Limerick, first division champions

[cheifo]

I'll raise your negative comment with a concerned, slightly patronising "Have you thought this through properly" comment with a well done at the end.

Negative Comment

Fair enough 1,500 may be a little bit optimistic but never underestimate the Limerick bandwagon. We averaged 677 in a division with pretty much no traveling support, despite winning the league we were brutal in the majority of games at home and the the opposition was nowhere the calibre of whats in the premier but people still managed to come out.

Ahem.

Sarcastic reply.

Not surprised at all to be honest.

If Limerick aren't in in March it'll be because the plans have changed.

The planning process could easily hold ye up. The absolute minimum from when the application is made until work can begin on site is 14 weeks (say mid january, inc. for xmass holidays). That would mean approx. 2 months to get the work completed prior to season starting start of March.
And if youre puting it out to tender straight after planning (assuming its ready to go out) it could be another month before a contractor is on site. Not to mention you need to get your Fire Cert and Disability Cert sorted while planning application is in (takes min. 8 weeks plus how ever long for the Engineers to do it).

It could be very tight time wise and thats barring no Planners futher Information or objections but if youre well prepared its possible.

Fails to see the sarcasm, goes on a massive rant.

And here, in a nutshell, is everyones concerns.

A man who thinks the closest GAA team (who play over the hills and far away from the Markets Field fwiw) are going to object to the JPDome.

Absolutely clueless. And I genuinely mean no offence there, how could you be expected to half a clue, you're not from Limerick, you're just idly speculating on an internet forum.

Like all the other idle speculators in here.

On the crowds next season, I'd be well pleased with a 900 average.

people object. someone with too much time on their hands will definitely object, i dont know where mf is, all i know of limerick is ul and jackman, but banking on a gaa club complaining is safe enough, they dont care for the loi in general and dont like to see any loi club make progress

but even if they dont, someone else will and even jp mcmanus cant stop that (nor should he be able to)

[Longfordian]

There's an architect in Longford who spends his time perusing planning applications all over the country and objecting to them. Speculation is rife as to whether he does it in the hope that someone will make it worth his while to go away or whether he just likes to prove he knows more about the planning laws than anyone else. On one infamous occasion a developer paid him to do the initial plans to try and ensure he couldn't object. He didn't object, but his wife did. To give him his due he's rarely completely defeated. A recent example is his objection to the rebuilding of the cathedral in Longford, a move that made him about as popular as Mr Burns when he blocked out the sun. Moral of the story, as said above, there's always one.

The GAA doesn't have a a totally stellar following in the city though, from my observation, most of the clubs in that area are pretty small fry compared to the clubs in the county. Na Piarsaigh got a lot of attention this year, but they're on the other side of the river.

In all of the Market's Field saga, the only objections put forth were from city Councillors who wanted community halls or something included in the plans.

If the GAA get into the Markets Field, you are finished. The dimensions of a GAA pitch will preclude any development in the Markets and over time they will push you and any other sport out. They tried the same guff with Rovers in Tallaght and objections were raised a few years ago when the RSC was refurbished and developed.
