Are ye delighted with that so?
Was there not a rumoured name-change a while back there to Galway Salthill Devon or something like that?

We currently still have the use of Drom for training.

There is still a lot of work to be done. The club should be vested in the community through the Galway FA, the Supporters Trust and other interested parties who are committed to the longterm development of Galway United FC.

Of course we are happy, we want the club as a single entity and not to be governed by another clubs directors. The name change was a worry but turned out to be rumours in the end, thank god!

As far as training in the drom, of coarse! They are not going to stop taking our money for using it!!

They were there to save us when we needed them and they always acted with Honesty and integrity. They also saved senior football in Galway and have contributed hugely to the people of Galway with the facilities in Drom.

I wish them well and thank them for their efforts

I was thinking with the old board taking the reigns again, there would be some sort of mission statement or indication of intent .... i dunno .... just a "we are back and we'll be doing X, Y and Z"

The board that was in place before salthill left is the same board there is now. None of them are assosiated(sp?) with salthill, except for maybe being supporters. GALWAY UNITED FC ARE GOING NOWHERE EXCEPT UP !!!!:D

Happy days are here again but its going to take a lot of effort from one and all to keep it going in the right direction.
