Well at least its a home tie looking forward to it
Any idea when its on?
how about everyone on here and the gust site trying to fill Terryland for the next few games. there is no point waiting on the club to do it.
How do you suggest we do that? Shepard 3,500 people through the gates?Quote:

Presuming no one has any idea when Derry game is on?
no date set yet but its due to be played on the first week of augustQuote:

Given John Fallon's links to Connacht rugby, would it have asked too much for a bit of prior consultaiton and discussion and fixed our semi-final for the night before? It is not rocket science
It is a semi-final,so every bandwagon jumping barstooler in Galway will be there that night.So i think we will get between 2-2,500 at it.Its the same old story really,i will be one of only a few hundred Galway fans in Thurles on Saturday but i guarentee if we win there will be thousands at the Quarter Final.
Thats poor to have it on same night as the rugby but because this is a cup competition i doubt Fallon or anyone could have done anything about it.Maybe could have pushed to have it the following night though.
You are conning youself if you think there will only be a few hundred from Galway at this game but i understand your point the Galway support are sunshine supporters.Quote:

The date most likely is the August Bank Holiday Monday (even though that isn't a Bank Holiday in Derry).
Cant wait!
My first 2 games back are Derry at home!:D
Where are you?Quote:

It's not a Bank Holiday up north AFAIK so this may restrict fans travelling from Derry. Nevertheless, they always bring a sizable following. Derry (and Cork) have the best fans in Ireland.Quote:

It's actually an un-official bank holiday in Derry.Quote:

was talking to a gang of lads after the match and they all said they were coming back down for the semi too before they jumped back into their mini bus, man I never seen lads so out of it in my life ! especially the guy with his face painted red and white :)
I had a great chat with a Derry fan who had to be at work on Saturday morning at 7am in BELFAST eventhough he lives in Derry.Quote:
