Rovers should change the date to suit away fans - if your home fans are true fans they'll turn up anyway.

What, why? What's so hard about travelling on a friday,we travel in huge numbers on fridays,didn't we play yous on a friday at terryland?

No point changing fixtures to accomodate 20-30 extra away fans.
I presume the game will be on the Friday as Shels are playing in Drogheda on
that evening.

fridays are difficult for a lot of people to get to away games although there will be a crowd up from galway if it does go ahead on the friday. i know you lot have a good travelling support for any game but the game at terryland was on a bank holiday weekend (holiday monday) so i am sure that added to the away support and also the attraction of a weekend in galway as its been so long since we played each other. anyway if the match does get changed to the sunday there will be a few more than normal travelling from galway i think. there may be some g.a.a.y. nonsense going on at broke park and that will may make our train journey up either more enjoyable or a nightmare dependng on how late the train will be in getting back to galway.
anyway, the way the league is looking at the moment that game will be a big one for both teams. we will give it loads up on tolka anyway.
who else (galway lads and lassies) is planning on travelling?
