Shamrock Rovers appeal for fans to stay away from Tallaght Stadium for trophy presentation

Premier Division champions Shamrock Rovers have appealed for their fans not to congregate outside Tallaght Stadium tomorrow evening.

The Hoops will lift their 18th league title tomorrow evening at home to St Patrick’s Athletic – and the club are urging fans not to show up outside the ground.

“Shamrock Rovers issues an appeal to all supporters not to congregate around Tallaght Stadium on Wednesday evening,” a statement from the Hoops read today.

“Following discussions with An Garda Síochána, the club asks that all supporters observe health and safety advice as we remain in level 5 lockdown and refrain from gathering around the stadium at the league trophy presentation on Wednesday.”

The club added: “The club understands what this means to fans, everybody would wish that fans can attend games and celebrate winning, but it is just not possible at this time.

“In addition, the season will not end on Wednesday, we have more League and Cup games to go and the squad will remain focussed on the targets ahead. We will party when it is safe to do so.”
