UTD V Kilkenny

**Conor H** · 13/11/2006, 10:11 AM

Well it's easily our biggest away match in years and has the potential to be an epic match/night.
Rumours have it that we'll get over a 100 anyway down there so i think we should do our best to make the place as colourful and noisy as possible.
A win for us and Dundalk just drawing is good enough for the playoff's which would see us taking a massive step into nex years elite league.
So.......we have to let the lads know where very much there.(shouldn't be too hard considering we'll probably outnumber the home support!)
Anyway we'll have all the flags....tifo included.WE'll have the drums....although we should try and get the 1 that's went missing of late down there.We'll have 3 confetti grenade yokes....anyone who was in Athlone will agree they're a superb affect.What else?I know i mention it alot but we can get baloons?
Any other ideas?

Theres a shop called blooms and baloons on Dominic street. They usually do arrangements for weddings but they might be able to get a few maroon and blue balloons. Their number is 635840

**Conor H** · 13/11/2006, 10:37 AM

Nice one...i have another place aswell that will do them but each baloon is E2 a pop.I'll compare prices.Cheers GUISASaigon.

surely you could buy cheap ones and let people blow them up before the game.

Ya but not maroon one's.It's impossible to get a bunch of maroon baloons in regular shops.I don't think the baloon effect would be as good if they were a range of colours.But i don't mind.Depends what everyone else thinks.

A bit of topic here, but the match is going to be broadcasted live by GBFM also, for those that wont be there.

**gufct** · 13/11/2006, 11:47 AM

there is no way i could listen to this match on the radio its a game you have to make every possible effort to make could be Historic or disastrous but im proud of our team this season only 5 losses and a points total that would have won the league last season.

**GuisaSaigon** · 13/11/2006, 1:25 PM

What time is the bus leaving on Saturday ? I heard 1 o' clock but it says 2:30 in the programme. 1:00 would be better, its a long trip, theres a good pub in Tipperary and we have to check in to our house before the game.

**Conor H** · 13/11/2006, 1:29 PM

1 o clock.

AFAIK we'll be stopping in the Millhouse then onto Kilkenny.

**GuisaSaigon** · 13/11/2006, 1:59 PM

The Mill house thats the one with the pitch out the back isn't it?

**gufct** · 13/11/2006, 2:08 PM

anyone on driving down .

Sure is.A vital re match has to take place on the way down.......a dubious goal cost some of us the match last time.

**gufct** · 14/11/2006, 3:35 PM

its i sharp as people need to get their accomadation sorted before the game.

Ballons!

**GUISAUltra** · 14/11/2006, 5:29 PM

its 7 sterling for 100 maroon ballons there but its in england so theres no chance of getting them here in time

**Patrick Dunne** · 14/11/2006, 5:38 PM

There are approx eight seats remaining for anyone who wishes to travel up and down on the day. Call Ronan now at (087) 6972823 to reserve a seat.

I would love to be able to bring another bus, a 30 seater. If we get the numbers, we certainly will.

**eamo1** · 16/11/2006, 4:12 PM

against a pi** poor side i assume tony will play a few more attack minded players in this one,ie;russell/mixie instead of carter in the middle,reilly instead of o.donnel at left back.i suppose it will be a straight swap with moran in for dowdy.
normally id think dundalk would be very hard pressed to get anything up in finn park but harps are now a shadow of their former selves and dundalk are a decent side now.i still believe it can/might happen but ill still be pleasantly surprised if it does-if that makes sense

.
if we are winning comfortably near the end and get a peno goughie should be allowed take it
