It's all about the money!

Just ask John D

Where did you get 5000+ allegedly? It was mentioned that it might be 5,000 but was then confirmed as 4,300. Yesterday it was said less than 100 tickets left for sale. The club tried to get the capacity up as high as possible and that's what they got it pushed to.

New turnstiles installed at the away end also.

People have been told as it stands to not arrive to the Markets Field without a ticket already purchased.

You actually think they're going to turn people away? Are you saying, they'll actually have learned a lesson from the playoff?

Well I have been working in the ground all week and at the event meetings and yes they have learned and it will be nothing like the way it was at Harps.

It's an FAI gig, I saw a picture of the ground the other day, it's like a barrier convention.

Because the melons that "built" it ensured it wasn't capable of hosting big games.

If First Division Champions League Cup Finalists 2016 Limerick FC were getting the gate you can be guaranteed there would be tenners accepted by the fist load.

No Irish club should turn anyone away until it's physically impossible to fit more in. Playoff was a great night off the pitch for the club with a hell of a lot more than 4330 at it.

Big difference between the play off and cup game time wise. The Playoff turnaround between the last match of the season and the game against Harps was only a few days where as the time to organise this has been over a month. The crowd that came for the playoff was completely unexpected and it was hard to turn people away when the time to buy tickets was short.

Have to say I'm pretty disappointed you didn't get league cup winners elect in there ahead of finalists

First Division Champions League Cup Finalists 2016 Limerick FC don't win big home games unfortunately.

And how do you determine when this happens? After the first person collapses or do you wait to see if that was a one off or not?

When the Gardai say "that's enough now folks..."

When you have to start letting the children sit down on the grass around the pitch it means you've only another fifteen minutes of cash stiles.

Obviously.

Great crowd but you can still tell that if the ground had a bit more work done you could add a few thousand to that. There's loads of potential for MF to be one of the best LOI grounds in the country.
