Town Website

Just to let you all know that i'm updating it the last. No table to put up at the moment, squad profiles will go up when we have a squad finalised.

As regards the lotto results, the company 'local lotto' have been asked more than once to show me how to update this section but i'm still waiting.

New sections can be looked at once the season is up and running.

One thing i would like to see on the site is online merchandise sales. I know this isnt going to generate a huge amount of interest or sales, but every penny counts and there are plenty of people I'm sure who would be interested in buying merchandise but dont get to the games / town too much (myself included).

Another thing which i think would look good is town stats and figures - most league appearances, goals, most goals in a season, players capped at various levels while with the town, etc

its all and well and good riffraff but the problem is that there is very little stats of the town available in the domain mainly because we were crap for a long time.. I am in the process of doing research on the town since the 84-85 season.. I have eight seasons covered till 92-93 season so far.. it will take time to get all of the stats.. i dont think too many people know who made most appearances for town..rest of it are straight forward enough..

Sorry Martinho - I'd assumed that someone in the club had been keeping records of teams etc since joining the league. If thats not the case then yes it is going to be a huge job to get all that info and I appreciate how much work youre putting into it. I do think that with todays internet obcessed world, curious people will be logging on to Longford Towns website from around the world, cos they have seen the name somewhere and are curious and in that sense an informative and up to date website reflects on how well organised the club is, or thats how people may see it.

Trawling through old newspapers, getting the team-sheet from each match and then compiling the season stats from that is the best way to go.

Fair play to both ye fellas (Sorbo the Greek and Martinho). I'd have a guess and say Digger might have most appearances in League of Ireland for us, although not too sure on how many years Zac played for us????

Always thought someone should of been keeping track of appearances goalscorers etc.....
I'm away for a year now and missed half of last season and a good chunk of this season coming so just to keep me going I started to keep a log of the team line outs, appearances, goalscorers and transfers. Thats why I was asking about last years team!!

I found a website Martinho that gives all clubs teams and results up to 3 seasons ago if thats any help to ya? Although in one of the seasons I think there misssing 3 or so games. Here's the link for it.

i am using old archives on longford leader at the moment so am better starting from scratch.. i dont think the site is reliable for appeatances but it wouldnt have individual teamsheets.. i would love to know who has made the most appearances for us in the eircom league.. i know zac played from 84-85 to jan 92 for us except for six mths with athlone.. reckon hes in with a shout.. digger was there from 98-99 to 05 season so it would have to be him and sean prunty or zac .. it will take a while to find out but my guess is that digger could run zac close for most league appearances

has the site been disbanded? was tryin to go on it there but cant access it

**Longfordian** · 13/02/2009, 3:15 PM

The domain name is up for renewal at this time of year I think so they might have not gotten around to paying the hosting company. Only costs 30 or 40 quid or something so should be sorted out easily enough I'd imagine. Hasn't been disbanded anyway as far as I know.
