this is [another] important game for us, a defeat against a team 31st on league placings, will set us back to pre hererty days, it will be a major set back, and the players will know that, so a bright start is vital, but we should be very near full have a full team, the fermanagh defeat was a big set back, yet if 2/3 of our wides had of went over in 1st half we would have got the momentum not them and we would have carried the day but lets not write leitrim off ,the team will respect them Stmunnsriver (Wexford) - Posts: 3107 - 29/05/2026 16:41:38 2676471 Link

Replying To Viking66: "Maybe read the thread. There's WUMs there having the craic ;-)" Yeah, there's just one lad in there, who's not to be taken seriously, who claimed there were 12,000 tickets already sold. For a ground that only holds three-quarters of that, and where the real attendance will be about 3,000. Same lad is also talking about the gala celebrations already being planned for January 2028, to commemorate the 15th anniversary of them winning the FBD Connacht League. :D Pikeman96 (Wexford) - Posts: 3740 - 29/05/2026 17:59:10 2676482 Link

How are ye fixed for the game? Do ye give yourselves any chance? Chances are ye have met no team with the quality we have that puts us in the top 2 in Connacht. Gantric (Leitrim) - Posts: 148 - 02/06/2026 18:48:03 2677435 Link

We're so excited about the game that there's been 12,001 tickets sold to Wexford supporters so far. So it looks like we'll outnumber you there.

How will the loss of your top scorer affect you .?Any injuries? Leitrim losing 2 top players but rest of squad in full training & raring to go. leitrimabu1 (Leitrim) - Posts: 189 - 03/06/2026 13:47:07 2677611 Link

Replying To Stmunnsriver: "is that all?" We're up to 12,004 now. My brother has decided to go and to bring his two young lads with him. Pikeman96 (Wexford) - Posts: 3740 - 03/06/2026 15:52:35 2677670 Link

Hes not our top scorer this year. Terrible news for him, seems a sound young lad. Im sure he will be back next year better than ever.

I was talking to some very shrewd Leitrim football men last night and while Wexford might challenge for a while it's hard to see them stick with the quality and slickness of Leitrim. Wexfords best chance of scores seem to be from Banville and Brosnan but we should easily deal with them. Still I urge Wexford fans to get behind their most likely last game of the year.

Replying To countyman2022: "Did you travel to NYC 2 years ago?" No, why? Wasn't it 2 years ago Mayo played NY? The general consensus and feeling among most Leitrim people is that we will have too much quality for Wexford. I hope Wexford people enjoy the atmosphere around Carrick, its a different level on game days. Gantric (Leitrim) - Posts: 148 - 04/06/2026 09:58:31 2677774 Link

If those shrewd Leitrim football men are talking about how one of our biggest scoring threats is PJ Banville, I'm surprised they didn't also mention the danger posed by Mattie Forde and Seamie Fitzhenry and Willie Goodison.

Be huge traffic in fairness, hope they put up a few temporary traffic lights. Be a few hens and stags around that might go to match. countyman2022 (Wexford) - Posts: 1015 - 04/06/2026 12:02:26 2677828 Link

We all knew Forde retired recently, the crew I hang out with would be very knowledgeable football men and we know Leitrim football inside out. We cannot wait for the game, everyone I've spoke to this week expects a straight forward enough win for us but I hope ye enjoy the game regardless.
