    Lester's been captain in the pre-season games I've seen anyway. Capacity is about 4,500 officially these days.

    I thought Longfordian that Philip Byrne would be skipper maybe Im wrong?
    Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

    Lester was skipper against Rovers and Ucd anyway that's all I know can't remember if he started v Cork. Who was captain v Fingal? I know Byrne wasn't playing but wasn't there myself.

    Sure who'd know the difference in their readership?. If I were a gambling man my money would be on Lester. He was captain in the game against UCD that Byrne started. Just brazen it out Acorn!

    lester has had the armband in every game he has played so far. Id be suprised if he didnt get it. He is suspended for 1st game though
    If god wanted us to play football in the clouds he would have put grass up there!

    Not a fan of goalkeeper captains in general unless they're by a long way the longest serving player you have and it'd be an insult to overlook them. Happy with Shanahan being vocal without being captain tbh.

    Forgot he was suspended but agreed in general. Tony Cousins knows him well and he's very experienced at this stage.

    I think Gary Cronin was captain in Monaghan, saw a photo of the team from that game and he had the armband on. I'd say it was John Lester in Limerick
