Athlone Town supporters group "Mad As Cootes" have invited
supporters of Galway United to meet up in "The Bounty" Bar at
Dubarry Park before Saturdays First Divsion game.
GUST expect our bus(es) to be there at approx. 6.30pm. We are
looking forward to meeting the Athlone lads for a pint or two before the game.
All of our supporters welcome.
I predict a riot............ I predict a riot!!!!:D :D
The standard of spelling on this forum is appalling. Are you going to Sligo IT,
Conor ?

I think you will find that you have omitted an apostrophe there Patrick. The misuse of punctuation on this forum is appalling.:D :D Perhaps you too have studied at SIT.Quote:

Tallaght IT and Tralee IT make a fine pair between them :eek:Quote:

the barkeeps would be mad to lose the custom the next night over something as trivial as colours - drink on!
There was nothing said to us about "no colours". One of the lads was talking
to a club official on Tuesday and nothing was mentioned.
If I hear anything different though I'll let you know as soon as I do.
I know with the Rovers game there was a private function in The Bounty and
so they limited the amount of people in the bar.
As far as Im aware they, along with a good few pubs in town got some advice
from the Gardai to keep things local.
In the case of the Rovers match too there was enough locals drinking in the
pub to keep the bank balance healthy so there was no need to have any
others in the bar who might cause bother. Seeing as a few "fans" started
throwing punches at the bouncers it was the correct decision on that
occasion. As always, a few idiots ruining it for the genuine supporters
I dont give a damn anyway
Im getting a pint in before the match!

PS Where in Da Town is it?
The only Athlone pub that I am familiar with is Gertie Brownes.
The Bounty is the Buccaneers RFC club bar at Dubarry Park.
sounds good there should be a good bit of banter before the game. we will show that we can have the craic together as we have done so with the rovers and dundalk fans. hope the result will go our way.
Yep and heard that at the Under 21 match as well tonight and no segregation either apparently.Quote:
