right Longfordian got an answer! I simply went onto our website and counted the no of scorers for each season individually!
Surprisingly enough it is 2003 season with 19 individual goalscorers!
heres the list!

sorry read the original question wrong
thought Longfordian was asking most amount of players to play in a season!!
My bad!!
I looked it up as I'm on a bus with nothing better to do. The winner is 86/87 when we used 46 players. Next most is 2008 and 89/90 (I think) with 35.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Get on it Marty!sorry read the original question wrong

I have done it in the past at home. Longfordian is dead right. 86/87 season was a horrible season for us. we got into financial difficulty halfway through the season and Billy Bagster and the whole squad left and we had to go local!Get on it Marty!

Jesus our LSC record is rotten 😂
Meant to post this a little sooner, I have quite a good record of stats from all teams that have played in the League of Ireland but it is only confined to regular league matches only at the moment (still have to update for all comps), so anyone want to know any particular or unique league only stat or stats regarding Longford Town, pretty sure I could attain most if not all requests. (Team stats only, e.g. longest unbeaten run)
PS: Great work Marty!
cheers the Boss!I dont know if you keep LOI B Stats as I have trouble getting team lineouts and goalscorers for Longford Town. We played in it from 80/81 to 83/84. I know the Longford Leader went on strike for nine months in 1983 which devestates my stat gathering or if you have any pointers of who to ask I would be grateful!

Can't help you there Marty, that's almost an impossible ask, I have not completed the 'B' Division results as of yet, I'm finding it hard enough trying to find results in that league, let alone trying to find the lineups and goalscorers! If I do find some things, I'll inform you almost straight away.
Did the League of Ireland B become the Reserve Division? I remember years ago it was just one division with all clubs in it including DCU if I'm not mistaken. Did we remove our team from this and put it into the Connacht League? I was only a gossun at the time and have only vague memories of this.
I am thinking along the same lines too! The League of Ireland B was a forerunner to the A League we had a few yrs ago. Back then it was all the one division and played the likes of the top flights reserve sides plus the likes of Monaghan Town and Dublin University. Once the league got split into the two divisions the League of Ireland B disappeared and changed its name!

Fair Play to you Marty. That’s some amount of research. If it is of any benefit to you our reserve team or "The B Team" as we were known locally played in the Connacht Senior League First Division in the 1995/96 season, along with Longford Celtic. The towns record that season was Played 18, Won 5, Draw 3, Lost 10, GF 28, GA 46, Pts. 18.
The truth fears no questions...
It's only when the tide goes out that you learn who's been swimming naked
I seem to remember a 'C' team at one stage too. Played in the local league I think. Not too sure why there was a need for it but it definitely existed.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
right more stats for ye!
Amount of games played at each home ground Longford Town played in 1984-2015.
Abbeycartron 158 St Mels Park 1 Showgrounds(Sligo) 1 Rugby Grounds 8 Mullogher/Flancare/CCS 444. Total played at home 612.
Last season 2015 was the highest amount of league goals we have scored since 2003 in the top flight when we scored 46 goals!
We broke the record for most goals conceded in a top flight season. The previous highest was 51 in 2002!
Paul Hunt broke the alltime record for appearances made in the Leinster Senior Cup.
Alltime list top 10 Leinster Senior Cup appearances 1984-2015.
7- Paul Hunt

Also for the second time in our history we finished above Sligo Rovers -the first in the top flight!
In 88/89 season we finished in 8th position in the First Division. Sligo Rovers were bottom in the division in 10th and had to seek reelection!
