Galway -v- Rovers

**GUISAUltra** · 01/10/2006, 12:43 PM

will be absolutely massive to get this size of a game and a crowd in galway again. it just makes you wonder where all these fans were when we had 200 fans against kildare earlier in the season. i wonder if we dont beat rovers, how many fans will we get for the upcoming games

**GUISAUltra** · 01/10/2006, 12:49 PM

should be a cracking game. all we need now is the football to live up to the hype

Might stick with the same side that beayt limerick with nigel being sacrificed for wes and alan keane going out to right back. john russells performance against limerick also means that hes in with a serious shout of getting a strating place. it depends what tony wants to go for. safe and steady - fran and foley, if he wants to go and be creative - murphs and russler are too of the most creative in the league if not in ireland. interesting to see who he picks come friday

use all manner of time wasting tactics to get it,dublin teams have time wasting tactics down to a fine art,next friday night they will go down at the slighest touch,their keeper will take 30 seconds to place the ball for a goal kick,they will stand in front of our player trying to take a quick free kick,they will do all this and more,ive seen it in terryland so many times that im going their this friday expecting them to do it.i just hope we have a strong ref,hopefully they get a premier league ref for the match.this isnt me trying to annoy rovers fans or anything,this is just me saying what their players will do.big games like this one are sometimes spoiled by a refs decisions,or lack of,ive just seen it too many times that im a realist about it,not a pessimist.

Pot, Kettle, Black. It's good to know the sense of humour in Galway.

This crazy post, comes from a fan of a club which spent 180 minutes in Tolka this season, doing all of the above. It worked until we finally punished it in injury time in August.

We're looking to win also, as payback for the defeat in June.

**corbyeire** · 02/10/2006, 8:42 AM

obviously you are looking to win - ye are 3 points behind us

**GuisaSaigon** · 02/10/2006, 9:00 AM

I was out in Spiddal over the weekend and everybody was talking about United.people who havent been at a game in years are saying that they are definetely going on Friday.How are tickets going ? could sell out very soon with the level of interest being shown.Spread the word good times are here again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Terry** · 02/10/2006, 9:28 AM

the missus is gone into town again this morning buying another 5 tickets more for me. Demand is unreal, haven't seen anything like it since the play offs again drogheda.

**gufct** · 02/10/2006, 10:12 AM

just make sure to get them tickets early lads it will make it much easier to manage and steward for everyone concerned.There will be NO tickets available on friday and you went get down the carpark road without one.Also Car parking cant be guarenteed after 7 o'clock no exceptions.

**Terry** · 02/10/2006, 1:58 PM

I see S&S clubs in a numerous amount of factories in the city are selling the tickets as well and are apparently doing well also.

**Terry** · 02/10/2006, 3:08 PM

2 of the lads in work bought tickets in the last hour. they were numbered 2083 or 4 or something. Does this mean that is how many are sold, or are they just sold off in different bunches and not in numerical order?

If you then take into consideration that there is 800 season tickets and 400 rovers tickets that would give a crowd of 3283 so far?

**Conor H** · 02/10/2006, 4:27 PM

My Uncle is coming down from Mayo and going with 7 other lads who haven't been to Terryland in years for the match.
At this rate the match will be a sell out by Wednesday?

**Tir Oilean** · 02/10/2006, 6:50 PM

I bought 12 today in Terryland but there didnt seem to be that many sold. Id say most r bein sold in town. Incidently only 4 of the twelve were ever in Terryland before so it will be important that they are impressed with the set up. And the ticket number doesnt indicate they are sold to that amount mine are 1700-1712. Ive missed a pile ofgames lately so I hope I'll be treated to a feast of football on Friday!

**Patrick Dunne** · 02/10/2006, 7:46 PM

Ticket numbers would not indicate the amount of tickets sold.
The match is far from a sell-out at present time, hopefully it will by
Friday.

Are these people aware that they can't just turn up for this game like 'normal'?
