Whatever about the 'home' crowd, Longford was historically the stuff of nightmares for 'away' fans many an away fan took days to dry out after a fixture there on a rainy/day night !
Given the number of tourists (especially Dublin clubs) and the easier travel to away games (brighter evenings, better weather) which are undoubtedly boosting the crowds there is no chance of a return to the freezing wet nights of yore. Not for all the scalding Bovril in Ireland
