    I,v become a Barstooler

    Sitting watching Skysports in local on sat afternoon i suddenly relised I now actually look forward to the weekend to do this ,having not seen live football since Galway Utd folded and beening a devoted league of Ireland fan for 20 yrs or more ,I never thought I would be on the other side of the fence ,where once I would have strongly defended that the only way to watch football was to support yourer local LoI club and shunned anyone who would have suggested otherwise ,I think im now a convert to the great "Premiership",,,,I wonder how many more out there have felt the same ,,sad realy

    I see leaving the LOI robbed you of grammar and punctuation too.

    If it makes you happy watching TV, then enjoy your weekends.

    It's a pity there's no League of Ireland football in Galway anymore alright.

    They have two clubs.

    Only Dublin and Galway have more than one club.

    Gufc supporters have not and will not go to the other games especially SDFC and anyone thinking otherwise is deluding themselves. Watching sky is no substitute for me but im facing 24 months without loi along with the 800 odd supporters we were getting in a season where we only won one match.

    5 years ago our average was well over 2,000 while Connacht Rugby were getting 1,500 but thanks to the FAI's Policy the average for a game in Terryland is less than 150 while Connacht are getting up to 9,000 great vision by the powers that be.

    The only type of football where Galway wipes the floor with everyone else is political football !

    We get our actual figures from disgruntled SD members who never backed the sell out and complete rebranding of their club. The vote on whether they should do this was taken after SDGFC had started playing in Terryland last season.Not all Limerick fans are as bitter as yourself and yout 2 or 3 keyboard heroes on here.Always had great time for Limerick and cant understand the total hatred of a supporters group fighting for the future of LOI football in Galway.

    Hatred would you get a grip. I went to a load of Galway games whenever they weren't playing the same day as Limerick and every time i did and there were GUST lads collecting i always contributed to try and help any small way i could when ye were in trouble i never wanted ye to go out of the league and i would love ye back in now. Just because i don't believe everything said on here by Galway fans is true and just because i think the attacks on Mervue and Salthill for being in the league by some Galway fans is stupid does not mean i don't want ye to be successful.

    Ah, I go to both clubs matches, mainly because I get 2 free season tickets dropped in my letter box each season.

    Unfortunately this thread might well have legs. It may well outlive SDGFC and Mervue Utd's time in LoI football.
