Galway -v- Rovers

**corbyeire** · 04/10/2006, 9:33 AM

youd hope that if the allocation wasnt going to be used - SRFC would notify GUFC and they would be sold

this sounds very like the last time when rovers were on their way down - 200-300 were coming - and we were expecting 2500 etc. etc.

probably wont sell out - maybe more than last time for sure - but you can always expect the fairweather crowd to forget to buy their ticket or not know it was all ticket etc.

either way there is going to be plenty of atmosphere down here the next night

**gufct** · 04/10/2006, 10:08 AM

tickets are selling like hotcakes lads its only wednesday morning and zhivago have sold out twice already and over 200 sold in Terryland which is not the most accesible place for fans. Sitting in B'fast Airport wishing i was staying home but the fixtures werent even out whwn i booked for Cyprus so ill just have to make do with an internet cafe in ayia napa and BOC's dulcet tones.

Dont forget Jersey day 2 and let me here you all loud and proud in Ayia Napa.Good luck to Tony and the lads but dont forget there is 6 more cup finals after friday so Keep the Maroon Flag Flying High. Didnt bring the flags to Cyprus they will be our spirit in Terryland!!!!!!

C'mon United

P.S. Pa make sure Ronan keeps in touch with the Loughrea and Athenry Outlets.

i had to correct a few people who were calling fridays game the "title decider",its hardly that with 6 games left for us and 8 for shams and dundalk who wont go away either.youd forget that theres just 3 points to play for and yet it seems to have more hype then the playoff final home leg a few years ago,weird.would 6 wins in a row be a club record??heres hoping.

Rovers pal Rovers.

There'll be a camera there anyway I presume. Camera there last time but they never showed it

54 hours and counting

Should be a cracker! As a lilywhite don't know whether I want a draw or a Galway win! First time in Terryland so looking forward to it!

**GUISAUltra** · 04/10/2006, 12:37 PM

if this is going to be your first game in terryland you've picked an absolute cracker. there is going to be one of the biggest crowds in the past few years and there is so much hype about this game around the city and county that terryland is going to be hopping.
A home win would give us six wins on the bounce but more importantly it will give us the 6 point lead over rovers with dundalk here in 2 weeks time.

Bring on the rovers, the 3 points and the summit of the league come friday night

**thescoringgoals** · 04/10/2006, 1:56 PM

NYHOOP:i know there will be a camera there(there has been for most home games this season),its just gonna be a little experiement of mine to see how it turns out amd if its on youtube it can be watched over and over as opposed to 1 showing of 20 seconds of highlights at midnight on monday on tv3.
NYHOOP:no offence meant by calling ye "shams",its not meant in the "tuam" sense of the word

,just a shortened version of yer name.
i really hope with all this hype that this game wont be a dull 0-0 draw,my first lesson in games not living up to the hype was the 96 FA cup final between liverpool and man utd,so much hype,so much talk,then what a poor dull game it turned out to be.so i just hope fridays game doesnt turn out the same way.

Is there a roof over the rovers fans on friday in case it rains :d

**corbyeire** · 04/10/2006, 3:50 PM

Yes. Section F (I think) of the stand has been allocated to visiting supporters. It's just inside the main entrance to Terryland Park.

Game is also live on Galway Bay FM and on the net at www.galwaybayfm.ie
Be warned that the broadcast may well be slightly biased and inaudible to delicate eardrums. Also, Galwegian colloquialisms might confuse non-locals.

Looks like a repeat of the game at Terryland in March '86, when Galway and Rovers were going gung-ho for the Premier Division. The Galway board built special one-off scaffolding for the game there, to cope with the demand from the locals

. We were 3-0 up by half time, won the game, and a month later, beat Galway to the title.

In relation to the potential for trouble, if we're treated as we were earlier in the season i'd be pretty confident you'll get no hassle from the travelling hooperazi,

...which may be wiped out in 10 days, after our 3 home games played.

**GuisaSaigon** · 05/10/2006, 8:27 AM

Just heard Kevin Moran doing an ad on GBFM for the game on friday! is this new?

**Terry** · 05/10/2006, 9:29 AM

was up in terryland yesterday evening getting the last few tickets for everyone and I have to say that I never seen the pitch look so good. Fantastic work by Noel Connolly and everyone else involved, well done.

Couldnt care less about any foreign clubs really. But take your point re hyped up games.

Hammer I know you limerick fans have a chip on your shoulder with all things Rovers (as was infamously pointed out in your match programme against us)but that is a stupid question. The point is when you are treated like **** it leaves a sour taste in the mouth. Galway fans treat us properly. That would mean not throwing stones at us during the game.

**galwayhoop** · 05/10/2006, 11:38 AM

there was actually a big televised game on that day in 86 - involving some foreign clubs! think it was man u and someone else. i remember with fondness the rovers fans in the old stand singing
'you can shove your english football up your asre!'

a classic chant!!!

my brother couldn't make out what they were saying and thought it was -
put the sugar in your cocoa and stir it up

not a bad chant either - but hardly relevant
