Longford v Athlone is most definitely a derby. Just a pity it has to take place in Div 1.:(Quote:

Agree with that. Looking forward to it already so we can do three in a row after our victory in the Shane Brennan Memorial match and the League Cup the season gone by.Quote:

highly likely actually! people fail to realise just how close to each other distance wise athlone and longford are... there'll be a sizeable contingent at that game that wont be seen near flancare park or lissywollen for the rest of the year...Quote:

I know exactly how close they are.Maybe a big crowd for the first game for the novelty factor but I still dont think it will hit 2,000.Longford couldnt get that in the Premier when the bigger EL clubs were in town with large travelling supports.Athlone well their average attendance was little more than 500 last year so I doubt it would be four times that even if it is a local derby.Quote:
