New Street,
Can't remember (beer and/or lack of sleep fecking up my memory cells)
When we left Abbeycartron
Strokestown Road & Flancare are the same place. It was only because the meeja couldn't handle Mullologher that it was ever Strokestown Road

I think we moved to Mullologher around 1993 or so, could be off a year or two. Where's Marty when you want him?!..Strokestown Road became Flancare Park in 2000/2001,I think it was late 2000.

What kind of quiz is it anyway that has all these LTFC questions?.

Out of curiosity was there ever an earlier town club before 1924 ?
In other words anyone know when game first played in the town ?

Was Longford a garrison town ?

If so, football would've been played locally for decades. If not, then hard to know when the game made it there.

On the route up to Abbeycarton Road is a Barrack Road so hopefully Longford was always well protected.

I have a question, Abbeycarton road became Abbeycartron ground 200 yards further on, was this a townland name or is there another reason/
Or do I have each name mixed up?

[sparkey]

Abbeycartron is the townland name of that area. The area gets its name from the fact that just down from where the football ground is there used to be a monstaic Abbey.

sparkey, thanks for the reply, but I am also wondering about the name of the old ground. Was it AbbeycarTON rather than A-tron or was that an error on the part of reportage?
The road is Abbeycarton Road, yes?

[Longfordian]

The ground was and still is Abbeycartron. Anything else is an error plain and simple.
