He started off as a full back but moved into both centre back and the centre of midfield. When he played for the Irish U21's he played in both centre back and midfield.

Expect RTID on here any minute to say they are going bust because they owe all  the volunteers three cups of tea and a mars bar each

Ya its the Railway End tribal. THere is a long term plan to develop the other end Gerk to include a stand, bar, etc. There is also plans to replace the Jinks Ave stand too (I seen those drawings) it will have a 1,800 stand, meeting rooms, gym and Futsal Hall at the back of the stand. Both are long finger stuff at this stage and wont be done for a long while. The astro pitch is to be relayed to bring it up to a higher standard and that should happen soon.
 
Havent heard a definite figure yet moose but its been financed by Sponors, business people and monies that will come from Europe and europe ticket sales this year and next. Nearly 2,000 europe tickets sold already @ €25 each (expensive I know but thats the cost you pay and Rovers fans realise this). Tickets for the new stand cant go on sale until its fully finished, UEFA thingy I think.
 
Annual draw to take place tomorrow and it's on course to reach €45,000. I went door to door with them and at €10 a ticket you'd think it would be a hard sell, but quite the opposite.
 
Im always proud to be a Sligo Rovers fan but even more so at the moment.

Ya permanent structure Tom. Foundations, blockwork, pre-cast slabs. Plan is to roof it but not just yet. Toilets to go at each end of it too.

Annual draw brought in €54,000 of clear profit. I dont think there is many clubs in the country that could bring that kind of cash over a few weeks. Well done to all concerned, a lot of leg work from a lot of people went in to make it a success.
