[outspoken]

[Tallanted]

Edit: as above, too slow on this phone!

[L.T.F.C.]

Where are the AUL grounds?

[Longfordian]

Clonshaugh in Dublin I think. It's been changed on the Shels site now and the venue is TBC but kick off remains the same.

[outspoken]

I'd say theyl move it to Tolka now

[Martinho II]

Clonshaugh I think is the same place where we played Sporting Fingal in TC's first game in charge up by the motorway near the airport.

[wullie]

AUL is up road from Bewleys at end of M50 under flightpath for Dublin Airport

[Tallanted]

That game v sporting fingal was in the oscar traynor center in coolock

[L.T.F.C.]

Would someone mind pointing it out for me on maps?! Would be appreciated!

B in the photo is the AUL Complex, its on the back road at Bewleys(C on the map) at the end of the M50 Northbound heading towards the Malahide Road

[Longfordian]

Rumour has it we're playing Cork in a friendly too. Don't know if that's in Longford or Cork but I'd guess at Longford as we've only one home friendly so far and I can't see us as "a poor little First Division club" forking out for the travel down there!

Travel down there < Match Officials at home?

[Macy]

Travel down there < Match Officials at home?
And they call me a cynic.

[Longfordian]

Travel down there < Match Officials at home?

Good point actually there'd probably be little in the difference given the cost of officials when a Premier Division team is involved. At least Sligo might bring a few with them.

[outspoken]

It's a great point alright, your looking at at least 700-800 euro for match officials but you'd be hoping to get at least 100 people in the gate but then with electricity costs etc it prob does work out cheaper to play away amazing really, saying that I hope it's at home (:

please let this by on a Friday night!

[Acornvilla]

please let this by on a Friday night!
Hopefully :D

[Longfordian]

It seems that Cork game is provisionally fixed for Clonmel on the 11th February. I guess Clonmel is handier for travelling back to Dublin/Kildare for most of our lads. Don't know who'll be paying for the officials mind you, maybe they'll do it 50/50?

[outspoken]

Just heard De Town are playing Sacred Heart tomorrow night in Tallaght.

[Pauro 76]

Do fans of Sacred Heart, place all their trust in them?

[L.T.F.C.]

Score?

[Tallanted]

2-1 to sacred heart

[Tallanted]

Playing Rovers in Tallaght on Tuesday 21st Feb at 8pm

[outspoken]

Garry Cronnin scored the goal last night. Anyone know the line up or anything like that? And delighted to hear were playing Rovers

[Tallanted]

Hunt Dowling Deans Haverty Lee Crawley James Salmon O'Brien Bermingham Dongo(Trialist)

[L.T.F.C.]

Dongo?

[Tallanted]

Trialist, taken off at half time

[Longfordian]

Hmm, Dongo eh? He sounds great. A trip to Tallaght may have to be done for the Rovers game. Haven't been there yet.

[Martinho II]

Tallanted any idea who town subs were last night? were there many people at it? I assume there were proper officials at it..

also any idea why we have so many away friendlies.. heard last night that We couldnt play Newbridge Town in the end so Sacred Heart took their place..

[Longfordian]

I'd imagine most friendlies are away due to the cost of the officials.

[Martinho II]

Take the leixlip west turn of the n4, go down to 2nd roundabout(intel is at this roundabout) take the right and its at the next lights after lidl on the right hand side

[L.T.F.C.]

Just in case any of you missed it LTFC have been drawn away to Bray in the Leinster Senior Cup 4th round with all ties being played Feb. 29th, I know its a sh1t competition but id love to win it all the same.

[L.T.F.C.]
