GUST meet-up with Mad As Cootes

**GUISAUltra** · 25/10/2006, 10:04 AM

roll on saturday night boys, cant wait for it at this stage, its getting fairly annoying waiting for it. as ye all know we never go looking for any trouble and nearly always get along well with opposition fans, just ask rovers and dundalk fans but as with most people we dont like to be antagonised. so hopefully on saturday the bus up, the couple of pints before the game, and the match can pass off without any of this stupid fighting crap starting again.

does this meet up mean we wont be visiting the Dog & Duck.I suppose it would be rude to turn down the invitation but the D&D have always been great to us.

we could always go there afterwards for one or two, its not too far away and as you say they've been really sound to us over the years

There is the possibilty of visiting the D&D for a while after the match, depending on the driver and those who are travelling to the game.

TBH i'd prefer to get straight back to Galway as i and at least 7 others who are travelling are going out in Galway after the match.We should be back at a reasonable enough time to allow everyone to make a night of it in Galway as opposed to hanging around in Athlone been gazed at by the local yokels in the pub.

Yokels generally are suspicious of outsiders and always want to get back to where they have lived all their lives - and as quickly as possible.

nice one Pa

i dunno i think it would be good to go for a few pints in the dog&duck after, they've been fairly sound over the years to us and it'd be good to go up even if its only for one drink. there'd still be time to go out in galway afterwards

Frank, the owner travels to most of the Ireland games and is a bit of legend. We used to stop there any time we went to Athlone or Longford, always great craic and we always got well fed and "watered".Frank used to throw a few crates on the bus for us too! We like Frank he gives us beer!
