A couple of questions I'd be grateful for someone's help with :
1) Longford Town was founded at a meeting in the Temperance Hall. What street is/was that Hall in ?
2) When did the club leave Abbeycartron ?
3) When did the club play at Strokestown Rd ?
4) When did yees move to Flancare ?
Thanks for any help,
Steve
New Street,
Can't remember (beer and/or lack of sleep fecking up my memory cells)
When we left Abbeycartron
Strokestown Road & Flancare are the same place. It was only because the meeja couldn't handle Mullologher that it was ever Strokestown Road :D

What kind of quiz is it anyway that has all these LTFC questions?.

Out of curiosity was there ever an earlier town club before 1924 ?
In other words anyone know when game first played in the town ?
Was Longford a garrison town ?Quote:

On the route up to Abbeycarton Road is a Barrack Road so hopefully Longford was always well protected.
I have a question, Abbeycarton road became Abbeycartron ground 200 yards further on, was this a townland name or is there another reason/
Or do I have each name mixed up?
Abbeycartron is the townland name of that area. The area gets its name from the fact that just down from where the football ground is there used to be a monstaic Abbey.

The road is Abbeycarton Road, yes?
The ground was and still is Abbeycartron. Anything else is an error plain and simple.
