LTFC vs ATFC

**RonnieB** · 28/04/2008, 11:51 AM

So them first time in a long time we will have played them in a league fixture. Hopefully we can keep our unbeaten streak of two games going and get a win over them Saturday night. Anyone know if McKenna will be fit in time? Really want to see us win this one.

We hate Athlone and we hate Athlone.....

AND YOU'LL NEVER WALK IN ATHLONE, ON YOUR OWN, IN THE DARK, WITHOUT FEAR IN YOUR HEART, AND YOU'LL NEVER WALK IN ATHLONE!!!

Cant wait for this one, great to have a local derby to look forward to, and 3 points would be great

Going home for my first game of the season. Can't wait for this one! Bring it on.

**Battery Rover** · 28/04/2008, 6:00 PM

It must be one of the only matches in LOI where people attend and don't go to another match until the teams meet again

**max power** · 28/04/2008, 6:01 PM

I won't even be at this one

**RonnieB** · 02/05/2008, 1:35 PM

One day to go! Cant fecking wait. Hope there is a good crowd at it. To all the lads in Section O bring every flag , scarf, novelty hairbrush you can find

Get in there early and make yourselves heard. I shall be there hobbling and may have to sit down watching the game. Going to be very odd.....

**Martinho II** · 02/05/2008, 3:11 PM

believe the game is now a seven thirty kick off game... long time waiting for this local derby in the league and we want revenge for them knocking us out of a penalty shootout last season...

**Longfordian** · 02/05/2008, 3:20 PM

Looking forward to this one. Should be a bit of an edge to it given that there's so many ex-players of either team involved. McKenna is apparently fit again too so he should be another option up front. It'd be nice to get the three points.

**Martinho II** · 02/05/2008, 3:30 PM

and we have fsix ex athlone players the four we signed from athlone in preseason plus iarlaith davoren gary murphy. athlone have two lavine and byrne. Im sure Lavine will get a great reception from us...

Was it Galway that originally sang it?Cos over the years I've heard 3 different teams sing it, Us,Galway and bizarely Athlone?

On the game,been waiting for a long time for this,hopefully Athlone will bring a big crowd!Should be a big crowd in section o!I think me and a good few of the boys will be popping into jonh joes around 6 to get things going early!Dont agree with the 7.30 kick off,a 7.30 kick off always means that people wont stop coming in until at least 7.45...
