Shelbourne At Tolka Park The Old Fixture

**steno** · 11/09/2007, 2:51 PM

Some of you may remeber that once upon a time a league game between Kildare County and Shelbourne was called off due to the heavy rain we had during the summer (how could you forget the rain FFS)

Game has been refixed to Sunday 23rd September at 4pm in Tolka Park.

That means that Kildare County will be playing shels twice in just over the space of a week.

Just seeing how many are going to make the trip to Tolka this weekend.

I am.

Why did shels decide to have this fixture at 4pm when there is a huge game on in the premier****? Surely the logical thing would be to have it sunday night?

Clubs still shooting themselves in the foot. Anyway good luck Kildare!

The first game of the season against them wasn't a bad turn out, hopefully with it being a sunday may get a few more.

A few of the younger fans are going, about 15.

Two silly goals, as per usual. Annoying thing is County were by far the better team in the first half and played some good stuff which should have lead to more in the second.

Agree with what Ny Hoop said, Shels made a mistake playing this game at the same time as Man U v Chelsea. They had barely anyone there, I can only think that was the reason why such a poor turn out or else they all went off on a day trip to Glendalough. Also maybe not a great time to play it at the same time as three matches at Croke park, that train back to Maynooth was bedlam, worse than the rush hour.

The Colts as per usual made a cracking noise, I brought an English mate with me who's a spurs fan and he was very impressed with the non stop singing from the County Colts.

Had to laugh at the two stewards who semi penned us all in at half time so we couldn't bump into any Shels fans, even though there was two sitting in front of us and twenty within shaking hands distance from us, it wasn't the balaclarva wearing, automatic pistol packing robocops who kept us in the ground at the end of the Ireland v Czech republic game in Prague I admit, but it was funny all the same, telling him that'' I promise I won't go near any Shels fans'' while laughing at the same time at how we spent half the game sitting beside them and walking backwards and forwards by them.

Still roll on Limerick 37, or whatever they call themselves this week.
