Bulls**t...............
I heard something similiar the other day, but didnt know they were
waiting till the end of the season. Thought it was just a matter of
time before everything went pear shaped and they dropped out.
Struggling to pay wages and a few of their players heading our way
apparently!
Not being a WUM by the way, its just what I heard, and as much as
I hate Longford, I hate even more to see any club go t!ts up.
If they were going to do that surely they'd have all their players on the way out in July?
Longford may be in bother but a few years in the first building themselves up again and they should be grand. Many clubs have stared extinction in the face and survived- but of course some have not. With Longford sitting on a decent asset in Flancare I just can't see them quitting the league.
I hate to see any club in danger of extinction. Hopefully they can put things right and turn it around for next year.
I cant see them quitting the league altogether. It would be a huge shame. As was mentioned, they have a good asset there in flancare park.
Can we baggsy your ground?*
*akin to the old joke about good news and bads new from the doc to the lad getting his legs amputated.......
We're not going out of business any time soon.There are certainly debts, that's no great secret but they're being dealt with.We're not dropping out of the league either. All players have also been paid to date and none are thinking about heading for Athlone. We are going in all likelihood but those involved are confident that we'll be challenging to get back up very quickly. There was a couple of statements on the website recently setting out the situation. Look them up.
People are kind of untrusting of statements like that these days. Everyone remembers the assurances that used be posted on Shels' site. Still, I'll believe Longford are dropping out when I see it.Quote:

Kind of missed a crucial word in that sentence, me thinks.Quote:

Bit of a contradiction there so longfordian. You say noone is giving up on anything then you say we are going down. Until it is mathematically possible keep the faith son!!
Point taken. We're going to win the cup and stay up!
keep the faith ... don't lose the plot!!!Quote:
