    I disagree. The warehouse is directly beside the middle of nowhere.

    It's really not that far from town though.

    Sure the Strokestown Road will bring you anywhere in a jiffy.

    Would you walk from Longford Town to City Calling Stadium? I certainly wouldn't.

    I did once. It was weird. Really foggy, and the lights of cars coming over the hill gave off a gleam like a UFO before they crested it.

    Well, jiffy in a car. The only time I've ever been at the Flansiro was on the way to Mayo. Never took a game in there. Yet.

    Oriel was the other one that caused a second and third glance
    The Model Club

    Tell all the Bohs you know
    that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
    and it's not gonna be three
    and it's not gonna be four
    it's more likely to be 5-1.

    Longford Town's ground is what 2.5-3 mile from the town it would take a good 30/40 minutes to walk out. I count that as middle of nowhere

    I did. Almost half an hour with no footpath at some points, luckily was at the peak of summer where it was still day when I arrived in the city. And had to wait until 0230 am for the bus back to Dublin. I will never forget that day.
