Dublin City did exist before the Carrolls deal came about btw, and had Shelbourne answered a message left on their answering machine then it is more than likely that Dublin City would have had nothing to do with Carrolls. As a small, fledgling club, we were never going to turn their offer down when it came our way. It gives prospective fans a very easy access point to supporting the club. Helped me a few years ago anyway.
Oh and on the "winning the league" thing. Didn't realise people considered that the Premier was the only "league" that could be won. For me whether you're in a Junior Div 3 or EL 1st Division league, if you come first, you have won the league...just the way I see it. Didn't mean to rise above my position as a supporter of a "joke", "makey-uppey", "franchise" "mickey mouse" and generally sh*t football club. :o
What bull****!!.I always see GUFC jersey's around town,even on people who don't go to the matches.I have never ever seen someone wearing a Sligo jersey and im living here a lot longer than you.Also College Till I Die had previously mentioned that he saw quite a few when he was in Galway for a while and yet you saw none in 3 years. :rolleyes: Doubt it!Quote:

According to the Star, because of a supply problem with hurling jersies, GUFC gear sold out last week. There is certainly none available in city centre shops at the moment.
Students in Galway often wear their teams jersey, so Longford, Harps tops can be seen out and about. Sligo Rovers supporters generally don't wear colours, for reasons of personal safety :D
Very few I'd say...Quote:

Also few Longford jerseys about Letterkenny IT as well.
Most jerseys I'd see about concerts like Oxegen, Electric Picnic etc are Derry, Rovers and Bohs. Always make a point of saying hello.
apparently its trua about home farm dublins jerseys outselling the rest of the EL teams, but selling 2 jerseys for E40 to american tourists its hardly surprising
Don't worry about it, just don't let it happen again :pQuote:
