Good luck to Sligo against Motherwell!!! Sligo are definitely going to be more battle-hardened and probably fitter than their Scottish opponents who are in pre-season so have a big advantage here to Sligo Rovers. Personally I won't be surprised to see Sligo progressing on to the next round.

Wow!!!Extremely so fantastic and Sligo Rovers are one of my favourite respective footballing clubs daily and ever in this world and other planets,good friends!!!LONG LIVE,SLIGO ROVERS!!!🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️

For someone who loves football grounds, this is great content! Keep up the hard work.

Bit unlucky, you didn't reach two pubs which are close to The Showgrounds. One just few steps away from stadium, and second maybe 200 meters away. As for decades they were hosting both Rovers and visitors fans, they are strongly linked to club and you could possibly hear some interesting stories about the club. I'm bit disappointed you didn't mention incredible Rovers fans. Whenever Sligo played cups finals in previous decade, they were supported by 12 up to 17 thousands fans travelling to Dublin. 12 to 17 K while town has around 17-20 K citizens:) As a East European living in Sligo for around 15 years I was always shocked when I heard about those figures. I was lucky to attend 2014 FAI Cup final against Drogheda, and from over 700 live football games which in my life I've seen live, that was match which I will remember as the best which I witnessed. C'mon Rovers!

As a Everton fan I’ve always wanted us to play Sligo away would be a great away trip

Great video Sam.🔴⚪ With me being younger I think seamie would be my favorite out of the two. Great to see how good career played out after he left rovers.

It’s worth reading up on. Sligo lost the FAI Cup Final in 1939 and during the reception after the game, Dean’s loser’s medal was stolen from his bedroom. In 1978 he came to Dublin to watch Sligo Rovers in the FAI Cup Final against Shamrock Rovers (spit) and his stolen medal was delivered to his hotel room. There was actually a book written about his time with Sligo Rovers called “In the Shadow of Benbulben: Dixie Dean at Sligo Rovers”. It was published in May and it’s on Amazon.

Nice comment regarding the rain in the West. It is soft and gentle (but not always!).

I bet Dixie Dean didnt pay €5:20 for Guiness when he stayed at that hotel ?!! 🤤

nice work brother love watching the small stadiums and your travels cheers from Tasmania Australia

Also Glad u visited Linfield Sam, and of course u filmed both Nottingham based clubs, love that. Keep up the Content and hope u enjoyed Ireland, both republican and Northern.

If you visit county cork you should visit Crosshaven just south of Cork City as Bobby Tambling has been living there since the 1973/74 (when he moved to Cork to play for Cork Celtic) and has managed their local team Crosshaven FC until the mid 2000s C: a lot of legends played in the old Cork Celtic/Cork Alberts team including Geoff Hurst and Ian Callaghan!

Who do they hold dearest? It might be Sean Fallon. His Dad was also Mayor of Sligo. After all, Coleman is a Donegal man and Dean an Englishman. "The Iron Man" is THE MAN!

Unbelievable considering it was essentially full time professionals against Welsh part timers but 'a win is a win' as they say and it was good prep for the next round. All that said, I firmly believe Sligo Rovers definitely have the ability to defeat a very average Motherwell who are in pre-season and not battle-hardened like Sligo. Personally I won't be at all surprised to see Sligo march on to the next round.
