I wasn't even a shade surprised when gufct rang me with the good news. This is vindication for what Nial and everyone has done, they deserve a place in Galway United history.
Whatever it means to you sods living at home, for those of us living in Dublin, this is just manna from heaven.
Great news.
Kind of weird to go up like this but I suppose it's just rewards for people like Niall O Rielly, Neil McNeilis, Nick Leeson and everyone else behind the scenes at Terryland.
Can't wait for some big games and hopefully Cousins will sing a few quality players too!
well done galway .Gonna be great to have away trips to the west .Fcuk you dundalk .Rot in the graveyard for at least another year :)
gobsmacked - still cant believe it
crazy with over 5 pages of posts in the last hour,unreal.its mostly b*tching dundalk fans.so thats where the b*tch storm is taking place,not here.couldnt care less.
so now theres so many questions,is barry ryan our new signing???who will be let go????how often will we be on t.v???:) .
def getting my season tic before christmas now,was gonna wait till after but demand will be huge now.they might get the 700 there looking for afterall.
i like that idea of a statue of niall and nick:) .
To all the people who doubted my expertise knowledge on us been there...........I be you've never been so glad i was right!!!!!:D
WE ARE PREMIER LEAGUE SAY WE ARE PREMIER LEAGUE!!!!:cool:
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!
back where we belong :)
first of all-i think you meant to say "couldnt" instead of could.anyway if you knew your facts youd know galway utd didnt "spend money they dont have",in the last year companies like Harrmack,AerArann,H.P have stepped up and put money into the club,guys like niall o reilly and nick went out looking for these type of companies and got them.the club stuck to a pre-planned budget and didnt "spend money recklessly".those were 2 reasons why we scored highest in the off the field criteria.GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT.
Well Done GUFC, see ya'll next year in the PREMIERSHIP
Premier league. Nice one well done to all involved:D
So it's wrong to spend a lot of money Stephen and still make a profit for the season?
Commiserations to those who missed out but this is the process the clubs voted for.
party on tonight in foxes bar to celebrate our rise into the top tier of irish football, everybody here better be there
party in Drogheda to celebrate craptown not going up .You coming down Stephen ? M hughes about 8.30 or :D soQuote:

major reshaping of the squad is required as sooo many players cant cut or wont cut it there!
corby
You might have to move back up here now to see us every second week
:)
Utd get what they deserve, finishing 3rd in the off the field criteria, Nial, Daniel and Nick and adrienne deserve legend status whoooooo:)
yea - imagine i was thinking that ha ha!!
Just realised with Wateford gone we're Corks nearest rivals next year!!!
I think Pat's have that dubious honor Conor
Really?Quote:

Very sad, well i suppose it must be nice having something to celebrate seeing as you wont have anything to celebrate for winning anything.Quote:

Congrats to all involved. Absolutely delighted.
Exactly.I hope no ill feeling develops between us.Best of Luck in 07.Quote:

i wonder if dundalk winning play-off did dey inadvertibly get us da last place which mite'nt av been giving otherwise or wud we av passed waterford and/or bray anyway??. on another note dundalk have da possibility of going to court but if im not mistaken they can take it to the FAI no problem but FIFA lawz if im not mistaken forbid teamz going outside da jurisdiction which wud lead to sanctions in europe etc... for da league, will be interesting to see wat transpires over da next few weekz
Great news Galway are back in the Premier league. Fantastic away trip for us Derry fans..See you's next season and well deserved too...
Ah poor pet .Have you forgotten we actually did win a trophy this season. Think it was called the setanta cup :)Quote:

can everybody just remember that the on the field results were based on the last 5 years and not the last season. So for the last couple of seasons i know we finished a long way above dundalk. You all signed up for it all so stop the bitching but we will wave hello as we go on to play the only team in louth. by the way dufc good luck against the northern boys in the setanta cup. please beat linfield.
Cheers Louth4Sam, ye were all a sound bunch of lads as well that i met that evenin n foxs (if u were 1 of them)...Quote:

Mind you the journalist covering the story for them reminded everyone of his club allegiance!!
according to that we finished top for off the field (so far) with UCD in a close second !!!!!
You idiot! GUFC operated with a surplus this year slashing debt by 50% these are facts. Its not the way we would have preferred to go up but the board and volunteers of all clubs knew 18 months ago what had to be done so fair deal....... if you guys are well run you might get in if Shels fail to sort their house out.....but wait a minute.....Waterford finished ahead of you guys too! Stop your moaning take it on the chin like we would have had we not got in (with the exception of Conor H i suppose!)Quote:
