longford town fc XI versus Liverpool XI

**Martinho II** · 22/06/2010, 5:14 PM

I see in todays longford news that we are due to play a liverpool legends XI in early september I believe. I wonder is this a normal ltfc XI? What do ye think? It should be a laugh especially to see the Irish Liverpool players..

Probably be a mixture of the current squad and guests I'd imagine. A lot of Liverpool fans about Longford unfortunately so there'll probably be a decent crowd if there's a bit of publicity. The general idea is that the dinner goes a long way to paying the costs involved if things go to plan.

If the line ups scouse enough, I might even do it in person!

I wouldn't pay anything more than a fiver to see that game. Would you not try and organise a proper friendly like we were with Real Madrid?

**Macy** · 24/06/2010, 2:40 PM

Madrid teams are so last season...

At least we're trying to lure the 'REAL' Madrid not their inferior neighbours from across the city!!!

**Cabs88** · 28/06/2010, 11:16 AM

doesnt look likely the madrid game will go ahead, then again it would been the only way athlone will have a 'european' fixture in my memory!

Macy, a chance for you (or some hatchet man of your choosing) to really let the legends know how you feel about them all up close and personal.

**outspoken** · 14/07/2010, 11:43 AM

Jason McAteer and Don hutchingson are just 2 of the names confirmed on the Liverpool legends team so far!!!!!.......it would be class if Ian Rush would play!!!

There was a squad list sent over alright by the company that represents them, there's a regular squad of them that go around the circuit. Harps had them not so long ago from recollection. The squad lists are usually accurate enough as regards the travelling squad as there's contracts signed and there's a decent bit of cash in it for them so there should be some "names" alright.
