A few of us heading down alright.
Finn will be automatically banned from this, yeah. Hopefully it'll confuse Wallace!
What time is kick off guys? Wexford Youths website has it at 7.30, another website at 7.45pm and Aertel :rolleyes: at 8pm that last time I checked!
8pm I thought, but that was going by Aertel.
I think the FAI e-mail release has it at 8 as well.
Edit - UCD website says 8pm too.
When Conor Sinnott took over as PRO he decided to change the games to an earlier kick off time to try accomodate more families.
The Youths website gives 7.30 as kick off time and here's the article about the change to 7.30, although it only specifically refers to the Athlone game.

Cheers.
So is it 7:30 then?
Might be worth rining the club to double check. I think there's a few contact numbers on the website. Some of the other Youths fans that are based in Wexford and actually get to the games might also be able to confirm it!
What's the story with that bar of yours? Is it a wine bar or a proper Mick Wallace restaurant or what? Best is to aim to be down for 7:30 anyway and hope we can get a nice bit of grub if we're well early!
7.30pm kickoff lads..overheard from horses mouth!
def is a 7.30 KO. The complex does not have a restaurant that sells to the public there is wine available for those who wish to have a drink. If early enough Wallace has a restaurant next to Burger Mac in EnniscorthyQuote:

Strange. Extra half hour to get down there though; might be needed!
Is this the first League or Competitive game UCD have played at Ferrycarrig Park?
I passed a Bar Italia coffehouse today, but I don't think it was a Mick Wallace place.
Wexford Youths 0:1 UCD AFC
John 'Rocco' Reilly goal mid-way through the first-half, stops the rot and gives UCD another away win. UCD have taken points from everyone else in the Division and have only failed to beat Waterford Utd. so far in the League.
Gotta keep mounting up the points. Plenty of matches to go. Nice win tonight.
It's the first competitive first team game anyway, we had a friendly there but I think it was played on the back pitch. I don't know if we've played under-20/under-21 league games there.Quote:

Thought Bolger was exceptional in the middle. Was he ex-Wexford Youths? Harding looked impressive enough when he came on as well. Maybe is a better option than Matthews I think.
There was an amazing culture difference in football as well. Was it only one shot Wexford Youths had on target? It's some set up down there - fair play to them.
No, Bolger never played for them. He was excellent last night- our midfield was non existent when he went off with a knock.
Harding's performances have been better than Matthews' this season but don't know what impressed you about him last night. Practically all of Wexford's attacks late on came from their left wing as they kept getting in behind him. In fairness to him though, if we had a manager who was at least half decent tactically, or even worse than that, we would not have been under so much pressure late in the game. Based on recent performances we are definitely not going to finish in the top three.
Bolger's been with us since before Wexford entered the league. He's from Wexford though so he probably played for some of the underage teams that Wallace was involved with. I assume that's what the extratime report meant, though it's a bit disingenuous. Was this mentioned in the programme?
I'm 99% certain he never played for them.
