Mid-season friendlies

[Longfordian]

Very enjoyable game. As I flagged above, we aren't finishing any chances we create. Two or three cracking players in that United side tonight too. Most importantly a good crowd too. Up on 2,500 I'd say. If the weather was better we might have got a few more out.

[Dodge]

I trust thats enough to make a decent profit? No idea how much they charge for their reserve team.

Thats the only thing that matters with these games.

The Galway XI Squad has been named for the game against Port Vale in Terryland on Saturday night

Yeah, I think the cost of bringing them over was €8k so we should make a few quid out of it.

Cork City Reserves 0-2 Watford. A snooze-fest played at training match pace almost. 1200 at it roughly.

Could'nt have put it any better myself. The only game I am excited about is Shels on Friday.

[born2bwild]

With the exception of Shels' 0-0 v Milwall, League of Ireland clubs have lost every single friendly played this summer. Friendlies don't matter but that ain't good.
I'm betting on Limerick to take Man City, though.

[Longfordian]

Cork are definitely capable of winning tonight. It's a young United side.

[Fester]

Athlone Town v Port Vale tonight 7.45

[El-Pietro]

itll likely be a young City side too, lot of games this week, Shels Friday is huge

[Lim till i die]

I'd imagine a lot of the City lads will be looking to impress.

Like if we do somehow manage to get promoted we'll be looking to strengthen the squad in January.

You don't want to sow your hand too much before the Champions League draw in summer 2014 though

[Longfordian]

Cork have apparently sold out tonight. Mental how many people turn up for these games but a nice earner for the home clubs which is the main thing.

Are there any friendlies scheduled for August please?

[London-Irish]

Also, will the Limerick v Longford league game still take place on Fri Aug 3 with the Man City game and the LC Semi scheduled for a couple of days after?

Ya Longford is down for the 3rd, Man City the 5th and Shamrock the 6th.

We've a senior squad of 31 players so should be grand.

Obviously Longford is the priority. :ball:

[Longfordian]

Ah ye could play a mostly third choice side against us and ye'll still win it handy. Concentrate on the League Cup.

[Terry]

Are there any friendlies scheduled for August please?

Its not exactly a friendly, but a galway united/ west united legends -v- aston villa legends. Villa will have players from when they last won the league as well as former irish internationals like Paul McGrath etc, that played with villa down the years. Its to do with the renaming of Terryland Park to Eamon Deacy Park. Its on august the 18th

[The Donie Forde]

Anyone know where the Bohs XI v MK Dons was played today?
Thanks

[Stevo Da Gull]

Bray are playing the Liverpool reserves. Think it's on the 5th.

Salthill trying to stop the Galway XI -v- Port Vale match "in association with GUST and The Galway FA" from going ahead tomorrow night, on the grounds of them not approving the 36 page programme that has been published, because it was the GUST that put it together. They are saying that GUST have no right to publish a programme for this match as they have nothing to do with the Galway Oscar Traynor team ??????

[Charlie Darwin]

Their attendances are inflated too.

Sounds very petty to me. And who wants all these chummy clubs to merge? :rolleyes:

No idea, but they will be better than ticket sales of all of Salthill's league games put together no doubt.
