Galway United FC 'Maroon View': Galway United v Bohemians, 22 October 2010 matchday programme — Airtricity Premier League at Terryland Park; NICK LEESON as chief executive

Official Galway United matchday programme 'Maroon View', €3, 'Clár Oifigiúil'. Galway United v Bohemians, Airtricity Premier League, Terryland Park, Friday 22 October 2010, kick-off 7.45pm. Main sponsors Courtyard Marriott, SSL Logistics, Rival and Papa John's Pizza.

The cover gives the day and month but not the year. The contents fix it: the club faces 'the play-off with Bray on Nov 2nd', which is the promotion/relegation play-off Galway United won 2-1 on 2 November 2010 to keep their Premier Division place.

THE CLUB DIRECTORY IS THE FIND. It lists the chief executive officer as NICK LEESON — the former Barings Bank trader, who really did run Galway United in this period — and the patron as MICHAEL D. HIGGINS, a year before he became President of Ireland. Sean Connor is manager.

The feature page is a supporter's essay of unusual candour: 'Ever watch the movie Groundhog Day? It's a bit like supporting Galway United.' It walks through the annual relegation fight, the departures of Jeff Kenna and Ian Foster, the sale of Anto Flood just as his partnership with Karl Sheppard was blossoming, Jay O'Shea's move to Birmingham City, and the coming play-off — 'This is our Cup Final. It's all or nothing and we need the Terryland faithful to drive us to victory.' It signs off 'Is Féidir Linn'. Twenty-four pages.
