Longford away

[Gerry Desmond]

Apparently, the LTFC - CCFC opening league game at Flancare is now on at 4.00pm on Sunday 12 August, and NOT on Saturday as previously thought.
BTW, couldn't get confirmation of the Millstreet game last evening as expected but Citygirl has mentioned elsewhere that 'Grassroots' in the Echo (Wed evening) stated the game would ko @ Millstreet Town Park @ 3pm.

will there be (m)any city fans at the matches?
I know the supporters club are planning a trip to longford and i hope to make it to both, so i might see you there.

[James]

yea thats right. Not sure 100% yet but think there will be a supporters club / fun-bus going to the game.
Also there is a meeting of the Supporters Club on next tuesday night in the Lough tavern. All new members more then welcome.

[Gerry Desmond]

...more fans might travel because it's Sunday afternoon rather than Saturday night? I would have thought so myself...
Longford changed to Sunday because of their UEFA Cup tie.

I'll let you know closer to the day what my plans are.
I would have to try and get pitch-side access for it so I'll know early next week if I'm going and if so wheather my journey will begin in "Da Capitol" of "Da Real Capitol".

I presume Longford Town will be compensating anyone who is booked on the 7:10p.m. flight from Dublin to Gatwick on next Sunday evening for the inconvenience of only being able to watch about the first 15 minutes of the game due to their retardedness in picking a kick-off time.
