Bohs game changed to Ballinasloe

**atfconline** · 17/02/2006, 1:29 PM

Had me wondering there for a minute, new floodlights?! You mean Ballinasloe obviously!

Nah Mickey won't be there, we're heading off for Bray in an hour.

I got a programme off ebay there last week from when we played Birmingham in 91/92. Think we played Dundee a few weeks earlier? A number of contributions from yourself in it, along with a very young looking Mickey as player/manager with a big mop of black hair and moustache! Forgot to give him a slagging about it yet!

Don't worry - I'll handle the slagging when I see him.

The floodlights were erected here about a year or so ago but they have actually to arrange a big game to "officially" turn them on.

They've used them a lot for Ros Lge games and other encounters. A Friday or Saturday night game is deadly for junior players 'cos they won't miss work on a Saturday and can have a few pints on Saturday night after the game - as can travelling teams too.

I've just got an email from Jeff Moran at Bohemians and they're bringing some supporters to the game. In fact, they left quite early for the game and are possibly arrived already or very near to Beeslow at this moment.

Here you go BGR Both from Heuston
There's a train at 4.50pm and another at 5 to 6 (5.55pm) but the second train doesn't get to Beeslow until 7.56pm - 26 minutes after kick off.
If you hurry and get the 4.50pm you'll get here at 25 past 6.

Let me know how you're fixed and I'll get working on the accommodation.

It's a two mile trip from the train station here to the ground so you'll miss most of the first half BGR. Forgot about that. PM me when you decide, will ya, so I can organise accommodation.

Just back from Ballinasloe.
Galway 0 - Boez 1.
Half decent crowd in fairness,nice little stadium aswell for a junior club.Fair play to all at Downey's....complementary food before and after the match...sound staff aswell.Good ol crack aswell....especially the last 10 minutes of the game.
Bring on the other small club from Connacht!

PS....Hamish did you hear us?
