I'm pretty sure a team requires more than one person.

There was a bigger turnout than I was expecting TBH, I think the official attendance was given as 405, not bad considering it was the Galway Oscar Traynor team and Port vale aren't exactly a crowd puller. When we were in the Premier we would usually get about 150 at our home friendlies to put it in perspective.

The next big event is the Chick Deacy friendly, I can see that being very well attended by lots of people from across Galway and beyond.

Great to be back in Terryland

Was at the port vale friendly, no more than 70 or 80 there and at least half were port vale fans. Went round and counted myself! #someonehadtosayit

Happy out

405 for the Galway District league junior team wasnt bad at all. Considering Salthill add on their 65 season ticket sales to all home games it approximates to about 8 times the actual attendance against longford the night before in an airtricity league game.

Port Vale won 3-0, roll on the Eamonn Deacy game Galway Utd /West Utd V Aston Villa now for the second installment of the trilogy comeback of Galway United on the 18th of August

The Galway District league authorised the event, audited the gate, were the organisers are a busy organisation running leagues, have never been excluded from football by low lifes, why would they do that. Good man regi up Salthill id say your nights are mixed up a little, keep blaming the arts festival when ya can only rustle up 26 of your 600 members to find their way to Terryland

Game is to be televised. ESPN supposedly.

Discounts for season ticket holders and the underage academy players and families.

Bringing a full squad over. From what I hear at least 6 starters guaranteed with Auguero, Tevez and a new signing to play.

16,000 at it according to extratime.ie dissapointing crowd considering all the hype and the fact that they are premier league champions.

The bitterness is strong with this one. Disappointing to see a crowd like this watching a Limerick team alright :rolleyes:

Pretty awful first half an hour. Stopped watching then just after Man City scored. Had to laugh when they took Nasri off and the crowd booed.

They had their full side out against Wolfsburg last night as expected.

Clubs have never had a problem attracting big crowds for games against foreign teams. See how many of them are back the next time ye play a league match is the problem. A

It finished 4.0 to Man City. 15,600 of the 16,000 attendance will go home happy.

Any truth in the claims of someone throwing a banana at Clichy? Just read it in a Tweet from Barry Glendenning of The Guardian.

Saw it posted on Twitter by Gael Clichy https://twitter.com/gael_22 and Facebook as well by local Limerick lads

Some idiot who wouldnt even know where Jackman Park is more than likely.

Oh no doubt it's some local knuckle dragger who has nothing to do with Limerick FC but it's shameful stuff.

As expected a few starters, more than most teams would get. Disappointed no Augero, ballotelli or Tevez but at the end of the day was just a decent night out for us. We left out Gaffney and O'Leary ha.

17,000ish is a nice crowd too and we seem to have done very well jersey and scarf sales wise.

Banana thrown on the pitch alright and the people who did it thrown out. As expected thousands there that have never seen a loi before. Same lads that threw the banana wre probably cheering usain bolt an hour later.

There was over 20,000 given as attendance where are people getting the 16,000.
