Half price entry to those going to Celtic game. What about the rest of us going to MF all season, and even before that.
I don't think they have said half price anywhere tbf but I do hope they will do something for the Limerick fans that were there all along and not bothering with this Celtic thing to support Limerick. No point getting upset about it until details are out if they do something for those people as well as people with tickets to Thomond then its great for all.
Having re read the article your correct, their will be some form of reduction for those going to thomand Park. Hope the rest of us get as much recognition.
It will be very frustrating if it is just the day trippers that get a discount. I mean its obvious what the club are thinking that they will make extra cash if some of the people going to Celtic can be enticed to go and that others were going to go anyway so don't need an incentive but it just doesn't look good imo when so many people were making a big push for people to head to Markets Field instead of Thomond.
Was told earlier the Saturday of Cabo game is actually the first day of English Premier League too so now we are going up against that at 2 o clock on Saturday surely Friday was the better choice with that in mind.
To be honest I would have hoped the club would have stuck to the original kick off time.
I reckon most regulars would have gone anyway.
We might pick up a few that were going to the Celtic game but also we might lose a lot that can't make 2pm on a Saturday due to work and other commitments. It could end up being of no benefit and cost the club with the reduced prices.
Going up against the opening fixtures of premiership makes no sense anyway it would be a disaster if there was a smaller crowd than usual for us winning the league after we backed down and moved.
Ya i agree. Look I can see why the club would want to move it but I just feel we should have stuck to our usual time and said feck the rest.Originally Posted by bluewhitearmy
It should have been the Friday night the Saturday at 2pm makes no sense at all can't see the benefit of it , as for tonight's game poor poor stuff, for such a fine setup that athlone have the place is like a morgue no atmosphere whatsoever people protesting outside the ground aswell , got the job done and the win but awful to watch pitch didn't help I suppose
Good to hear live 95 mentioning the fans not happy with the 2 pm kick off. I'm devastated that I won't make it. Typical.
What did we learn in Athlone:
1. Lee Lynch needs to be brought in off the wing. Assist of the year aside he's a waste of time out there.
2. It is possible to nod off for a minute during a league of ireland game.
3. Half interested Robbie Williams is classier than the rest of the division to an almost embarrassing degree.
4. We badly need shelbourne to bring a bit of tempo to the markets field next Friday so we can give Derry a game Monday.
5. Aaron Greene needs to be out wide when he's not the main makeshift striker. No space for him in the middle he spent the first hour last night with the athlone 6 literally up his arse.
6. Freddie Hall needs to stop **** acting. I totally understand the concept of pushing the back four up and the keeper sweeping but he's taking the ****.
7. Once the league is wrapped up we are going to be HARD to watch for the last seven or eight games.
8. Duggan badly needs the game against shels to be ready for Derry Monday. He was dirt, obviously very rusty in fairness we know he's quality.
9. Paul O'Conor has recently been moving the ball so slowly I can see the earths crust shifting under him.
10. Tony Whitehead moves the ball slower than four Paul O'Conors trapped in jam.
There, who would have thought you could get ten discussion points out of that last night?!
As for the Cabo festival of farce I just hope ucd gain enough points or we lose enough points to push the title race out another week.
The whole thing is so TYPICAL LIMERICK.

Sorry LTID, point 8? Who is Duffy? I missed that memo.
He's what my spellcheck thinks Shane Duggan is! :/
Looking at the fixtures, is the away game against Drogheda the league decider? My maths aren't the best. 😁
....Oh sweet whatever..only one answer to all that ..yawn.
Much better lastnight than recent weeks and one of the points LTID made was put to bed anyway Duggy was fantastic completely ran the show so great to see he is after knocking some of the rust off. Thought it was Tracys best game all season too. Great to see John O Flynn come back with Derry on the way. Please god now Martin does nothing mental and just brings Shaun Kelly back in at right back and moves Paul O Conor back in to the middle for Derry.
Ya for Derry you'd be hoping we go with:
Freddy
Kelly
Paudie
Robbie
Tracey
Paul O Connor
Duggy
Lynch
Kenny
Greene
O'Flynn
Would have no problem with Mulhall there either, thought he was excellent the other night and deserved his goal for his hard work. Aaron Greene is completely wasted in the 10 position. Leave him on the left wing. If we don't make any silly errors we should give Derry a good go. There is a lot of quality in our starting 11.
Surely it has to be that team with only Mulhall possibly starting in place of O'Flynn the only change you could make. I thought Russell did well v Shels but if he was to start it throws other things off cos if he starts in the middle then Lee J has to play deep and is wasted if he plays out wide left then Greene has to come in to middle and Lee J drops deep and both are wasted. Russell can be very good on the ball but strong physical games just don't suit him and I expect thats what Derry will be. I think with the proper full strength midfield 3 we could see the best game of the year from Paul O Conor cos he sits and protects the back 4 well but doesn't have anyone to do that against really in the league he will up here.
With the O Flynn Mulhall thing I wonder would it be better to start O'Flynn try and get ahead and then work to keep it or start with Mulhall and set the tone with him working so hard and being a great physical presence and then unleash JOF from the bench when they tire. Can make a case for either tbh.
Seriously great achievement, getting to the final.
We've played 3 premier teams this season, goals for 8 goals against 0.
