    Sligo away

    Was very quiet on here after the Derry game, so let's get the ball rolling again with a huge game away to Sligo.

    As always we have a supporters bus running and it looks like we are going to make one hell of a racket. Contact me to book your place

    Ahh Jaysus, First away game this season that I have agreed to bring the Kids to. They'll be delighted with the 3 hour round trip to get beaten.
    Seriously though Marty what is our record like in recent times in the Showgrounds.
    The truth fears no questions...

    Ah put the boot down and Youl do it in 2 hours. If we were only making 3 hour round trips every week it would be lovely. Can't wait for it now, particularly with this weather too. All we need now is the win. It would be wonderful

    Am I right in thinking if Wexford win and De Town lose then De Town are officially relegated due to goal difference

    Well it will never be official whilst it's mathematically possible to escape but unofficially we'd be down. Realistically we're gone already there's too much to do.
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

    Have a feeling we will take an awful tonking tomorrow. Horrible memories of our last trip here. Why the board didn't act that day il never know. Oh wait I do know, they have absolutely no bottle between them.
