I wouldn't read too much into it, this would all have been done years ago but for the crash. They want an enclosed ground so they can host bigger events and move into things like concerts. There isn't a 10,000 seated venue in Dublin and this is to plug the market.

I am suggesting that you stop telling us every October that this time is different.
Me personally? You sure about that? I didn't think we would do anything differently under Fenlon.

I'm no fan of Rovers but this is good news. Are they going to do it in phases? I.E. build an end behind one goal and then look to sort the other end in a few years?

Thanks for the genuine reply. Good plan in theory as signing the "big" players from within the league has been a disaster the past few years. But will it be implemented properly? I suppose we will know a lot more come March or April, whoever gets the managers job will say a lot really, I can't think of many managers or players who I think would be a good fit at Rovers and that is a bit worrying. It's not a case of Rovers just needing 1 or 2 players to strengthen the team, they need at least 4 or 5 players to go straight into the starting XI imo. 
No-one disputes that. The point is that we will either give it to Bradley, who is Arsenals chief scout in Europe or someone from overseas. Either way I would expect shopping to be done elsewhere in the main. We may sign some promising youngsters but I don't see the usual journeymen coming in

As I understand it the original plan was to build to the north next but Rovers talked them into closing off the wind tunnel. The plan is to complete the ground in time, but when that happens is anyone's guess. The ground pays for itself but this is public money so things go a bit slower.

That's good. Tallaghts a nice ground and that will improve it.

As usual, all three of you are incorrect.

Any comments RTID?
I declined the opportunity to comment on something I did not see and had heard a very different story than was initially reported on here to what the court report says happened. Sligs fans have a tendency to hysteria and this is a good example of it in action. They were doing their nut over the two guys papped out of the away end, but when it turned out they were local vermin pickpocketing it all went very quiet.
As for the case itself, silly boy and is already doing something else on his Friday nights.
 
LOLLOL Will you stop. You said they weren't Shams fans and blamed Sligo Rovers for saying that it was your fans.
 
pickpockets. that's a new one. LOLLOL

But I didn't. I commented that the pair thrown out of our end weren't Rovers fans and said absolutely nothing about the pub incident because I had nothing to add. Regardless, the incident as described in court wasn't the holocaust Sligs and a certain Dundalk fan claimed at the time.

All we have to do is crawl over the line into a european spot for this season.




Would agree in that the football been way more easy on the eye with Bradley and he bombed out the gruesome twosome Brennan dickheads.

The set up of the team however against the top two has been suicidal and we've been picked off embarrassingly easily. It's no disgrace losing to those two teams, especially Dundalk but the manner of them was horrific.

But I'm way more optimistic where the club is going by trying to play decent ball. We were scarred by the utterly sh*te fare under Croly and Fenlon.

Fenlon`s reign at the club was very disappointing as we didn`t make progress and challenge for the league. Besides, the football was cautious and turgid to watch and had all the urgency of a zimmer frame.

But while Bradley`s sides play with more freedom and expression, (if you exclude the other night, when they were under the cosh all evening), I`m not convinced he`s ready for the manager`s role. He has no track record and hasn`t done the hard yards down in Div 1 with, say, a Waterford or Athlone.

I can easily see him as a director of our youth academy and a successful one at that. But he`s a lightweight in terms of experience when compared to a Kenny or Caulfield, Shiels or Robertson. I don`t see any suitable candidate from within our league and I think we`ll have to look overseas for a manager, same as we did when MON came over from managing in Scotland.

A lot of this is just correcting the gypowaffle in the Sun, but this was interesting
 
Significantly, it's believed that Rovers are planning to start offering 52-week contracts, which would mean paying their players through the winter, a development that could give them the edge on recruitment

Shamrock Rovers' primary sponsor works in a quarry....... it's reads a little bit of 'salt-minesy' for the winter training programme.

I heard that Bradley has been offered the management gig for next season. Anyone hearing the same?
