LTFC offer Shamrock Rovers use of flancare

**Martinho II** · 21/02/2004, 4:29 PM

Got this from ltfc messaging service:

longford have offered shamrock rovers the use of flancare park to the hoops if a dublin based alternative cant be found...

Wot do ya think of that?

imo might ease towns cashflow postion but the hardcore tallaght hoops r the problem.

I'm sure LTFC will have offered it with provisions governing the behaviour of the Fans, they'd be mad not to (not having a go at the majority of Rovers fans, but we all know there's a few troublemakers in there).

I don't think the majority of them would travel to longford every week anyway. They were getting crap crowds in tolka and inchicore, never mind playing home games 60 miles away. It could be a good idea, as you said, it could help the coffers.

I'd welcome them in - the only Dublin club that has caused real trouble in Flancare in recent years are bohs.... A few trying to jib into the stand doesn't count as trouble IMO.....

We need the money, if nothing else - and what are they going to do? Wreck the great seating that's falling off as it is?

I wouldn't have a problem with it.We need the money and as macy said they can't really cause too much trouble out in flancare and as for trouble in town theres allready enough trouble in town what are a few rovers fans gonna do.

Fair dues to de Town. That said Rovers will have to get real desparate to travel 60miles for their homes games with only real travel option by road.

But doesn't the train stop in westmeath or somewhere? i.e. not Longford?
