Sligo Rovers are hopeful their application for state funding for their new stadium will bear fruit and leave them with one of the most up-to-date venues in the country.
And the club have thanked the late Tommie Gorman for the contribution he made in opening doors at Government level, which led to a visit to their Showgrounds home from Taoiseach Simon Harris.
