I was thinking the same thing. As my son put it, "we'll probably get wrecked...maybe we'll get a draw somewhere and avoid getting zero points." (Yes, my kids are now using "we" to describe Galway United.)

Chas mentions the one advantage to not playing at Eamonn Deacy Park, which is too small to meet the requirements for the later rounds of European competition.

Thanks! I'm hoping so, too. I'm not sure what our take from an away tie in the EURO Cup will be, but I hope we can play in front of some big crowds in Hamburg, Monaco, and Bilbao. Maybe a few more of our Irish compatriots will think it's cool to see those big clubs, and make their way to Limerick for our home games. We'll see.

It's been a lot of fun, and I appreciate the comments!
