Ireland - pre-season tour & other friendlies

[Eric Cartman]

HA! Hypocrite...

 

What's hypocritical about that then Liam? What do I keep bringing up then, hey? I also go out..?

We play Galway United on 28th July

 

It's big for Galway because they're in a mess financially at the moment. I do believe the match is against Galway United supporters trust (GUST), who're having trials this week for fans to play in the match. Galway United FC play the league games over the summer so that might be why we're going to play against GUST.

Maybe fairer if we sent Portly Vale over to Ireland then?

[One_Eyed_Dog]

A youth at work asked me if we had a tour to Ireland on. He's got family in Tipperary and thinks watching Vale might soften the blow.

 

Dan who did you book your imaginary ferry through?

Well at least they may have enough players to field a team!

who're having trials this week for fans to play in the match.

 

The manager likely knows who he wants already. There are no trials to my knowledge and it is not a supporters pub team. Expect a tough game.

The supporters trust withdrew support for Galway United at the end of last season, after having kept it afloat for years and actually running it on behalf of the directors who had abandoned it, for the 2011 season. The trust is working towards entering the league in 2013 with a proper community club, that is accountable to the supporters.

 

There is currently no team in the League of Ireland representing Galway in the 2012 season. There are two local clubs from the city playing in it, but they struggle to draw support from the housing estates they are from. They drew 95 people to the derby match played between them last week.

 

Terryland Park is a nice venue and any of you that decide to travel will certainly enjoy yourselves.

We won't have a team to play in that friendlw if this takeover isn't done this week.

Vale are playing Athlone Town on Sun. July 29th .

 

My buddy Sean Ryan, who lives in Houston TX is planning to be at that game whilst visiting his family in Thurles, only 60 miles away.

 

Sean is a great guy who fell in love with when he heard the name Port Vale on the BBC radio football results late one night back in the 6os (I believe).

 

He's also going to pay a visit to the Wembley of the North on July 18th and will be at the friendly against Alsager Town.

 

Look out for him and say howdy.

Just a simple question really, have we got any friendlies this month?

 

I know we have coventry and tranmere next month, but we usually have games like Newcastle Town.... Any infopr would be great

 

Thanks

[Werrington]

Are Vale playing Newcastle Town?

 

I notice Stoke are not this year.........although tbh its had its day and they have done well out of both clubs

Yeah think we play castle on the 21st. Surprised Stoke onna playing them this year, that friendly is usually a big earner for them.

I don't think Stoke are that desperate for the cash this year though bud.
