QuoteWhat would Sligo be opening a new ground for?. We have the Showgrounds and you'll never see houses built on that.
I dont know what the exact arrangements are for away fans but rumours suggest the number will be small.Originally Posted by sligoman
Later in the season the club are hoping to have another stand open, so capacity then will be 6000+ and more tkts will be given to away fans then.
I am sure if Sligo were opening a new ground they'd be looking to look after their own fans and sponsors etc first too.

I hope those of us that were in Glenmalure Park 22 years ago will get first preference on the away tickets!!!
As long as you have your used stubI hope those of us that were in Glenmalure Park 22 years ago will get first preference on the away tickets!!!
The fans that have stuck with the club for the past 20 or so years yeah, not the blow in's who are just coming back cos ye are in Tallaght
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Wow, 22 years ago.I hope those of us that were in Glenmalure Park 22 years ago will get first preference on the away tickets!!!
I was at the match myself that day Tony O'Kelly scored early on for us,
and I think it was Mick Byrne who scored for them.
Milltown was a proper football ground it was a shame to see it go
We hope!!What would Sligo be opening a new ground for?. We have the Showgrounds and you'll never see houses built on that.
Dunno about the ticket stub, will photographic evidence do??!!As long as you have your used stub
best case scenario we get 300( would probably sell that much), worst about 150??? Season ticket holders will have to get first preference I assume....or queues at the Showgrounds office all the way from O'Neills
Cans for the queue??best case scenario we get 300( would probably sell that much), worst about 150??? Season ticket holders will have to get first preference I assume....or queues at the Showgrounds office all the way from O'Neills
Actually if the whole ground holds 3k at the moment and under the licensing we are only entitled to 5% of the capacity. If it is reduced to what the Shams lad was saying around 1,500 for the opening games we will get only 75 tickets so its going to be tight stuff to get them if that happens.best case scenario we get 300( would probably sell that much), worst about 150???

5% of 1500 would be a nightmare , there is a big fuss about Shams latest ground rental agreement I can remember a similar excitment in the early nineties when they were renting the RDS , massive crowd for the First game against Pats but between them they played out a dire 0-0 draw , there were queues to get out from half-time onwards and only a few returned for the subsequent matches hence we are being called upon to put on a show of football for the first match this time around to help them to encourage people to return for subsequent matches.
63.00
Maybe they were all heading to Bob the Builder across the road in Simmonscourt LR??!!
Spot on - big Tony's header right in front of us. Then piling onto the pitch at half-time to support the Shams fans' protest. Someone should have got a Nobel Peace Prize for that one. In fairness, KRAM returned the favour and sent us a few bob later when we were (imagine this) in financial crisis.
"Even if the wind stops to blow
Even if the sea ceases to flow
Even if the sun ceases to rise
The name of Sligo Rovers will shine and shine forever like the morning star glittering in the sky."
surely if the match is sold out , it will be shown live on tv.
I think they should think about switching it to a bigger ground !
LOL, why? so the 500 who can't get tickets can see?
54,321 sold - wws will never die - ***

It's 5% of the overall capacity. So the mininum that you are entitled to is 150 tickets.
another great contribution to this site by dodge.
lol,very funny.
get a life instead of trawling other clubs sites and having nothing worthwhile or constructive to say.
we would be lost without your input. thanks.
Leave Dodge alone, Sligored - he takes your mind off me.
