Are you blaming Galway United for the FAI's desicion to promote us over you a few years ago?

In all fairness, Dundalk have a great record against Galway United. When ye played here last, there were around 500 Dundalk fans in Terryland and ye deservedly grabbed all three points.

The banter will be great when Dundalk visit Terryland next.

Galway is the best away trip. The fans are lovely, the pubs are great and the shopping is deadly. Pity it is so expense to stay there!

Dundalk at home, play it on a Thursday night. Most Dundalk fans would find it hard to travel mid-week but we could send Maxi a DVD.

**L37Ultra** · 15/12/2008, 12:56 PM

Cobh away or anyone crap at home so we can get off to a good start.

**Freddie Fox** · 15/12/2008, 3:36 PM

Shels ideally at home. Should get a good crowd, have good rivalry and hopefully encourage people to come back every week.

Yeah that would be great, i remember that well, fai cup (2nd leg as we had in those days) 1987 - diodnt the sligo fans come on the pitch and support the kram lads.

Rovers or Derry at home would be the ideal home game for us. Maybe I`d go for Derry actually as we have a good relationship with them - their fans were always a welcome sight to oriel and the lilywhite lounge (not that any other fans weren't!)

Hopefully it wont be a thurs night if its a home game

only coddin i can wait!!

Dundalk away for our 1st game and Shams at home for our 2nd as after having played their 1st game at home in 5 million years they will bring a bigger crowd than normal (which is normally okay anyway) and we always get a great crowd at out 1st home league game as well.

Hopefully we get Harps as our next home game and increase our lead at the top of the table.

There wasn't a big Fingal crowd at the game at Tolka recently so I wouldn't be too sure about that.

Theres a great piece in Eamonn Sweenys book (Theres only one Red Army) about the sligo boys joining the shams lads for a sit down protest at half time during that game.

Can a club request a certain team at home for their first game or is it down to luck?
