    You'll surely bring more than that - if the game was in Bray I'd expect us to have 200 at least for a last 8 game.
    It would be a bad show if there wasn't a 1000 for a cup quarter. Big push needed by FAI and both clubs to promote this game.

    Who did we beat in the quarters in 2007?. I'm gone blank.
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

    In a perfect world we would bring 600/700 hundred but that aint the case, last season for our 1/4 final reply against Galway (2 Premier Division clubs) there was only about 400 in total in the Carlisle Grounds for it. Shocking stuff !

    If your looking for a big gate them it'll be the home fans that will make it a big gate. Now if we had of been away to Bohs or Rovers i reckon we could have brought 150 upwards.

    We just don't have the hardcore support to bring 200+ down to Longford

    Why don't the people of Bray support Bray?

    If i answer that honestly i'll be banned for using the F and C words too much

    No matter what we've done we struggle to get people in the gates, only when we are successful do people come out in numbers.

    I was just thinkin last night Ex Town player Daire Doyle is playing for Bray. I always had respect for him and Im sure he will get a good town welcome.. His good mate Stephen Gough had three spells with Bray and Ray Kenny had two spells with Bray.. Goughie is playin the best football of his career since he has being moved in front of the back four considering the way his bray career ended Im sure he will be well up for it.. Cant think of any other players that have played for both clubs thats on the current panel..
    Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

    What a stupid question, it's not like Bray are somehow the exception...

    There aren't many other clubs based right in the middle of their town/city.

    Take Derry for example. The Brandywell is in the middle of their support area and they get a good few thousand.

    And Bray are in the middle of the second biggest town in Ireland and get rubbish attendances.

    Dane Massey and Gareth Coughlan trained with us at the start of last season but Eddie got in there first to sign them

    I knew Coughlan was training with you, it was a few weeks into the season when we signed him. But i thought Dane was with us the past 2 seasons, are you sure it wasn't his brother who we released last year ? not sure myself but thought Dane was with us before the start of last season.

    We've just re-signed Gary Cronin and if memory serves me correct that makes it 2 each on the ex-player front. Any word on the day of the game? If it's saturday or sunday will have to get work off
    I'd love to invent a time machine then go back in time and win the lottery, buy new players and a stadium. Time machines are brilliant aren't they- Ian Holloway

    I'd be 90% sure it'll be Saturday. Don't see any reason why it wouldn't be.
