The standard of spelling on this forum is appalling. Are you going to Sligo IT,
Conor ?

Sorry....type to fast sometimes!!
Although the Sligo IT insult was uncalled for!
It happens to be held in high esteem by the locals!

I think you will find that you have omitted an apostrophe there Patrick. The misuse of punctuation on this forum is appalling.

Perhaps you too have studied at SIT.

**GUISAUltra** · 24/10/2006, 12:02 PM

**Terry** · 24/10/2006, 12:25 PM

Tallaght IT and Tralee IT make a fine pair between them

As far as I'm aware the bar will be open to all supporters.

You're probably all entitled to honoourary doctorates from Waterford IT for these efforts

- ya know - more First Division than whatever they're calling it next season!

we were told on here that we wouldnt be allowed in wearing our jerseys, thats what i meant by colours terry

**Patrick Dunne** · 24/10/2006, 1:29 PM

I haven't heard anything about the "no colours" rule from my Athlone sources. Ash, perhaps you can clarify this ?

**corbyeire** · 24/10/2006, 1:32 PM

the barkeeps would be mad to lose the custom the next night over something as trivial as colours - drink on!

**Ash** · 24/10/2006, 1:37 PM

There was nothing said to us about "no colours". One of the lads was talking
to a club official on Tuesday and nothing was mentioned.

If I hear anything different though I'll let you know as soon as I do.

I know with the Rovers game there was a private function in The Bounty and
so they limited the amount of people in the bar.
As far as Im aware they, along with a good few pubs in town got some advice
from the Gardai to keep things local.

In the case of the Rovers match too there was enough locals drinking in the
pub to keep the bank balance healthy so there was no need to have any
others in the bar who might cause bother. Seeing as a few "fans" started
throwing punches at the bouncers it was the correct decision on that
occasion. As always, a few idiots ruining it for the genuine supporters

**gufcfan** · 24/10/2006, 3:23 PM

I dont give a damn anyway

Im getting a pint in before the match!

The Bounty Bar. You just couldn't make it up.

PS Where in Da Town is it?
The only Athlone pub that I am familiar with is Gertie Brownes.

**Patrick Dunne** · 24/10/2006, 4:10 PM

The Bounty is the Buccaneers RFC club bar at Dubarry Park.

**Tribalhooie** · 24/10/2006, 7:18 PM

sounds good there should be a good bit of banter before the game. we will show that we can have the craic together as we have done so with the rovers and dundalk fans. hope the result will go our way.

Yep and heard that at the Under 21 match as well tonight and no segregation either apparently.

Lets all show what a good friendly rivalry is all about
