Most accommodation in Longford has the old system of phoning it's even worse in Laois they still use the morse code system. You could try http://www.pvslongford.ie/accomodation_1.html#

What's his options..Westmeath or Roscommon?
Christ I think I'd take me chances in Longford.
Unless of course he likes the bestiality then Roscommon is the place to go.

You could do worse than The Richmond Inn in Clondra -- a few miles outside the town, but a good spot.

You could actually buy a house in one of ghost estates in the area, probably work out as cheap.

Carrick on shannon is where I'd go. Btw, go into the seated area as the view in the terrace is a joke, probably the worst terracing built in the country.

If ur looking for craic and drinks then stay in PV's. Great bar with accommodation above it. There's a niteclub across the road if you fancy it later on. Good town for craic on a sat night.

As I recall, the Derry folk were always very fond of Ballymahon.  I'll get me coat.

Ah - glorious glorious Ballymahon-sur-mer.

Whatever happened to Da Bishop? He had a quare puss on him when Longford beat Derry in Ballymahon in a League match in......oh.....2005 or thereabouts. Gave out about the pitch and the fact that one side was an open field with cows munching grass watching Jamsie Martin have a stormer.

Oh, the craic we had.

Tarmonbarry is nice.  You could stay in Keenans hotel.  Only 10minutes from Longford and has a couple of nice pubs.

No. I've been in Pearse park twice in last while. The u21 semi this year being the last and no one in the terrace can see 2 meters inside the near side line. If you stand in the middle you can see nothing at the two near corners. Like I said, its a kip and amazing that it was built that way as there was a better view when there were grass banks.

Any, just cos there is a special place in the ground for OAP's like you with a perfect view you shouldn't forget the rest of us.

Like Athlone, Ballagh and all Roscommon border towns, the struggle continues............

(Although I think Keenan's is on the right side of the river).

Got into Longford Arms lads; apparently as someone said earlier that they are not too fond of the PC down that part of the world!!!I rung up and there are plenty of rooms free so Longford town I come next Saturday night.

Down in time to for a few pints and watch Donegal hammer Tyrone, then out to watch Derry play, back to hit an oul trad bar for a bit of singing and then hit a local nightclub for a bit of boggying.......Longford Town has it all.

And then the chipper at end of the night for the fight.
