v Kildare

will be intersting to see how many turn up for this one.more importantly though i really think we can run out easy winners in this game if we get an early goal.kildare players heads will drop with nothing to play for,thats how it should happen in theory but theres also a big chance it might not happen that way.
its all about a good start and going at them like we did to athlone.gethins and o'dowd should cause more problems.but kildare are a pysical side and we all know what happened against another physical side in our last home game.so lets try get a good atmosphere going again and cheer the lads on to our 8th win in 9 games,not bad at all:) .

the only difference is that we haven't played well at all against kildare in any game this year but we still have 7 points out of the 3 games. i'd fancy us to beat these fairly handily and make anothere big dent in rovers goal difference

Ditto.

I can see us putting another 5 past Kildare.Cobh will be the sticky game not Kildare.

ya cobh are an awkward team to play against alright. i'm still very confident that we can beat them, kildare and kilkenny and end up taking 33 out of the last 36 points available to us. if we do that and win nothing it just shows you how poor we were at the start of the season.
i'm not trying to say anything bad about lal, i know he gave his heart and soul everytime he represented galway be it on the pitch or off it but we can only wonder how this season could have turned out had tony cousins been here from day 1

I see Billy Clery is back training and Ronan Frawley played for the u21's yesterday and both are looking to make a comeback for the kildare game. check out www.galwayunitedfc.ie for more info

have tickets to be purchased in advance or will they be available on the night????

youll be fine on the night - kildare have nothing to play for so wont be bringing anyone

thanks

Tickets are on sale in Zhivago from today.We are asking people to buy them to ease congestion at the gates and also for supporters to get up there early and use the dyke road car parks as parking cannot be guarenteed.

We should get in excess of 2,000 at the game so the more that pre buy tickets the less hassle getting in.

cannot see people being in a rush to get tickets for this match for some reason!

I have talked to a lot of people who hadnt been at a game in years before the Rovers/Dundalk game and they were full of praise for the efforts on and off the pitch and were intending to go back on friday night. There is a great letter in todays Galway Independent along the same lines.

We dont expect to pre sell a huge amount of tickets but the more taht are sold the less time people will be queueing to get in.A small bit more Marketing by the club and we could have packed Terryland but thats anothers day work!

Will be brilliant end to the season no matter what. But as you said, it could be a question of asking what might have been. Same story as last few season - too many draws at home in games that we should have walked.
Still, fingers crossed for the last few weeks.
Pity the cats couldn't help us last night.

Should still be a decent crowd on Fri - just hope the message gets out there.
I think last sat's perf will have erased a lot of the damage of the Dundalk defeat in the minds of a lot of the new visitors to terryland

Nobody will buy tickets in advance of this game.Most people consider the league over now after the defeat to Dundalk.Although i believe we can still win it the main thing is we finish ahead of Dundalk.We'll be doing well to get 2000 there on Friday.Kildare are about as an attractive a fixture as Murphy's pub team.

the best thing to come out of the athlone game was the way the team responded to the disaster that was the dundalk match. they didnt let it bother them, just shrugged it off and got on with the job at hand. this attitude and 3 repeat performances should easily see us through our last 3 games

With Foley out does this mean Russell will start. That could be a very attacking lineup.

Will O'Donnell and Cretaro start as full backs, Cooke and O'Brien in front of them and O'Dowd and Gethins upfront.

I thought it was the cobh game Ciaran was suspended for but id be happier if it was this one. Expect no changes bar russeler or mixy for Ciaran if im wrong.

Russell should start.We have to win and should go for them from the first whistle. It's a pity Foley is suspended, he has been really impressive in the last couple of games.
heres my team
Gough
Cretaro Clery Charles Micko

Cooke Carter Russell O' Brien

Gethins O' Dowd

I would think he might go

Gough
Frawley...Clery...Charles...Reilly
Cretaro...O'Donnell...Carter...O'Brien
O'Dowd...Gethins

thats is if all players are available and injury free?

Also everybody next years seasons tickets will be on sale from tomorrow night at E175. There was a E25 discount coupon in the programme for the dundalk game too.
