QUOTE Sligo Rovers members were told of the dire state of the club finances and that the club needed €130,000 by the end of August to stay in Premier Division football to the end of the season.
As of yesterday, Tuesday 12 August the club have raised only a paltry €32,955 from all the fundraisers organised. -------------------- "That's the great thing about Catholicism, Dougal. It's so vague and nobody really understands what it's all about."

Just like Cobh the Sligo finances don't add up. Attendances more or less the same as last season & probably smaller squad... Cobh have double the attendance & similar squad but in financial trouble. -------------------- ----------------------------------------------------
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt. |

It just goes from bad to worse for the league. It would be a pity if they went bust.

Sligo struggling to stay alive Sunday, 24 August 2008 12:29 QUOTE Sligo Rovers have issued a fresh appeal for funds, as the financial crisis at the club continues.
A statement released by the club announced that only €44,000 had been raised so far, some way short of the €130,000 required to keep the club in business. The club had set a deadline of 31 August to raise the money. They have now urged the people of Sligo to come out in force for their upcoming home league games against Drogheda United and Bohemians. They've also asked those who attend - including season tickets holders, committee members, stewards and press - to make a voluntary €20 contribution to the club. Manager Paul Cook and his players have agreed to return their free passes for the remainder of the season. |

So two weeks later, they've raised an extra €11k. Christ.

Sligo are great for this league. They've a decent fanbase, are representative of the west of Ireland, and try to play good football with a promising young manager and lots of raw talent.
