I love it, keep it coming. All this bashing particularly at me because I said I wasn't traveling to Roscommon for a watery championship game. I really like how the orphans (posters who haven't the balls to say what county they are from but hide behind a foreign country) join in the sermons. No word on all the games I went to. Sligo supporters had to go to London twice plus several trips to the east and south east of the country. We had 5 away games in the U.20 , and there were also a few minor games. I didn't stop anyone from going last Sunday. Have these holier than thou posters gone on the Donegal, Mayo,Cork, Dublin, Kildare, Kerry etc etc sites to ask where was your support last Sunday . Fantastic to see so much interest by other people in our county. I never remember as much traffic on this site before. These key board warriors are so brave.

Would like to talk about nothing more. I would love if all those player on the fringes of the Sligo team were allowed play with the club this weekend. Laffey, Keaney,Rooney,Lavin,Smith, Flynn,Gavigan and countless more lads are getting no football at the moment. Most of them didn't see 15 mins for Sligo between league and championship. They won't even be at the pace for club games when they return. I don't really have an opinion on the 2 points for the early rounds as compared to 3 points for latter stages. The league must go on without the county lads. We will know more at the end of the league. Any team that hasn't points on the board by this weekend are already in relegation trouble

There is nothing for Sligo to turn around, there was good support in London, at the New York game and at Connacht Final The problem is the group stages, the cost of going to 3 games in 4/5 weeks and the prices the GAA are charging. They could have done a package deal to help reduce cost but these group games do nothing to attract supporters. Supporters are way down throughout the country. muscles (Sligo) - Posts: 399 - 07/06/2023 09:39:21 2484638 Link 0 |

Firstly ticket prices was cheaper than the Connacht championship matches and Sligo even brought more to the New York game than the last two games. Living in general is costly as is supporting your county team. Kildare at home was winnable game and against your neighbours shouldn't need a reason for going. home championship games and against your neighbour in the last 16 of the championship is more rare for Sligo than sunny days in the summer. As I've said already the senior team is the flagship team, Sligo Senior manager called for a bigger support and it's fallen on deaf ears. Thick and thin is supporting a team in all team sports, don't expect sell outs crowds to turn up but Sligo should be getting more than 2k at the Kildare home match and bringing more than a few hundred to Hyde Park last Sunday.

Of course you love it as you are wind up merchant seeking a reaction. I'm Galway born, when I first signed up here I was UK based and GAA involved there and posted on the UK forum. You went out of your way to give excuses not to attend that Roscommon championship game and you'll have another excuse not to attend the Dublin game on June 18th, already gave you a ready made one which seemed to hit a nerve.
