Mick Wallace TD

Anyone up for a small demo at the Dáil when Mick arrives to take his seat? Wearing club colours but with something pink as well ... or am I out of my mind?

PS first ever League manager to take a Dáil seat or not? - all the other sports people I can think of were either GAA or (occasionally) rugby-related.

Footnote: I suppose we'd have to serve Italian wine and focaccio for a while, to complete the picture!

Worrying plans announced to build an 8,000 all seater in Enniscorthy under the lee of Vinegar Hill as a "training ground" for the Youths, and a 16,000 all seater in Wexford town with plans to install an academy somewhere on the outskirts (not yet disclosed location). And the rumours doing the rounds in Milan this evening of bringing Chivu, Sneijder and Eto'o in on loan until the end of 2013. Worrying, but it's the LOI so what else should we expect.

Well, we'll just have to up the ante and invite Trap & JD as well!

How ironic that the fixture list has both of these fellas club's playing each other Friday.

A Property Developer topping the poll after all that's happened to state - what's not to celebrate?

It's well seeing Mick is fond of the 'old lady', unlike say someone associated with the rossoneri

Michael D Higgins is the Honorary President of Galway United. He goes to most home games and often goes to away games too. He attends meetings and is happy to do interviews for the club.

Here is a video of when Mario Rosenstock met Michael D at Galway united fund raiser.

Ok, lots of supporters/involved - but managers?

Great idea, I am sure there must be 20+ or so members who work nearby and would turn up to shake the hands of MW and JOB on the way in if we knew their ETA!
