Harps play, umm, Dergview.
Get your tickets early folks.
Date and time tbc but with the expected demand we hope to have it sold out within days.
Hopefully the FAI don't block our attempts to play this glamour game.

They played us and Shels last season (beat us 1-0 and Shels 3-0) so wouldn't be surprised if that's the case.

Couldn't really increase them for a Chelsea youth side.
Pats palyed a similar side in 2009. About 2,500-3,000 at it. Pretty sad that games against youth teams bring in decent money for our clubs, but as long as they do...

The one time record attendance for a match in Flancare Park or Mullologher as it was then was for a Man Utd u16s match against a local selection. About 4,000 at it in 1995 or 1996 I think. There's not been many bigger since.

GUST are pleased to announce that Mickey Adams is bringing Port Vale FC to Terryland Park to play a Galway Soccer Selection in association with GUST and The Galway FA.
A management team that includes Tommy Lally (GUST), Derek O Loughlin (Hibs) and Anthony Francis (Hibs) are busy assembling a squad for this fixture, and training starts this week.

Good old Micky Adams, he's over almost every year fair play to him. Never been back to Longford since World War 3 erupted on the building site that was Flancare Park at the time. Match abandoned at half time with players and management fighting their way to the dressing rooms. I think it was 2001 when he was with Brighton.

Football is coming home in Galway ! Bring on 2013 !

Brought Leicester to play Pats in (our) pre-season 2004. Eamon Collins organised it and said "well I know he likes a gargle or two so I just had to ask..."

thats great news , the rumour was all over shop street yesterday alright. One man from oughterard said it had been like a death in the family and he was going to bring all his extended family to Terryland for a party that day to celebrate the comeback of United. I think i will do the same
Supporters groups from all over the country are welcome supporters will show they wont let their league die
Galway United will never die

Glentoran - Derry City on Saturday 7th July at the Oval at 3pm.
More for the Glens benefit than ours, I assume, since we've UCD away the night before.

Cork City v Blackburn on 12 August confirmed
Pats due to play Cork on the 10th, but if we reach the Europa 3rd round (getting by the Icelandic and Bosnian teams), I'd have expected our game to be moved to that 12th date
Athlone Town v Port Vale, 24th July

This was raised on the ccfcforum site. One poster suggested that, as the FAI have sanctioned the friendly on the 12th, then they can't give us 2 fixtures on the same day and hence, the Pats game would have to be played on another date. Not sure if this is true. IMO, the Blackburn game should not have been sanctioned with this scenario possible. League fixtures should take precedence.

Wasn't suggesting Cork done anything wrong. I'm just guessing the league didn't even think to check. Same way they announce fixtures each year the day after European games are due to be played, despite knowing definitely which clubs are involved. They only changed the games last week...

The FAI are doing a great job...........
why would the FAI deny Cork a friendly opportunity based on a game for Pats that is as likely to not happen as it is to happen? The first leg of the first round hasnt even been played yet FFS! Im all for criticism of the FAI but thats just nitpicking.

I wasn't trying to make it a big deal (and I don't think we'll get through). Just thought it interesting it was confirmed as opposed to (*pending the result...)
The scheduling of league games for the day after euro games for Pats, Bohs and Sligo really does bug me though. Euro calendar known well before fixtures announced

This man is the reason all Micky Adams Teams have used Ballygar as their Base, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Kenny .GMB Sponsored Fulham when Mickey was Manager There and his Parents are from Ballygar. GMB have also had meetings in Ballygar.
