Rovers Show Racism the Red Card

Shamrock Rovers is the first club in Ireland to be a partner of Show Racism the Red Card. To mark this development, Show Racism the Red Card has printed 5,000 posters of the squad holding the red cards to racism. In a bid to win the support of all sections of society the club feel it is important to have a robust stand against racism.




It is to be shortly followed by similar initiative with Drogheda United and Galway United. In each area players from the club are lending their support to the campaign. In each borough schools, youth organisation and others are invited to bring Show Racism the Red Card to deliver seminars and combine this with involvement by players.

SRFC Director Mark Lynch: "We are delighted to say that we will have an A3 sized 2006 Squad poster for everyone at our next home game v Kilkenny City at Tolka Park on Friday 7th April. These full colour posters are free and will be handed out at the entrance to the ground just after the turnstiles.

These posters are part of the Show Racism the Red Card initiative that Shamrock Rovers is delighted to be involved with as a club partner with the PFAI".

Show Racism the Red Card co-ordinator Garrett Mullan said: "This is good for the club because it demonstrates to all that they are a club for all while it is excellent for our campaign because it spreads the message of Show Racism the Red Card".
