Markets Field Renovations??

**mastershake** · 23/06/2011, 7:33 PM

Good stuff.Looks like the existing stand and pavilion will be kept and three smaller stands added.This is really all they should be looking at for the time being.See if we can draw a good fan base first, seek promotion and build on things from there.We're finally home.

Looks good alright. Great to finally see plans.

That's what the completed stadium will look like. Capacity 8100. First phase is pitch and floodlights, revamp and re-roofing of existing stand. Upgraded bar and new dressing rooms in corner beside existing stand. No track around pitch which is great.

Now that Pat Sullivan has confirmed that the Markets Field will be ready for lift off in just 8 months time i presume that the first sod will be turned in the immediate future considering the tight time frame.The playing surface will obviously need immediate attention to be ready in time.It would be great if any posters here could take a few pictures of the progress. Exciting times....

Talking to one the lads involved with club about a week ago he said they are still sorting out contracts and said what they are getting done will be finished in no time though.
They are still hoping to have 3,00 seats in by the start of next season.

With the effort that went into the community day in Carew Pk today they should fly through it. Well done to all involved.

**gael353** · 18/08/2011, 10:44 PM

What do people think of the three day event held by limerick fc and others in Carew park over the last few days? im not from the area so id like to know what locals thought. and on the markets field itself ive been told that work should begin on it in early December but clearance work can pretty much happen anytime.

The plans unveiled are impressive. Hopefully the return to the spiritual home will get the support of the Limerick public.

They are hoping to have a final capacity of 8,100 but it will be done in phases.

Jesus that would be great, best of luck with it.

**Shannonsider** · 28/09/2011, 7:15 PM

Has anyone any update on how Phase 1 is going? I havnt got a chance to go in around Markets Fields in the last couple of weeks but there didnt seem to be much progress for outside the ground when I passed. Any information on this? Will it be ready by March?

**gael353** · 28/09/2011, 10:09 PM

Lots of surveys done and the levels all taken and compleated in the last week. When the build starts it will be a short build so expext late nov/early dec for any real movement. Bulldozers in first to bulldoze out anything not essential
