**Tir Oilean** · 15/12/2006, 9:55 AM

How are they goin? Will be buying 2 at the weekend so you can count them in!

**gufct** · 15/12/2006, 11:03 AM

Going very well.There is a special group rate for more than 10 people aimed at the sports and social clubs so anyone involved in one or want further details check out galwayunitedfc.ie or email or ring the office 767336.We really need to have 1,000 signed up before the start of the season.

**Patrick Dunne** · 15/12/2006, 12:23 PM

As of lunchtime, 43 sales returned to the office. A good start, but we need 200 before Christmas.

Pledges don't count, they won't keep the bank manager happy !

1,000 season tickets would be an amazing achievement for a club that hasn't been in the Premier for so long. That's more than some Premier Division clubs' average attendances.

2 quick questions:

1, I paid for my season ticket in full at the cobh match at the end of the season, but havent yet got any vouchers, will I be getting any at all?

2, how many tickets are sold now?

**GuisaSaigon** · 27/12/2006, 2:16 PM

The vouchers arent out yet, they'll be distributed in January. �250+ worth of vouchers from companies like kings head, halo, zhivago, fat freddies, specsavers ,hanleys menswear, karma, bagle bar, twist, bodkins, claddagh and celtic , and many more. Its a good deal I've convinced someone who has been to terryland once to buy a season ticket with talk of vouchers and and the promise of top class football next season.

**Tir Oilean** · 27/12/2006, 5:30 PM

I bought two there before xmas and the figure was circa 200

**GUISAUltra** · 28/12/2006, 12:19 PM

i convinced 2 lads that were hardly ever in terryland to buy season tickets as well. hopefully we can keep selling season tickets and reach our goal

The MRU sold 30 alone on the Friday before Christmas, with 21 sold in Zhivago from Thursday - Sunday.

Season tickets remain at E150 for adults up to next Monday. They are on sale
from Zhivago Records, Shop St, from all GUST members, by pming me or by ringing Ronan Coleman at (087) 6972823.
They will also be on sale at Monday nights GUST Lotto draw in Hughes (1st January).

I would encourage everyone here to try and sell as many as they can while the E150 offer is available. If we could get 300 sales by next week it would be a great start. There will be an executive meeting on Wednesday, there should be an update on the exact sales total here afterwards.

greetings from Texas. I got my second batch of tickets last friday and we had sold over 215 by then and ive sent in well over 15 more since and that was before Ronans batch from the mru went in.

The response from the general Public has been great and ive got 15 people to take 10 each to sell and i would ask all the posters on here to get behind Ronan and the GUST as every ticket sold is another 150 of the budget we have to raise.

**Patrick Dunne** · 29/12/2006, 6:17 PM

Sound scotsbeer. The office is re-opening on Tuesday 2nd January, so I'm sure that you will hear from them next week.

**eamo1** · 29/12/2006, 6:26 PM

santa on monday

.wearing my g.u jersey with pride here in washington but this town is the other type of football town.by the time i get back my 2 friends should have bought their seaon tickets too and ill try get a third friend to aswell.as J.W said 1000 would be an incredible achievement,im still not sure if we will reach it though but even three quaters of it would be excellent.

**gilberto_eire** · 30/12/2006, 2:05 AM

why i see DALLAS and TEXAS wrote here people are hardly buying season tickets over there like?

**Patrick Dunne** · 30/12/2006, 11:49 AM

I don't think that the Dallas branch of GUST have sold many season tickets yet. They are the most inactive of the Texas branches.

Boise, Idaho is the biggest centre of United support in the USA. They have a street named after a United legend - Neville Steedman Boulevard.

**gufct** · 03/01/2007, 2:29 PM

The texas branch could reach the 200 figure Pa.My phone bill will be huge as vodafone have no partner in the USA.

Heard we had well in excess of 200 sold and by the time all the christmas post gets processed in the office we could be over a third of the way to our target of 1,000.Keep on selling people!!!!!!!!!

**Patrick Dunne** · 12/01/2007, 12:27 PM

Season ticket sales are approx 350 as of today.

January has been very busy, but we need to have at least 500 sold before the end of the month.

If you want to buy a season ticket, or know someone who might be interested in buying one, send me a pm and I will send forms to you.

All GUST members should return season tickets through the GUST, by contacting Ronan Coleman at (087) 6972823, or by pm'ing Trainee, GUISASaigon, or me.

**gazza2** · 12/01/2007, 2:09 PM

Not sure if it will happen but the Galway Utd committe should look at trying to entice the Galway Junior Clubs into buying Season Tickets.

I think a lot of us know 3,4,5 people of certain clubs who go to Terryland on a regular basis.

There are 54 registered junior teams in the galway league and i know some clubs have 2 + 3 teams in the leagues.

Try to get most clubs to buy 5 Season Tickets at a Discounted Rate:
For Example:

54 Clubs x 5 Season Tickets = 270 Season Tickets

270 Season Tickets at a Discounted Rate of maybe �120 a ticket = �32,400

**GuisaSaigon** · 12/01/2007, 2:30 PM

AFAIK something is being prepared for junior clubs at the moment and will be sent out shortly. It should be posted here as soon as its confirmed. I doubt any season tickets will be sold for €120 that would be basically giving them away.If you look at what most clubs are charging for season tickets ours are already very cheap and most other clubs dont include €250 worth of vouchers either.

**Sumac** · 12/01/2007, 2:58 PM

I am new to foot as a contributer (have been viewing for a while). I remember seeing that Galway United had hoped to get 1,000 season ticket holders. As the figure is only at 350, is it unrealistic to expect to sell that many?
