Was there not a rumoured name-change a while back there to Galway Salthill Devon or something like that?

We currently still have the use of Drom for training.
There is still a lot of work to be done. The club should be vested in the community through the Galway FA, the Supporters Trust and other interested parties who are committed to the longterm development of Galway United FC.
Of course we are happy, we want the club as a single entity and not to be governed by another clubs directors. The name change was a worry but turned out to be rumours in the end, thank god!
As far as training in the drom, of coarse! They are not going to stop taking our money for using it!!
They were there to save us when we needed them and they always acted with Honesty and integrity. They also saved senior football in Galway and have contributed hugely to the people of Galway with the facilities in Drom.
I wish them well and thank them for their efforts
The pitches in Drom are fantastic. Play there a good bit myself.
same here
"Even if the sun ceases to rise, Even if the sea ceases to flow, Even if the wind stops to blow, The name of Sligo Rovers will shine and shine forever like the morning, glinting star in the sky."
So what will happen now .... any word from the club on this ??
It all sound good anyway .... hope Galway are putting structures in place so they can stay in the premier league long term.
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
How do you mean?What will happen with what?The club will carry on as normal there will be no changes whatsoever AFAIK bar a couple of board members heading back with Salthill.We will continue to use Drom.

I was thinking with the old board taking the reigns again, there would be some sort of mission statement or indication of intent .... i dunno .... just a "we are back and we'll be doing X, Y and Z"

The board that was in place before salthill left is the same board there is now. None of them are assosiated(sp?) with salthill, except for maybe being supporters. GALWAY UNITED FC ARE GOING NOWHERE EXCEPT UP !!!!
Happy days are here again but its going to take a lot of effort from one and all to keep it going in the right direction.
