Anticipation of a season in the mainstream

Thu, Feb 13, 2025

There might be only one ‘Mr. Galway United’, and he plays up front, but there are several stalwart supporters who carried the torch through the darkest of times. All of them would have the utmost respect for the fandom of Kenny Keady, and indeed his sister Caroline. He is well placed to reflect on the view from the terraces as we approach the 2025 season.

But both then and now, the United manager commanded the room.

It's been a busy break, but new season brings excitement
