Good to hear that at least one of those believes is wrong

oh devlin is gone alright. was ment to announce it at the end of last season. but didn't for some reason. unless he's going to do a u-turn again. I dunno

Might get into trouble over this but wasn't Pat Devlin a major shareholder in Bray??

Athlone haven't been a big draw since the early 80's even in Galway where Bar one cup replay when Michael Donnellan was a bigger draw than Athlone. ATTFC 1887 its only in the last year you have been blowing your trumpet despite beimg a member since 2009. Mervue have never had a gate of 1,000 in the 1st Division Likewise with SDGFC with 600 and your total lack of knowledge of Galway Soccer and its history shows your age.

I went to St. Mels before we had a LOI side in Galway 72 to 77 and Athlone were a draw then,

1877! Impressive - Athlone were a huge draw 10 years before they were even formed - well that sticks it to Charlie and Shamrock Rovers A + B...

Can you show me where i said Mervue and Salthill had 1000 and 600 at a LOI game?? I believe it was Nigel who said that. I also never once said we were a big draw. Not once. I said last year most clubs had bigger attendances when we played them. We brought the most away fans in the 1st division also. Yes its clearly because we were doing well, but what club isnt the same. Its all about success unfortunately.

No you didn't. What you actually said was:

This was proven not to be true. Three of the seven clubs drew their biggest home gate against you. Three out of seven is not 'most'.

You must be getting tired of being wrong at this stage?

**ATFC-1887** · 07/01/2014, 8:43 PM

Nigel you did say Mervue had over 1000 at a game...

**Charlie Darwin** · 07/01/2014, 8:54 PM

That was me who said they had 1,000. I mixed up the home and away legs of the playoff.

**ATFC-1887** · 07/01/2014, 10:20 PM

Ah my bad. Apologies Nigel

Any volunteers to kick off the usual finishing place predictions in both divisions for 2014?

I would start it but can't make my mind up of a few sides in the PD, including Dundalk!

Most squads are now complete, so we should know each teams strengths and any weak areas by now.

**wonder88** · 03/02/2014, 11:16 PM

I feel Pats won't retain the title, a more detailed prediction later. By the way, I tipped Pats to win last year and Athlone to win the 1st division on this forum, but one should not be showing off. There could still be some vital signings in the next month or so, therefore a bit early yet I think to select the winners and losers.

**oriel** · 04/02/2014, 10:22 PM

Yes agreed, prob makes more sense to kick off the usual predictions of finishing places closer to the kick off. Some clubs are not yet done in terms of squads.
