    Good to see the likes of Longford attracting clubs like Sheff Utd here. Cant see Rovers pulling something like that off.

    Great chance for the band wagon fans to come out of the closet again and then dissappear back into the sunset.. A big crowd at the ucd game on the saturday before would be more appropriate than a big crowd at a friendly with a championship side..Its fans for league games we need badly

    Can't see it selling out so I'll probably go to this. Don't call me a bandwagoner, I've been to Flancare 3 times this season and only once was cos of a Rovers game.

    Maybe ye can get some advice in advance of appealing your relegation re: point deductions?

    Has there been much of a take up in tickets?

    Just read on yer website:
    There is a great buzz around Longford and indeed around
    the Midlands
    and even further afield as the visit draws near.
    To be honest I heard that little about it around here that I totally forgot
    the game was on. Probably tip over to see it if our reserve team havent
    got a game fixed for Tuesday.

    Actually, just chatting to a work mate from Longford (just outside the town)
    and he didnt even know the game was on!

    People have been on to the club from various places including people from Athlone and from Wexford. It's been advertised on the radio and was supposed to be in local papers this week, haven't seen them myself.There's been a bit of talk about it but a lot of people would be waiting to see the weather forecast I'd imagine. Sheffield are expecting to bring a few hundred with them

    Just rang LTFC. Tickets available at the ground tomorrow.
    Nowhere near selling out according to the lad I was talking to.

    As the ltfc.ie says

    Tuesday night 24 July should be one of the biggest sporting nights of the year.
    Forget the hay or silage, cut the lawn an other night, get a ticket for yourself and one
    for a friend and come out to Flancare for what promises to be a really special night.

    what a spirited performance by the town they really went at sheffield really really unlucky not to have drawn or even won the game think alan o'riordan is starting to really fit into the team nicely and deego is excellent in midfield in the last few games hopefully we can get a positive result now in friday in bray

    Very good performance from Longford alright. Ye really need to sign a good striker though, Mooney and Baker are terrible. All the chances that were created were just wasted with their weak shots. Good turn-out too, pity they don't show up for league games, I hate barstoolers

    Problem is that strikers are the most expensive commodity in football. Could really do with unearthing one from somewhere though.Good performance from the lads, they all give absolutely everything every time. We've recruited some new Sheffield supporters who are coming to follow us in Bray on Friday too! Should be amusing.
