Jesus fair play to that Sligo fan. RIP.
Great thread Rodney.
Two of us were skint after the Odra game cos we didnt think we'd go through! So with the Liberec game on the saturday and no flights arranged we suggested getting the bus. After the initial laughter we found out that it was gonna take 35 hours so we decided to go for it. Went to Busaras and asked and the guy says we had to leave that day (tuesday) cos the next few days were booked out. Legged it home and packed and next thing we're on the ferry with dozens of dipsos!
No words can describe how fcuked up we were when the bus eventually got into Prague but at least we had something to look forward to. It worked out well cos we had to time to rest and sightsee and check out the boozers before the main block of Rovers arrived. The journey home was twice as bad!
I had taken a career break from the current job to travel and ended up spending most of the 2.5 years in New York. For the Djurgardens games I flew back but then got back to find the job gone! Met Liam Buckley in a Stockholm bar and he couldn't get over anyone travelling that far for a game!
Came back for the Cup Final in 2002 for a week. Massively disappointing.
Lived in Cork from 94 to 96 and went to every Rovers game home and away.
Been home since 2003 got sick of planes!!

I take holidays every Friday when Athlone are playing as I commute to work and would miss the start of games. Herself isn't happy that I use 10 days holidays a year for this but I am sure she will get over it eventually.
I believe we have 2 supporters from Tyrone that travel down to Mels every second week and take in the away games
Oh yeah. I'm responsible for Pats signing Mbabazi and Ndo too. Forgot about that

That was the same for aload of the lads aswell ... what they were doing was putting €50-€100 down on City to win in the first legs, etc. and raising the cash that way for the next round. Probably the best way to do it.

I went to Liechtenstein, after we were told my gran would not live the week out, as it turns out I made the right decision, she is still around today!!
Ever get the feelin' you have been cheated?
There was a naked fire drill done by us up at a game up in derry last year,it was the game in which the lights went out while we were beating derry, we stayed in a hotel in a staunchly loyalist part of derry, while just outside the door a fella got his 2 kneecaps blown off him in a loyalist feud, kinda funny actually.
1 of the lads pressed the fire button at 4am in the morning and to see the expression on the girl at the desk when all the lads was running past her in their jocks etc.. was amusing to say the least.
The things you do for your club
i for one have done some mad stupid things for my club at sufficient expense for myself#
when i was in college up in Dublin da town were playin pats on a saturday night and i was stayin up that weekend! i really wanted to go the game so the only way for me to go was to go on the pats bus down to the game and back!
the slagging on the bus was soemthing else it didnt take the pats guys too long to cop on that i was a town supporter. AND GUESS WHAT we lost 3-0. dec 00 i reckon when i did that.
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

"Even if the sun ceases to rise, Even if the sea ceases to flow, Even if the wind stops to blow, The name of Sligo Rovers will shine and shine forever like the morning, glinting star in the sky."
On the face of it, *invest* in them would be up there..........
Funny how the craziest can be the most rewarding, isn't it?
The Model Club
Tell all the Bohs you know
that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.
I was supposed to go to a presentation for a scholarship and €1,000 prize in Dublin, but forfeited it to go home to the Brandywell for a Derry v Shels game
Good man Kev,
true commitment.Did we win that game?
Did you get the money later on ??
