Galway Away

[adamd164]

That's our draw.

Here's an interesting one- Shels vs Derry!!


UCD vs TTFKAHFFFC - there'll be some crowd at that!!!!

[kevincronin2000]

Away to galway before a trip to Derry . Not the worst draw in the world might have to bring them back to the cross.

[sligoman]

Although it should be an easy enough game for ye. :ball:

GALWAY ROCKS best town in the country for an over nighter. looking forward to it a lot, being there a few times this year with work, great crack and nice people. you should allow 3 1/2 hours on a friday if travelling by car, good nite life in the centre and not too far from terryland

I have sampled the nightlife in Galway many times already.. :D ..always a good night out there..hopefully we can celebrate a good victory.. ;)

[Patrick Dunne]

I'm sure that you will enjoy your stay in Galway. Complimentary food will be served in Kates Bar after the game. Win, lose or draw, we won't attack your buses with stones like sligomans friends two years ago.

I would advise Sligo supporters to concentrate on their game against Malahide. The last time they played a mickey mouse pub team from Dublin at home in the FAI Cup, they were humiliated. Well done, Bluebell. :D

I hope that the Bluebell bus wasn't attacked by locals with stones, or indeed members of the local ethnic community on motorbikes with guns.

Again, I look forward to the visit of Cork City and their supporters. Apologies for referring to our "massive" neighbours, but we can't slag them off on other fora because they are "sensitive". Poor dears.

[thecorner]

Away to galway in between trips to Derry and finn harps. Not the worst draw in the world might have to bring them back to the cross.

harps is at home ;)

[shedhead]

Go on Cork, We will all be rooting for ye up here

[pete]

Good draw. Nice excuse for weekend in Galway.

[Patrick Dunne]

I would like to wish Sligo Rovers well against Dublin pub side Malahide.
I will not be "rooting" for Malahide. :rolleyes:

[thecorner]

looking forward to this one though. should be a great trip

[rebs23]

This is going to be one hell of a trip!!

[Eire06]

It'll be a tough match..
It'll be great having you lot up for a bit of banter...

You should all try and enjoy the top class Galway Nightlife, cause hopefully you won't be enjoying the match :D ;)

I'll be praying for a shock victory.. :rolleyes:

[paudie]

Any possibility that TG4 might pick this as one of their live games for the year?

With Galway being the closest team to their HQ and City being a relatively big draw.

[Patrick Dunne]

Would have thought that this would be a strong possibility.

[Terry]

there would be no harm in e-mailing them at sports@tg4.ie and asking them if they would have any interest in viewing this game. :o

Thought the HQ was Waherfort ??
The admin etc. is Galway but the camera crew are from Waherfort.

I could be wrong though, i have been known to be wrong on one or two occasions in the past. Although there is a very slim chance of this happening, it still should not be overlooked !! ;)

[pineapple stu]

UCD vs TTFKAHFFFC - there'll be some crowd at that!!!!
Would have thought you'd be delighted that they won't be getting a big gate receipt! ;)

We played the likes of Monaghan, Kilkenny, Cobh, Limerick etc. last season - well used to it by now; crowd'll be an average last season crowd really.

[ccfcgirl]

I emailed tg4 .More fans might travel though if it wasnt on tv .Im looking forward to this match ,ive never been to Terryland park before.The night life is excellent in Galway.

it was answered in another thread a rew weeks ago but......
Nemeton from Waterford are the crowd who have the cameras at the games.
tg4 buys the "product" from Nemeton and shows it on their screens.

[A face]

anyone know who's second bottom of the first division?

Ohh ... any chance you lot get to stick in the knife !! :)

[Conor H]

anyone know who's second bottom of the first division?
Anyone ask for your comment :rolleyes:

[dahamsta]

Here folks, save me a bit of time here: Wasn't red til dead warned about this kind of thing before? Because if he was, he's due a suspension now, right?

adam

[A face]

Ah tis only a bit of harmless fun. Hes alright is RTD !!

[RedX]

Absolutely embarrassing..thats all i can say.. :rolleyes:

[Peadar]

Where are people planning on staying in Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllweeeeeeeey?

Jurys Inn (http://www.jurysdoyle.com/index.php?hotel_pid=20016) is €125 per room but if you had 3 sharing, you'd be sorted.
There should be plenty B&B's.
At least it's not the holiday weekend anyway.
Is anyone planning on staying for the Saturday as well?

It's going to be some week for me.
Israel on the Saturday, Faroe Islands on the Wednesday and then City on the Friday.

[thecorner]

dunno. still waiting to see buses go up on official site about it... be great to have 2 buses stay over

Oh no we'll have to lock up all our girls for fear of them meeting a Cork man!!! ;)

very nice buachaill's down here....never know. some corkies might get a farmers daughter up there ;)

[Peadar]

We'll be seeking advice from the Department of Agriculture before we travel to ensure that we have the necessary vaccinations.
Can't be too careful when dealing with a cailín from the Wild West. :D

any gentlemans clubs up there????

[Eire06]

They are practicing evacuation techniques already.. Digging bunkers and putting up 'anti-cork' shelters for the poor young innocent Galway Girls in preparation for your arrival....

They have to be protected, they would not be used to your wild men..
A local health warning has already been issued and every household is being supplied with a special pack to protect us from the invasion...
Like the iodine tablets we all got from the government a while ago.. but they contain extra strong mints and sweet smelling perfumes everything that will repel the rough Cork bunch
:D

Your ment to be minding us ya brat ya :D

[Peadar]

Yeah and Eire06 should be able to get you a discount in the one where she works.
It's a bit of a low class joint but that's appropriate since we'll have been in Terryland earlier. :D

[Éanna]

Good draw. Nice excuse for weekend in Galway.
my thoughts exactly. haven't been up for a few days in galway in 2 or 3 years- far too long!

[Terry]

if yer looking for somewhere to stay, try the travelodge. 10 minute walk from terryland and eyre square, plus its only E49 per room per night.

Poor Peadar is my best client...
He has to come all the way from Reading cause no one else would have him, I had to take pity on the sorry sight...

I do feel sorry taking money from no hopers like him, but sure the only way they are going to see girls dance for then is to pay them I'd rather the money in my pocket... ;)

Travelodge is actually E99 per night that weekend..

[kevincronin2000]

fcuk they heard the rebel army are on the way.

[Peadar]

Is that per room, like the Jurys Inn?

[Eire06]

Is that per room, like the Jurys Inn?
yep..

Its E49 during the week and E99 at weekends I think..
Look it up on
www.travelodge.ie

[Peadar]

Its E49 during the week and E99 at weekends I think...

Thanks Eire06.
Do you know any good B&B's?
There might be a pint in it for you if you can assist the Rebel Army with their travel plans. :)
