“The unofficial Sligo Town Tourist Site” are delighted to announce the during the last twelve months (August 1st 2006 -July 31st 2007), our website at http://www.sligotown.net received the staggering figure of 1,215,750 hits.

Website owner Chris Ridley said “I’m absolutely delighted with the figures, they are the best set of hit statistics we have ever received in the websites 5 year history.

The Unofficial Sligo Town Tourist Site was set up in 2002 in an effort to attract more people to visit Sligo Town on their holidays or for a weekend away.

The website is run solely by Chris Ridley as a personal project and has never received any form of funding from any tourism or government body.

Chris Ridley said “it’s not easy maintaining the website, its like having a second full-time job, but it’s a labour of love, I love Sligo Town, though I would dearly like to meet somebody who also shares an interest in the history and tourism potential of Sligo Town, in the hope that they could help in the writing of pages or taking photographs for the website”.
