Can you name me 3 of the 56 junior clubs in Galway that will have the Gufc fixture posters up on their main enytrance in their clubhouse. Stop talking 3rd hand ****e.
There will be no shortage of support on that end for development at terryland

Jes! What the hell is wrong with you? I dont know why Im replying to crap slander like this but:

For your info another councillor told me the story and I would respect everything that person would tell me to be fact and not some sort of arse talk as to so aggressively put it.

I would find it hard to name 3 junior clubs that have a clubhouse never mind that put up posters.

From what I hear plans are not finalised for the
new stand and work is ongoing with regard to this.

The ceremony in Terryland was for publicity and just a reminder to those
in high places that Terryland Park will be looking for additional funding.

Jesus, do I have to write the article for you. :rolleyes:

I'll get you started anyway. Headline: "New Stand in the Pipeline" OR "Minister turns Sod on new stand"

Not trying to pick sides or anything - but i think there has to be some good reason why there isint mention of it on the website

true as you say terry there is not much to report - but it would tie in with uniteds supposed progressive image that has been lauded a lot of late - coupled with the fact that promotions will be based on other things such as licences, capacity etc. whatever they are going to decide for this new league

as you said they had the minister turn the sod - and you stated this was to bring attention to the whole stand scheme - well surely plastering his picture on the site would bring attention - the minister is behind it etc. etc.

there seems in my opinion something more to this that you cant talk about that GUFC has the thing subdued for the time being

to be honest on the website there is plenty of trivial stuff reported from time to time - I would have imagined this would have made the grade even if it is only the beginings

time will tell etc...:confused: :confused: :confused:

Perhaps it could have made the website, the webmaster normally puts up any press releases etc that the club sends out.

In fairness to the webmaster, most of the information he puts up is either match previews/reports, GUFC fundraisers or GUST results. This might be mundane, but its essential work and much appreciated.

For example,a certain massive, huge club from the North West has its Lotto results displayed - from June 2005 ! :eek:

I agree, the webmaster does a great job (voluntarily I may add) and long may it continue. If someone wants to write an article themselves Im sure he would be glad to put it up (Send it to me and I'll forward it on). He doesnt write every article himself as he has a fulltime job to get on with also, so doesnt get to attend everything that goes on at the club.

im not saying the mundane things are not important at all

I just thought that when there is something that would make the grade for the website - the webmaster would jump on it

Fair point. In future, send him an e-mail (info@galwayunitedfc.ie) and I'm sure he'll be glad to include any information you have. Neil Rowe is his name, he is very approachable.

well terry can you give us such a broad hint about who your informant is and why are you hiding behind such rumour. u also must know little about the junior scene if you havent seen the improvements in club facilities in the last 5 years. anyway i really dislike comments about people that are cloaked in innuendo if you have something to say, say it or shut up and not put unsubstantiated comments about areas of galway or their representatives on the site. As pd said there are no issues with Galway corporation outstanding in relation to Terryland

First off it is against the websites policy to go naming people on this site without the approval of that person.

Secondly why should I give a sh*t about junior football and there facilities? this thread is about our facilities in terryland, I never mentioned about junior football in the first place, it was you that brought it up not me.

thirdly and finally, can someone tell me are we getting money from the corporation and UEFA on top of the grant from the FAI?

To the best of my knowledge, the only money that can currently be drawn down is from the Dept of Sport. I wouldn't rule out future funding from the Dept of the Gaeltacht.

The club get a small payment every year from UEFA as a solidarity payment.
I can't see any additional payments forthcoming from them.

I am not aware of any payments due from the Galway Corporation.

galway corpo issued a E100,000 grant two years ago which will be drawn down when work starts

thats great money to be getting from the corpo - so happy times are ahead then?:D
