Cup Semi

[Mr Maroon]

Cork or Derry at home
Sunday 26th

[eamo1]

Id feel more confident if it was away from home to be honest but we are there and looking forward to it.we lost to Harps at home in a semi final on a Sunday afternoon about 10 seasons ago if i remember correctly.

[corbyeire]

thats right - there was a massive crowd down ~7000 in the ****ing rain

was it minogue who scored for them or is my mind playing tricks on me

[Mr A]

Speakie and Donal O Brien got the goals that day - they're here:

Great day, some crowd and a fantastic Harps side at the time.

[Mr A]

Class feature here from the cup meeting the year before: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-RDUWa7Lcc

That was my first ever visit to Terryland and to Galway and great craic it was too. I remember meeting the 3 Barbados lads in the Alley and they were dead sound. Lavine told me he would score a hat-trick at Finn Park in the replay.

He didn't though.

[Paddyfield]

We are potentially 90 minutes away from Europe.

If Bohs beat Pat's and reach the Final whilst also winning the League, then all we have to do is win our semi final and we will be in Europe. Bohs can't represent Ireland in 2 different European competitiions.

Mind you, that rule is changing next season which means beaten Finalists won't qualify for European.


Wishful thinking. We need to beat Cork in the League on Friday first.

[Trainee]

Lads Its a good draw

we have a great chance of beating either team
we could have beaten derry in league cup semi only for mark gough

Promo for this game has to start this week if we want 4,000+ people in terryland the whole of galway city and county must be made aware of this game and its importance


Lets hope the players will forget about the cup till for next 3 weeks as we have cork on fri,sligo sat week, and bray the week after as we need a min of 7 points to have a chance to stay up

I was thinking today is there any chance the semi could be played Sunday Evening or night?Does it have to be afternoon?It will take away alot of the atmosphere i think having it on Sunday afternoon.I suppose it has to be on at that time for t.v etc but its a shame.Terryland has been a lively place the last few home games in both stands and think will be a great atmosphere for this game.I just remember the Semi Final vs Harps in '98 on a Sunday afternoon was nowhwere near as good for atmosphere as the quarter final was vs Pats at night.Getting tickets tomorrow.

[WoodquayBoy]

They should try and move it back to the evening as itclashes with the county hurling final and the televised game between Chelsea and Liverpool, as far as I know. It is bad enough it is on the SUnday of a Bank Hoiliday, but those additional things will also hit the crowd figure

[corbyeire]

i suppose the atmopshere would be better in the floodlights but id say there is no chance of it changing once rte decided on the schedule

[gufct]

Club can do nothing about RTE calls the tune. Looks like the county final wont be on that sunday as Loughrea game is called off due to the death of Vinny & Johnny Mahers Mother.

dont forget there is a race meet up in ballybrit that it is clashing with also !

As for atmosphere, there used to be great atmospheres up there on sundays when it was the old terryland, in the old shed! Cant see why that cant happen again one more time?

[eamo1]

Great to see the staff in Zhivago know exactly what they are selling.The book of tickets is labelled "F.A Cup Tickets":o.

Hopefully it'l pursuade a few to go.

[pixiehead]

I know the ground will probably be full but is the TV camera still gonna face the old stand. It looks shocking at the LEague games. Can they not fix the one in the Old stand. Its bad advertisement on MNS:confused:

There's a problem with the gantry on the old stand.

[Metrostars]

Hi lads, I'll be back in Galway for the weekend, this will be a chance for me to see United for the first time in about 10 years. Will there be a big crowd? Do I need to tell my brother to get tickets now or can we get them at the field on Sunday?

[Patrick Dunne]

Crowd will be anything from 3,000 upwards. If you want a seat in the new stand, you would be advised to buy tickets beforehand. Otherwise, be at the ground by 2.45pm.

[gufct]

if you want to be guaranteed a stand seat you would need to get one rapid as tickets for Corribside are sellin quickly and Derry will have half the old stand

Bit weak at the back but confidence is sky high which could compensate for lack of strength.

Tickets available via ticketmaster I presume? Or will I actually have to travel up to Galway in the interim to get some?

Best case scenario for this season:
Connacht Cup Champions, FAI Cup Champions, qualify for Setanta Cup and Uefa Cup, finish 9th in the league.
Not too bad overall.
