How ironic coming from Galway fans, who support a club which will continue to shell out big bucks on a monthly basis (is the figure of 2.5K correct?) just to rent their home ground for the indefinite future.

The Galway and District League (GDL) own Terryland. Recently, they joined the Board that run the Club and have a stake in it's future. The GDL needs GUFC to attract funding to improve facilities. A new stand with 2,500 seats has been approved and will commence before Christmas. If Galway United are paying �2500 per month (I have no idea what the arrangement is), then it is money well spent. Someone else maintains the stadium for GUFC and it is a decent place to play and watch football. I understand that other Clubs don't own their grounds either (Cork, Waterford, Derry, Limerick and Rovers). Also, GUFC have a long lease!

ya, our future - for the long term - is well sorted, leasing your ground off someone that your in partnership is nothing like renting your ground of local rivals!

I'm surprised none of your buddies have pounced in your spelling mistake yet.

The LSL has everything you could want.

I agree. An opportunity to field our 4th and 5th strings.

Great trip as usual. Proper fans with no agendas. Interesting that the local keystones told the owner of Foxs not to serve Rovers fans but he could think for himself and was duly rewarded with a full house before and after the game.

Boost to see a good crowd for a first division game.

Our 2 clubs could and should be in the premier. Patrick Dunne looked stressed the whole night!

Jaysus Peadar surely you should know by now that it is a good idea to check your own post for mistakes before correcting someone elses spelling

Don't know where that came from. It didn't happen.
