    Markets Field Renovations??

    Any movements up in the Markets Field yet lads?Will the playing surface be re-laid? I presume it would not currently be up to LOI standard.

    As far as I know nothing has been done up there yet. The club are currently looking into the 3G pitches like the one Dundalk use at the moment. From reports on them though they seem very expensive to maintain even if they can be rented out during the week.

    Club are also looking into some machine taht helps to maintain it far better that Dundalk dont have...Thats what im told anyway. And they should be starting some sort of work very soon.

    What would the general consensus be amongst supporters on these synthethic pitches. Personally i'd be more of a traditionalist and favour the natural surface but i wouldn't knock the club for thinking outside the box on this one. What's the story with the bar facility up there.Nice little earner surely for the club if it can be retained?

    Id eb in favour of the synthethic pitches the club can make miny off it and its a good playing surface and you dont really ahve to worry about games being called off due to waterlogging.

    Someone from teh club was telling me at the dogs night that they will have 2 bars when they move in but that they need work done on them 1st.

    I wouldn't mind either way to be honest. The synthetic seems like the route to go down if it can be profitable from renting. If its going to be expense to run I see no need for it.

    Its going to be great to have a bar. Even for people that don't drink its good to have somewhere to go before or after the games. You'd be suprised how many more people would make there way up for this reason too. I used to like going up to Kildare and Cobh cause it was great to go in for a quick pint and relax before going out to watch the match. Promotions on the drink like the ones I see Dundalk and Shels do would be very welcome also

    Its a patch of grass full of dog ****e so id wouldnt say so, im sure any major work would need planning permission sorted and bars need licences so I wouldnt be expecting much for a while yet.

    No idea, didnt get a good enough offer yet? As for the MF, well im not sure but surely any development has to go through a planning process I presume. No point in lobbing up a few toilets, dressing rooms and terrace cause we'll have the same ones in 20 years and be moaning it should have been done right first time round.

    Is it possible that the sacking of Pat Scully might be announced at this conference?

    Also there was a piece in todays sun saying that Limerick have signed Dennis Behan and Gary Gamble, what's the truth in that?

    According to POS in last weeks match program the Markets Field was only officially handed over last week so this is probably why there was a delay in announcing plans etc...
