4-2 Town now, 60 mins in.

So that's 29 goals in four meetings. Unbelievable. With excitement like that, that's definitely an incentive for Longford to stay down for another season or two!

Great to see Longford and blues hammering in the goals ahead of the playoffs. I honestly think whoever finishes 2nd will win the FD play-off but can't see either of us beating a premier side over 2 legs.

Yep, I agree. No doubt if we got to the final play-off, I'd convince myself we were going to win and set myself up for another heartbreak, but as it stands, I think Shels, Bray or Bohs would beat us.

Plus don't rule Mervue out. If they were to beat ye next week, they'd probably finish top three.

Don't worry I haven't ruled mervue out all season, superb footballing side.

In normal circumstances i would love to see Mervue get playoffs, but the fact that they are most likely pulling out of the league, i would rather a Waterford vs Longford playoff.

In my opinion id say at least 300 from Athlone. Very little Salthill fans. Maybe 10-20.

I certainly hope Athlone bring up a couple of hundred to Finn park. Genuinely fear for harps if we keep falling as bad as we are. Never seen a more shocking second half of a season ever.

We should have a big crowd up Nigel. If we wrap it up this week it wont be as big in harps but will still have a good crowd.
The fact that its on a friday is a killer too. If it was saturday our crowd up would probably double

We should hit the 2000 easily. The whole town is buzzing with everyone talkng about it. Record crowd for "The Woollen" is 2000 for the opening game in 2007.
