So them first time in a long time we will have played them in a league fixture. Hopefully we can keep our unbeaten streak of two games going and get a win over them Saturday night. Anyone know if McKenna will be fit in time? Really want to see us win this one.
We hate Athlone and we hate Athlone.....
Wont be there meself unfortunately. Hopefully we will smite our fellow Midlanders down!!
Whatever happens Saturday night you will be forever in our shadow:p
Wouldn't be so sure about that;)Quote:

Cant wait for this one, great to have a local derby to look forward to, and 3 points would be great
Going home for my first game of the season. Can't wait for this one! Bring it on.
It must be one of the only matches in LOI where people attend and don't go to another match until the teams meet again
I won't even be at this one:D
One day to go! Cant fecking wait. Hope there is a good crowd at it. To all the lads in Section O bring every flag , scarf, novelty hairbrush you can find :) Get in there early and make yourselves heard. I shall be there hobbling and may have to sit down watching the game. Going to be very odd.....
believe the game is now a seven thirty kick off game... long time waiting for this local derby in the league and we want revenge for them knocking us out of a penalty shootout last season...
Looking forward to this one. Should be a bit of an edge to it given that there's so many ex-players of either team involved. McKenna is apparently fit again too so he should be another option up front. It'd be nice to get the three points.
and we have fsix ex athlone players the four we signed from athlone in preseason plus iarlaith davoren gary murphy. athlone have two lavine and byrne. Im sure Lavine will get a great reception from us...
That's a GUFC song.Nice of ye to take it.Quote:

On the game,been waiting for a long time for this,hopefully Athlone will bring a big crowd!Should be a big crowd in section o!I think me and a good few of the boys will be popping into jonh joes around 6 to get things going early!Dont agree with the 7.30 kick off,a 7.30 kick off always means that people wont stop coming in until at least 7.45...
The ko is def at 7.30 right? Only I had someone ring me to say it was 7...:confused: Dont wanna arrive late and miss all the goals we're gonna score in the first half:p
eircom League of Ireland First Division

Have you not played at 7:30 all season?
its down at 7pm on the site....
It's down as 7 in the left hand pane, but corrected as 7:30 in the match preview. It is also down as 7:30 in the latest League fixtures.
