Is drinking and a few flares really newsworthy from an away match? There is a common theme in Sligo whenever we win, always some dramatic tear filled story about Rovers fans. There was a banner from our end for this Brit Sligo have brought in as manager "Robertson war criminal shame on Sligo, TÁL".

A large away crowd with a load of different buses on the * for a few hours is what happened, the exact same as I've seen it on aways with Celtic to be honest.

Sligo are clearly desperate and have risked it on this ex Brit and a squad full of new LoI players, it will go one way or the other

And you know full well that in a LoI context everyone outside of Sligo refers to Sligo Rovers as Sligo and Shamrock Rovers as Rovers, its not meant as a dig so I wouldn't take it as one btw

Cabinteely ???

Never even heard of them, and just seen they beat Athlone 2-1 in the first division.

Done a google and they seam like an alright wee mob, hope they do well!

We are Cabinteely Football Club…and this is our story…

Firstly, thank you for taking time to read this. We want you to join with us, on an exciting new venture.
There is a lot to our story, but many chapters are yet to be written. These new chapters are going to be about you, the people of our area. This is your club.
This is a club that we want everyone in the ‘Borough’ to be proud of.
South Dublin is made up of dozens of football clubs and we endeavor to represent this great footballing area.
We are delighted to have joined the SSE Airtricity League of Ireland 1st Division.
The Football Association of Ireland has awarded Cabinteely Football Club a license to join the highest echelons of Irish football. We will be the first team from the Borough of Dun Laoghaire to play at this level. This is a part of history for our area.
Cabinteely Football Club is now the largest football club in the country by player numbers. We proudly proclaim the club as a community club. We have and will always advocate ‘football for all’. One of our core strengths is the phenomenal community support that underpins our club.
This announcement means that our players now have a pathway right through to senior football. This progression comes from years of enthusiasm and tireless effort from the community and the support it has received in that time.
This venture is to be self-funding through its own sponsorship and various revenue streams. This ensures that the finances of the schoolboy and schoolgirl club are not compromised. The new company has established a board of directors who will be responsible for driving the success of the new team.
We are ready to meet the challenge, we want and will be successful at this level. We want you to be part of and share in our success. We want to bring new, fresh and exciting ideas into football.
Supporters are the heartbeat of any club. We want and need you to encourage support for us.
We ask you to join us, to rally together, in bringing League of Ireland football to the ‘Borough’. This is a great opportunity for family and friends alike to get down to our games and cheer the guys on.
It is interesting to see where this story started. Eighty years ago the team was not even known as Cabinteely, but rather they were commonly called ‘the Blues from Cabinteely’.
In 1939, we won the Schoolboys League Cup. And what about this – the gate receipts for that cup final were £180? If you know that general admission prices were about about €0.03 in today’s money, that indicates a crowd of about 6,000.
The most famous Cabinteely side included Peter Farrell (Peter scored the second goal when Ireland became the first country to beat England at home in 1949 and later went on to captain Ireland – perhaps we have another future Irish captain in the club today?).
The Blues changed their name to Cabinteely Boys around 1950 and the current club was formed in 1967, as Auburn F.C., and began league football with only one team. In 1973 the club was renamed Cabinteely Boys F.C.
The name was more recently changed to Cabinteely F.C., to reflect both the numbers of individual girl members and its excellent ladies teams.
Fast-forward to today and there are now 55 teams. This is a mixture of school-boy teams, school-girl teams, a special needs team, a ladies team and now our first ever League of Ireland team.
Now it’s time to start writing the latest chapters. It’s time to come together. Let’s do this. We are one. We are Cabo.

This is their second year in LoI, they started off last season well but fell away. They've had a massive underage system for years now, basically they joined the LoI so they will have access to the new underage LoI leagues that are taking shape

* sake, I had never even heard of them

I never really looked at the first division last year, apart from near the end to check Finn Harps results, hoping they got up, as it would be a handy away game for us.

Do this Cabinteely mob get much of a crowd, or are they just like UCD with absolutely no supporters ???

UCD's average attendance last season if you can even call it that was 217!!!
Cabinteely's was 1,052 which is middle of the pack in terms of League of Ireland attendances. I think they came in 10th out of all 20 League of Ireland teams in average attendance.

I think that was mainly down to their first few fixtures bringing in quite big attendances and they seem to count all the kids with free season tickets, not that its bad but it certainly is massaging their figures :icon_mrgreen:.

They have a good marketing team who have had some very good bits on social media the past year, and at least they have people who are connected with the club and an underage setup, also a bar in Stradbrook which helps things.

Would be nice to see Cabinteely do well in the first division. They've got a cracking marketing team with some of the stuff they've came out with and the more clubs we have the merrier. The Kerry District league have a team in the LOI u17's league so could have a Kerry team back in the league in a couple of years time and think the Mayo league have talked about trying the same thing.

2 0 result really flattered us last night, could easily have been a draw. I was impressed with Wexford who are actually trying to play a bit of ball but probably missing a bit of experience to nab something. Good of course to be winning dirty but we haven't clicked as I'd have liked, big week ahead for us.

Meanwhile up in Derry the usual scrotes have surfaced I see, is it Rovers fault again
