Can Limerick extend their 8 game unbeaten run for this year? (no-one even thought of this :cool:)

Big interest in this one has seen half the stand already booked up so get in early boys and girls. :ball:

[bluewhitearmy]

We better still have our spot up top left :mad:

[Jofspring]

Sorry, reserved for the corporates and sponsors.

[bluewhitearmy]

Our exact spot?

[Monkfish]

Sorry, reserved for the corporates and sponsors.

How do you know our spot is the ones taken up? we know the score with the stand this year but were told it would be sectioned off (in loose terms)

[bluewhitearmy]

As long as we have our little corner im happy taking that away from us would be a joke.

[Jofspring]

Was only joking. I wouldn't have a clue what way the stand would be taken up. I don't go into it mysellf anyway. Would be silly if the club sectioned off a spot for corporates.

1-1 or with a bit of luck thrown in maybe a 2-1 win for us.

I think they are doing that but as long as its not our corner they cando what they want :):)

I'm sure they won't. Its pretty clear where the regulars go in the stand so to make them move would be a silly mistake.

[bluewhitearmy]

Anyway back on topic i reckon 1 all but hope we can sneak a win.

[LFC-Zulu]

I'm getting in before Castletroy Blue on this one, 11-8 to Limerick. :eek:

Damn you Zulu!! :(

Suppose I will be sensible this week and go for 0-0 :)

[Ciarán R]

looking forward to this one already!

[MariborKev]

Lads,

How long would it take me from central Dublin to the ground of a Friday evening driving?

[Jofspring]

Lads,

How long would it take me from central Dublin to the ground of a Friday evening driving?

You would want to probably leave Dublin around 4 at the latest and you should make it just in time. If you where in around Limerick at 7ish there should be no problem traffic wise, even on a friday.

[MariborKev]

Yeah, should be leaving IFSC 3.30ish.....

[gael353]

Yeah, should be leaving IFSC 3.30ish.....

showing off that u have a job eh? ;) park in one of the many city streets no need to park too close to the ground as everything is only 5 mins away. tickets on ticketmaster and at the gate

[harpin]

Aertel has kick off at 8.....I presume its a mistake and its 7.45 as per usual

[gael353]

yep our usual time of 7:45 but arrive early. media seem to be gone a bit queer about us of late. Shocking article in the Star last sat, followed by roddy mouthing off about us in the star sunday, and emmet molone in the times using our club and individaul persons problems as a stick to beat the FAI with.

Sad little men and one fat one :p

What was Roddy saying im sure the club would take any advice the genius has to offer.:o

Naw, just pointing out where in Dublin I was leaving from.....

[gspain]

Yeah, should be leaving IFSC 3.30ish.....

You need to leave by 3.30pm. 3pm would be more comfortable. I have missed a kickoff in Limerick on a couple of occasions leaving Dublin at 4pm.

Limerick itself isn't really the problem. Getting out of Dublin takes time and the Naas Road is always slow. You can also have a tailback into Mountrath. It is very hard to make
time after Portlaoise and there are long stretchs where overtaking is tough.

As for the football 1-0 to Limerick.

[Edgey]

Is the train out of the question for you, Maribor? You could leave the IFSC at 4.20, get the 5pm train and still have time for a bag of chips before kick-off. Ground is right next to the station.

How many do you reckon will be at this game gael?

[gael353]

How many do you reckon will be at this game gael?

id hope for the 1000 but as we didnt win last week id expect that to drop to about 7/800. If we had won it would have been well over the 1000

Does the official attendance get announced at the games? if so at what stage of the game?

Just curious as to what the attendances are gonna be this season and how we can atually find out the official numbers, as it doesnt state it in the paper, aertel or website ....................

[MariborKev]

Naw, train isn't out of the question but would prefer to be back in Dublin the same night.

Gspain, yeah had anticipated getting out of Dublin as being the major issue. Been working in Portlaiose for the last fortnight which would have been sweet, but back in Dublin now. Supposed to be doing internet commentary so sorta want to be there as early as possible, but work dictates I can't get away before half three.

Was done about 4 or 5 years ago. Great to see it being done again. Hopefully a good few people will make their way in.

[Football Alien]

Sorry pal i was told was only room for that crowd doing it for us.

[Candystripe]

It's been a while since I was in Jackman pk.Is their an away section for fans?

Kev, Matt B has a twin room booked in jurys if you're looking to stay.

Believe it or not but I'm driving the 89'rs bus!

Dreading it!

They don't really segregate the fans unless they are expecting a big away crowd, so there is no real section for the away fans. Usually away fans either go over to the opposite side of the ground behind the dugouts or behind either one of the goals. If its a case of keeping the home and away fans apart they will keep one turnstile for yerselves.

[MariborKev]

Mind the last time we were there?

[LK37oldskool]

Mind the last time we were there?

would that be a League Cup Final ?

[MariborKev]

Yeah, it was.

Best bet for parking lads?

[gael353]

Yeah, it was.

Best bet for parking lads?

not near the ground. beside the park, or any of the streets going twords the city would be a safer bet

[Jofspring]

not near the ground. beside the park, or any of the streets going twords the city would be a safer bet

or the train station if your willing to pay 4euro, not guaranteed to be any safer than parking around the park or any streets near the park though. I park around the ground myself and the car has never been broke into (just jinxed myself). Busier streets in town are always going to be safer though.

[Jofspring]

Kevin Deery and Stephen Parkhouse are out for Derry. Good news from a Limerick perspective.

anytime I have parked near jackman park I have never really any bother. when I see team buses parking across the road I always assume its safe to park there..

[western gale]

Limerick 0 Derry 1 (latest) McDaid for the candystripes

[pile driver]

finished 1 0 to derry had yellow sent off after 35 min harsh but still could of scored 3 or 4 goals derry looked very poor limerick the better team with 10 men have to get a striker signed quick or season will be over soon
