Galway United 2015 season - MOD Warning in Post #1

Tis those kind of games that we need to be winning, the Dundalks and Corks of this world are a different level at the moment.

Such a fantastic result. Really wish it wasn't the weekend before exams and I would have been able to make the trip. We have 9 points so far and they've come from wins against Limerick/Bray/Drogheda the three teams you would expect us to be shooting it out with towards the end of the season. Hopefully we can get close to 2000 at the game on Friday and if the lads manage to put in a good shift and nick something the season could potentially turn quickly in the right direction.


All the same I'm getting far to ahead of myself it's just one game, but out of all my years (only 7 or so) supporting Galway I can't remember a 5 goal win in the PD so I think we may have the right to be excited by it.

Poor result against Pats, not completely unexpected though. Had hoped to snatch a draw at home mind

Another red card too. Hmmm

Great win in Derry earlier. I really didn't expect much from the game. We've a terrible record up there. It's good to know this team is capable of performing away from home with the 5-0 win in Bray and now a 2-0 in Derry in our last 2 trips. If we can keep winning the home games and can keep picking up points away we could be safe with 3/4 games to go.

We got 9 points from the first series of games and I would have taken 10 points from this series considering we've the top 4 at home. But with that win we should be aiming for 12 of 15. If we're on on 20+ points going into the last series with all the bottom teams to play at home again I'm sure we'd stay clear of the bottom 2.

24 points should surely be enough

On Friday night, I looked at RTE aertel , it showed them winning 2-0, I got Derry Radio on my computer and listened to 2nd half , it was very tense , I kept thinking that Derry would score in 2nd half but Galway Utd held on, I think that Ryan Connolly is brillant , hopefully we can hold on to him. It was a great result , looking forward to RTE tonight so that I can see the goals.

Crazy score. Goals are flying in now!

I think Bohs had only conceded a single goal on the road until last night.

I actually didn't know that. Makes the result even better. I like that we haven't drawn yet. I don't know how long that will last but it feels like we live and die by the sword of sorts. Roll on the next game!

How much is it in for the match tonight does anyone know?

It's usually 15 or 10 with a student card (15 is a total rip off btw).

I dont think i've walked out of Terryland this season after paying €15 feeling that ive been ripped off... €15 is standard across most clubs in the Premier Division with some in Dublin charging €20 I think. €10 Discount price for Students/Unemployed/Cup games and U12's get in free. They have got the pricing spot on this season in my opinion.

Missed the game on Friday but was highly entertaining by the sounds of things! Highlights tonight should be good, the ref buttimer made a few howlers apparently. Dont have fond memories of him reffing our games in the past at all!

I know it's probably the going rate and they have costs to balance, I just don't think €15 is much value for money given the standard of football and atmosphere compared to other leagues. I don't mean either are especially bad - I have enjoyed myself every time I've been but I've also paid 10-15 more in other leagues and enjoyed it much, much more.

Tenner in is grand though, and I still have my student card

cost twenty to stand up in a gaa pitch to watch leitrim play Galway. Poor pitch,poor facilities, poor atmosphere, poor match,shocking toilets. Terryland is fantastic value by comparison.

It's €20-€30 depending on the game for Connacht tickets. €15 is about right for Galway United games and the season ticket is a bargain (unlike the Connacht one).

Bit unfair to compare it to something as shíte as rugby. I've gone to that with free tickets and felt ripped off :pac:

Ha good timing! Fair dues, knocking a five off for a cup game is a nice gesture considering the season tickets aren't allowed due to competition rules. Might venture up later on. Probably expect half the crowd that was there Friday night.

I was at a cup game last year and there was barely anybody there. Saying that I dragged two people from work for their first game and we had a brilliant time! Good weather, good football...all it takes. Hopefully another win. Cup runs are important for morale.

I'm looking forward to Soccer Republic tonight for the highlights of Friday.
