Stay in Jackman because I have no clue where that hogan place is!
It's simple to find. Follow the smoke.
For me its a no brainer...............deal with the LDMC for another few months, stay put in Jackman Park and hopefully by mid-season when LFC are top of Div1 move into the Markets field when its complete, if that doesnt drive the team on to finish the season as champions, I dont know what will.
Hogan Park and Thomond Park are no-no's IMO

That is precisely the main difference and most important difference. Couldn't see the club getting more than 350 at games out in Hogan next year baring in mind the quality of the opposition. It's much easier for the casual fan to go to a game in town.Originally Posted by bluewhitearmy
Far less of a shíthole than Hogan Park
It does if you park your car in a secure car park, which is what I do
Hogan Park was wider and longer than Jackman but it was re-lined to smaller dimensions recently and now is identical size to Jackman.
A lot of work was done at Hogan Park over the summer in terms of general tidying up around the ground, painting etc, and the pitch was kept in good nick for a while but Jackman still much superior pitch in my opinion. Still a lot of work would need to be done in the dressing rooms, showers, refs room etc at Hogan Park before you could really consider it.
Personally I wouldn't see any logic in leaving Jackman for Hogan Park or anywhere else until the Markets Field is ready, with all the work and hassle that would be involved, there's enough to be doing already with Markets Field move not to add another move into the mix.
Also one of the reasons given for not giving Danny Drews LFC a licence in 2007 was something to do with the facilities at Hogan Park wasn't it? If so then nothings changed since I would have thought.
Ironically, and I've only heard this 2nd hand, Thomond doesn't meet licencing criteria, due to water issues. As I said 2nd hand, but the source is reliable.Agreed
So where do people think we'll play next year
Jackman, Rathbane...or rumoured Thomond Park
1st two I wouldn't mind, prefer Jackman cos it's handier for me

Hypothetical question here lads..If a current Premier league club fail to obtain a premier division licence eg. Bohs due to their financial troubles are we next in line to take their place??
Ha ha that's typical of the licencing.
If Galway are granted a premier licence then they go in before us. Then if limerick get a premier licence we are up next.
Or the broken glass, or just listen for car alarms. My car was broken into three times there over the years, and like many others the only good memories of it go back to the Billy Hamilton days when there was a cracking side, and a decent bar up there.
I'd also seriously think twice about renewing my season ticket if we decided to move to Hogan Park
If anyone should know whats happening in this thread its you
Before the new motorway system, sometimes coming into Limerick would pass a ground on LHS next to a swimming pool, always thought that was Rathbane, or are Rathbane and Hogan Park same venue ?
That's hogan park alright.
The Jacks were a pleasure this year,often brought a bus load of kids to games there,but will def not be getting busses organised for hogan park,it seems to attract a lot of undesirables to say the least,will hardly bother going myself if they go there!!
Fail to prepare,prepare to fail--R.keane.
Hogan parks pitch is shocking lads it can't hold water very well it cuts up very bad it turns into a mud bath iv seen it this season it would kill us the way we play ball. JAckman park for me
I don't know where this rumour about Hogan Park has come about. Serious step backwards in my opinion. No way would Pat' O Sullivan let that happen. Ya some good memories from there because that stand is so close to the pitch there was some great atmospheres up there. But thats about it. Played game there last year and ive seen less sand on a beach. Pitch was in awful state, even the Hill Celtic lads were complaining, so imagine what the top players with Limerick are going to think. Nice tight ground with a good atmosphere, Jackman is very open but thats no reason to move back. It would turn alot of people away as its that bit further out of town.

Hi Lads, my first post on this forum, my first thought on reading "Hogan Park "was Oh Christ no! We went from under Dave o Connell to having the biggest crowds
in the league combined to a few die hards. The reason was simple, cars were being wrecked outside. Nothing will have changed as we all know. Stay away from there please. the field (not pitch) is unplayable to anyone who tries to play soccer. Jackman much better for all for all reasons.
If security is one of the licencing criteria (and I don't know whether it is or isn't) then we wouldn't get a licence to play up there surely???
Well lads. Anyone got any idea where we'll be playing our home games in march?any work done up at the markets
