    Seems like a good deal all round.

    Story is that the FAI are putting in a full size floodlit astro and that Mick has the option to buy the lot back in 10 years for a 'modest sum'

    wouldnt you think the FAI would improve better access into the ground as no offence but you have to go for two miles to go into the back entrance of it and same again. I cant think of any other ground like this!
    Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

    Something to do with planning regulation. It wouldn't be so bad if they'd at least find a way to have the road upgraded!

    The complex was designed for access from the N11 but the NRA have always refused it on safety issues. However, a new motorway bypass (which cuts through the upper corner of Ferrycarrig Park) is underway & may change that and we may get permission. Those that know the road are aware the condition is in and the last few months have not been kind to it. Gonna be fun watching newbie fans trying to find us this season

    How many clubs haven't played in Wexford?

    Derry and Cork have I know, from the cups.

    Galway and Longford in the First Division.

    Fairly sure Rovers were there one year?

    Good news. Off topic, do Wexford enter the Leinster Senior Cup? Maybe Sligo have never played in Ferrycarrig ?

    Sligo are the only LOI team that Wexford Youths have never played, either in competition or in a friendly. As for the LSC, we always enter it. We're playing away to Athlone this year

    He said as much. He said that Wexford played Derry and Cork City in the cup (and both played in the First Division), and Galway and Longford in the First Division.

    Just did a quick check there in relation to current LOI teams that have played at Ferrycarrig Park, only Sligo Rovers and Shamrock Rovers are the only 2 sides never to have played either a League of Ireland, FAI Cup, EA Sports Cup or Leinster Senior Cup at that venue. Although Shamrock Rovers 'B' team did play there in 2014.

    Complete list of current LOI teams to have played at Ferrycarrig Park in either League of Ireland, FAI Cup, EA Sports Cup or Leinster Senior Cup:

    Athlone Town
    Bohemians
    Bray Wanderers
    Cabinteely
    Cobh Ramblers
    Cork City
    Derry City
    Drogheda United
    Dundalk
    Finn Harps
    Galway United
    Limerick
    Longford Town
    Shelbourne
    St. Patrick's Athletic
    UCD
    Waterford United
