I'm working on Friday but Athlone's proximity means that I can leave a bit early, get the 17.50 train and get in to the "heart of the midlands" in plenty of time. I'm not very confident at all for some reason and would readily accept a draw and a good crowd/gate in Terryland the following Tuesday.

If any of ye are down early, Durty Harrys (on Mardyke Street) is pub sponsor
for Mad As Cootes-Independent Athlone Town Supporters Club so call in
for a pint and a bit of banter.

Its in the middle of town, and a 5 min walk away from Mels.

Are you expecting much home support to turn out for this match Ash?
Ash
25/05/2006, 2:25 PM
Hard to know to be honest.
So far, our home crowds haven't been great. Same as last season.

Only thing is with Galway being a "local" darby game and it being the
cup and all it might bring a bigger crowd than usual.

Also the family connections with Mickey O'Connor, Colin Fortune
and Ronan Frawley might get a few more heads in.

And with the few other players to wear both colours, Eric especially
it hopefully will entice more people to head to Mels.

I'm still going for 1-0 to Athlone, Eric with the goal and Billy Cleary
sent off.

Actually I hadn't meant it to be a pun, but I'm claiming it now :)

Screech was a legend in the heart of our defence, along side
Barry "The Terminator" Murphy :)

why do you want billy clery off ash.......

nobody likes billy, which he enjoys

Do you remember the season he scored the winner against Pats at home to stay up? well, if we didnt win it we were relegated and waterford would have stayed up. The result was so late getting to waterford they were sure that they had survived and were celebrating when the news eventually did arrive. After this they set up a "we hate billy clery website" or something like that anyway :D :D

Theres something about him that always struck me as him being a bit
of a whiney, mouthy cnut.

He was supposed to be joining us last season aswell, apparently, and had
agreed terms and all before having a change of mind.

Frank Darby was truly a legend of the former era of the League of Ireland. People often bemoan being able to hear the players such is the lack of atmsphere but it was worth it when he was in action. He was also one of the ungainly footballers I've ever seen.

And every free kick he took, just after making contact with the ball he'd slide
along the ground on his knee. Pure Continental :D
