Replying To PressureKick: " Replying To Mfs: "[quote=streaker: "[quote=ahsure.: "[quote=MTS: "New York - New York! Most I spoke to are staying close to Time Square. Where are the best meeting places? Jake's Saloon & Connolly's Pub over the weekend The Galway GAA gig is on in the Hammerstein Ballroom on Saturday 6:30 pm.. McLean Ave on match day. This is looking like Galway's last trip to New York. Love to hear what others have planed." Once we all don't gather in time square like the cringe festival that our neighbours put on a couple of years back we will be grand" We wouldn't be that desperate for attention, surely??"]Its called having a bit of crack. Be careful in case ye enjoy the trip. Judging by how few travelled to London last year I cannot see to many travelling to New York."]That wasn't 'craic', that was one of the most awkward looking and cringey scenes the GAA has ever experienced Approx 7k Mayo fans went to NY last year yet not even 3k made the short trip to Hyde Park for the much more significant group stage game in June. Partial to a bandwagon perhaps?"]Partial to having a good reason to head to the Big Apple for a session I think. There were plenty of season tickets available this year. The bandwagon is broken.

Replying To LottoPlus: "Looking around and speaking to neighbouring clubs there seems to be some amount of drain of club footballers out of the county. We have lost 2-3 really good players in Claregalway and 10-12 in the last 2-3 years and I know our noisey neighbours in Annaghdown are down up to 15 players in the last two years. Caherlistrane are also well hit and Mountbellow/Moylough were disseminated last year and I can only imagine other clubs who have a smaller player base are struggling. Will this mean we could see as surprise winner of this years Frank Fox or Corofin who are an older more establish team still be favourites? What do folks think?" Let's let the leagues finish at least before talking about Frank Fox again! Plenty of time for players in the Galway panel to show their skills that they can apply to club too. I made a comment last year about how moycullen have added themselves to the fairly long list of clubs that aren't able to beat corofin in knockout championship. I don't really see that list changing yet and MM are still the only team to do that in the last 10 years. Still plenty of new management & new blood in senior football so the leagues should hopefully show something. systematic (Galway) - Posts: 138 - 11/03/2025 16:50:13 2595968 Link

New York fast approaching. Be careful with your mobile data. You could get scalded very easily. Might be worth investing €20 in an eSim. I am looking at GoMoworld. Not sure if I'll venture to the Dancing event! Less formal event in Mustang Harrys on the Friday (meet and greet with the squad and past players). Connollys has a fundraiser for Caherlistrane, I think GBFM are in Jakes Saloon on the Saturday afternoon .....i think but not sure! Can't wait. Should be a great trip. Anyone else have any info?

Replying To Belclare7: "Although my heart lays elsewhere, I schooled in Tuam and now work there.. My kids are in school there, so I think it has so much to offer... Ye knock it without any reason as to why" Disgraceful carry on whoever damaged the pitch. Hopefully those responsible are found and made do hard labour to repair the damage caused jm25 (Galway) - Posts: 1388 - 12/03/2025 14:45:18 2596088 Link

Yes, that's the same info I have. We're all staying just down from Connolly's in time square but loads of other bars around that with cheaper tonics. We're all giving the dancing craic a miss too. Head up to McLean Ave in Yonkers on Sunday morning before that match. A few Irish bars up there where everyone meets up. Good idea on the sim card. Let me know how you get on.
