......but a couple of us are planning on staying in bogford for the match on saturday. Set dancing stuff on or something so we cant get a place to stay. We've checked nearly everywhere now!!

Anyone able to help or any ideas??

Doesnt have to be classy or anything - just need a roof over our heads for a couple of hours.

Right lads, we've rang all them - all booked out.

Looks like we might be staying in Edgewardstown if we dont get sorted out soon and have to get a taxi in and out which im sure will cost a fortune (presume around 40 yoyos??)

Is there anywhere closer to bogford than edgewardstown??

Stupid set dancing!!

**Longfordian** · 17/11/2004, 1:14 PM

It wont cost 40 euro anyway, fifteen or twenty at the very max it's only about six miles out. Try newtownforbes maybe, that's about three miles out of town, im sure there's a b n b somewhere

**Dillo** · 17/11/2004, 1:15 PM

Aye Frankie Kilbride will look after ye in The Park House in Edgeworthstown alright! No better man.
Either that or try The Shannon Key West Hotel in Rooskey. It's a bit further out but it's a beautiful setting overlooking the Shannon and the grub is top notch.
Ye may aswell make a weekend out of it

Here's a link to the full list on the Longford tourism website:

Don't think the hostel is still open. Think it may be converted into apartments AKIK.

Richmond Inn in Clondra is a couple of miles out the Strokestown Road, past the ground. Tarmonbarry is just over the Shannon and beside Clondra, further half mile down the road.

It's �12 in for me coming in seven miles so shouldn't be more than �15 even allowing for a drogs surcharge....

**max power** · 17/11/2004, 2:56 PM

are sheep extra ????

**missfootie** · 17/11/2004, 3:03 PM

Try McPartlands in Clondra.... Town supporters grate crack and good grud it might be a bit out of town but not as far as Edgewortstown. Worth a try neway....

**Cosmo** · 17/11/2004, 4:15 PM

Booked that hotel in edgewardstown. Cheers lads.

now to more important matters. Pubs/ nightclubs for different moods.

3 matches on the box from saturday midday - wheres the best spot to watch the footie?

Prematch pints - i like the valentine - any other decent spots?

How the f_-k do you lot get back into town after match? Seems like a good walk!!

Postmatch:

- any decent pubs on a saturday night??

Nightclubs:

- presume they're pretty 'relaxed' ie no bull like 'they're not proper shoes' etc.

Depending on our mood we need to know:

- nightclub with nice (and ahem, easy) birds?

- best nightclub in town?

- chilled out nightclub?

**Longfordian** · 17/11/2004, 4:25 PM

You have two nightclubs to choose from on Saturday, Blazers and Blue, both are fairly easy going, no dress code rubbish, alot of Town fans will be in Blue I'd say as the end of season do is on in that bar/club (PV'S)..Blazers is the biger of the two clubs, that's in the Longford Arms.Decent footie pubs..Valentine's, maybe Eamon Farrells, the Tally Ho is a real soccer pub. big LTFC pub, fairly small though..On weekends pubs are all busy mainly the Market Bar, Eamons PV's and Valentines, also Escabar and John Joe's of course, Section O HQ!..As for geting back in to town, most get lifts as there's always cars heading back in, m sure some of ye're lot will be on buses or have room for ye to get into town

**Sin�ad** · 17/11/2004, 4:52 PM

I think it might be worth pointing out that they don't allow runners in Blazers - as far as I know, I stand to be corrected though!

**town73** · 17/11/2004, 5:12 PM

The best places to watch footie in Longford are Eamon Farrell's and Tally Ho. Eamon's will have a crowd and a big screen.

Tally Ho is for those who prefer the quality pint of Guinness in comfort (cracking pint). They'll have the games on and, like Eamons, should have the sound turned up for soccer. I would say it's a bit like Clarke's pub in Drogheda (I think that's the name of it), but without the partitions. You might have competition for horse racing in

There's a bookies in between the two pubs for those that like a punt (Bruce's).

For pre-match pints, there'll be a few Town fans in Tally Ho and Valentines, possibly.

Not advisable to walk. Getting back into town after the match can be tricky. You could try booking a taxi. There are a few usually parked outside picking up people who have booked. Nevins 086 2595690.

Pubs on a Saturday night - Eamons, Valentines and PVs.

Post match PVs will be the place to go. The nightclub Blue is adjoined to PVs, while Blazers is down the town, in behind the Longford Arms Hotel. Gets a younger crowd, AFAIK, haven't been there in a while.
