to be a momentous day in their history.

Don't know were that ridiculious figure came from..... Only ONE stand will be complete by the time rovers more in and that will only hold 3 thousand, and H&S wouldn't let 7 thousand more stand in the ground, even with temp seats i can't see the 'stadium' holding more than 5 or 6 thousand....

Odds of 9/2 still available for Sunderland to go down, marvelous value if you ask me for a season long bet, just a pity the teams who came up this year are possibly the weakest in history, still there`s always hope they will get sucked in !

fingers crossed

ps will that finally be the end of the MOST annoying thing ever on irish tv/radio

Rovers opening night should be against an Ireland XI.

Or similar to Galway Utd a few years ago playing Galway Gaa in a fundraiser, maybe Rovers should take on Thomas Davis so they can beat them both on and off the pitch

**LeixlipRed** · 12/08/2008, 10:56 AM

Or maybe a Kilcoyne Family XI?
