I’ll share my reasoning. Could it be a long stone’s throw to the pitch from there?

The White Horse, because Rovers supporters traditionally marched behind a white horse to the Cup Final.
ncc, correct me if wrong, the last game at milltown in 1987 was a cup semi vs sligo ironically which Rovers won before they went on to play dundalk in the final…
is there a link between this sligo / SRFC 87 cup semi and the march?

Cash will be fine mate, might even donate some to the transfer kitty. Yes I expect to be going.
Did Rovers win the league in the end, NCC, mate? Was away for the weekend and Bloomberg’s coverage of LOI is patchy enough.
we certainly did mate

Well done, great to see tradition win out in the end.
Great story too, shame The White Horse had its soul ripped out some years ago. Was a great pub.
