Does anyone know what the story is with this trip? Is it still on?

as a home friendly on Saturday March 4th.

Ireland Schoolboys will play Scotland in Terryland on Friday 10th March.

Cork City have agreed to play a friendly in mid-February, put this date will not be finalised until the Setanta Cup fixture list is released.

Does this mean our first league game will be away?

**galwaygirl** · 05/01/2006, 3:25 PM

Galway United faces Shelbourne on the 3rd of February in Terryland Park, 7.30 kick-off.

**Patrick Dunne** · 06/01/2006, 4:49 PM

should be away. The FAIS have requested the use of Terryland and the assistance of Galway United FC on Friday 10th March.

GUFC have requested to the EL that therefore our first game be away, to avoid a fixture clash. Our first home game would then be on St Patricks Day

**Patrick Dunne** · 06/01/2006, 5:48 PM

as Tuesday 14th February, Terryland Park, 7.30pm.

**Conor H** · 06/01/2006, 6:03 PM

Feck it anyway....i was hoping our first game of the season would be at home.Not much of a difference,i just thought it would have been better to open the season in Terryland.

Yeah but now ye can all get p!ssed in Terryland cos it's Paddy's day too!

**Terry** · 09/01/2006, 8:21 AM

OK!

The FC United game is on behind closed doors, so there is no point in going over. The shels friendly is on the same time as a wedding Im going too and the cork friendly is on valentines day and there is no way the missus is going to let me go to that!

IM I GOING TO SEE UNITED PLAY A PRESEASON MATCH AT ALL???????????

**Conor H** · 09/01/2006, 1:12 PM

Ya Terry dont worry.
You'll be able to see us play the mighty Longford and Sligo Rovers(even though maye not caus sligo is away)
I think there is talk of Bohs coming aswell.

**Patrick Dunne** · 09/01/2006, 2:42 PM

Longford in Terryland 4th March
Bohemians in Terryland 17th/18th February

Four home friendlies against Premier opposition. Remember , season ticket holders get in for free - an added incentive to buy your season tickets this month.

The FC United game is "behind closed doors" - I presume in the same way that a friendly in Drom is "behind closed doors". Nothing to stop Lals Army attending, I'd imagine. Won't be going myself, though, someone has to mind the house

Blimey, my missus is letting me come up from Cork to see the Valentines Day game. You want to be having serious words with her! Football comes first, tell her that. Then, kick her into touch! You know it makes sense.

PD, was just wondering about those who availed of the 3 year standing order season ticket offer, last year or the year before. Will we have our season tickets sent out to us before these friendlies?

**Guitd** · 10/01/2006, 10:42 PM

with all these home friendlys as well as all the galway & district league games
will the pitch not be in poor condition for the start of the season,i heard that between xmas and paddys day there are about 15 games as well as our friendlys lined up seem lake a bit much this time of year

**Terry** · 11/01/2006, 7:35 AM

Im sure that if there was a problem that Noel Connolly would have made his opinion known, and GUFC would have played the friendlies away from terryland. The man is a genius when it comes to looking after the grounds.

**Patrick Dunne** · 11/01/2006, 12:13 PM

will be posted out before first friendly against Shelbourne on Friday 3rd February.

Season ticket holders will have free entry to four friendlies against Premier sides - make sure you have bought your ticket by the end of the month.

All those who pay via standing order will have their tickets before Shels game and will also be included in the draw for Liverpool vs Manchester United tickets, plus any subsequent draws.
