.. we have some great young supporters like yourself, you are a credit to the club. There was a good crowd in Monaghan, but very few of the old hardcore, "mature", (drinking) crew. The Monaghan chairman was gutted and told me that barstaff would have to be let go.
I know some people have valid excuses, (ie family, dying with hangover) but equally a lot of supporters spend the day watching Hollyoaks and pottering around Woodies. Lightweights. Any United fan worth their salt should go to 2-3 aways a season, surely not a lot to ask.
We have buses to most away games, unlike the small clubs (Sligo, etc.)
As for club officials ! Was at our second launch of the season last few and the air of self-congratulatory guff was shocking. "We are massive off the field", etc. I correctly guessed that very few of them would be in Monaghan - only two turned up.
Our next away game is against Kilkenny on a Saturday. KO is 7.30pm. If you are driving you could leave Galway at 4.00pm and arrive at Buckley Park comfortably before kick-off. A supporters bus will leave Kates at 2.30pm.
"Oh come all ye terrace thugs and clubhousers too,
Its Saturday week and you'll have nothing to do.
So get out of the pub and off the golf cart,
And get your arse down to Buckley Park."
Come on United !
