Stadium Updates (All Clubs)

[Acornvilla]

I'm beginning to think Limerick are actually cursed..

[Dodge]

Yeah, must be. We haven't done this the 2 previous times we've qualified for Europe...oh wait.

What price are they this year? €25 again?

EDIT; found it there. €25 again

[Dave_SRFC]

I hope Sligo can find a way out of this mess...

[sligoman]

What price are they this year? €25 again?

EDIT; found it there. €25 againYep. Both games sold out previously.

[Schumi]

What next? Refuse to allow Jedward concerts

Gets my vote!

[oldfan]

You were desperate then aswell lol

Maybe the Council will give the Bit o' Red a free Stadium:p

Oh it's our stadium now is it?

[marinobohs]

Actually, just to clarify, in 2009 these five puddings garnered just over 4500 votes between them.

Considering Limerick FC playing out of the Markets Field would be looking at a catchment area of 300,000 it gives you a tiny insight into the tiny minds of these muppets.

Personally after this I'd love if the club had the money to take us out by the Crescent Shopping or somewhere else populated and not within the city boundary, leave the ****ers to it and leave the Markets Field and Garryowen and the rest of the disaster they've created for themselves in our increasingly miserable excuse for a city to fall down around their incompetent arses.

You try to do the right thing, you get involved in the community, you do your prison projects, you do your school visits, you do your late night football schools, you sponsor your clubs from disadvantaged areas, you do your free camps in disadvantaged areas, you propose to put millions into an area right on the edge of the city centre that has been left to rot for 25 years and for what?? For the worthless parasites in city hall to stick out their fat hands again looking for more and more and more for nothing.

SCUM.








For the record I voted for the ould RSF guy. :)


class post LTID and the sanctimonious drivel about "peoples needs" from these leeches after decades lining their own pockets, sickening.

Hope these vultures bugger off and allow plans for Markets Field to proceed but unfortunately they can really clog up the planning stage.

The local clowncillors getting in on the act. Demanding they be involved and that Limerick FC build a community centre in the area or they wil make life difficult for Limeirck FC. I get the feeling the planning may really drag out.

That's remarkable.

I know not on the same scale, but in Dún Laoghaire recently there was uproar amongst the councillors when they weren't consulted on Dulux painting the Baths (which have lain in ruin and are rotting since the late 90's).

I have no time for any Councillor in this State, especially the ones I work with in DLR. A shower of gombeens.

I think JP should just wag his finger and tell them where to go.

Wait til the City and County are combined...

[Lim till i die]

Wait til the City and County are combined...

In theory it should revive the cities fortunes..... In theory

"In theory Communism works Marge.... In theory"

[BonnieShels]

I think that's what I was getting at.

Man that's gonna be a barrel of laughs.

[northwestexile]

Are there any picture up-dates of the work going on at the Showgrounds?

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

[Dunny]

When is it expected to be completed and how many will it hold?

[redobit]

Will be ready for Europe game Dunny and will hold 1,401.

[Dave_SRFC]

Will be ready for Europe game Dunny and will hold 1,401.

Thats really quick fair play...

[BohsFans]

Do Sligo own the land all the way back to the railway line?

[Rover'n'out]

Do Sligo own the land all the way back to the railway line?

Yes pretty much.

[NeverFeltBetter]

Would guess somewhere between 200-250 at Bray/Limerick tonight, but I'm not the best judge. Tickets for a LC game too expensive at 15e imo.

Thats what happens for split gate. For bray to lower them they'd need agreement of league and Limerick.

[hoops1]

Will be ready for Europe game Dunny and will hold 1,401.

Looking at the pic I would say it only holds 1,399 maybe 1,400 max.

[pesky]

How much did it cost and how was it financed ?.

[A face]

Any more pics of Showgies new stand?

I'm glad to see the head seat trier-outer is flat out there. Is he a Lims fan though?

[redobit]

Thats it finished so

A Longford Town fan having a go about paying for seating. :rolleyes:

[shellyriver]

Credit union loan.

No hard hats on any of them.
The lintel underneath that beam is undersized.

Nope its grand. First of there is probably at least two 100mm lintels if they have used 215 blocks. And by the photo it could be 300mm blocks and so there could be 3 lintels. Looks to be precast lintels so it would have re-bars in it too and would actually be stronger than the blockork. Second the load any lintel supports ia actually a lot less than you might expect, 45 deg from each edge.

Hmmm.
Id like to get a proper look at it. Have they allowed an adequate factor of safety given some of the fat ***** I see at the railway end most match nights?

[fieldofmarkets]

Is it set back from the pitch a bit or are there a couple more rows to go in the front?

[redobit]

Never considered the fat factor dong ;)

fom. It is set back from the pitch. Have heard that the pitch will be lenthened in that direction in the future

There are plans to extend the playing surface after the Europa game.

[fieldofmarkets]

Cheers. More space for sligo's good football....good to see

[nigel-harps1954]

So is it finished?

[redobit]

Well you'd think by now ye would have. Ye started work on it in 2008 ffs.

[MeathDrog]

Touchy..

Clever cloggs with his clever wrong information.

[redobit]

Touchy..

Na just a it of banter. In fairness a fan who's club plays in a galvanised half rusted shoebox that has a bar with no licence shouldnt really be weighing in. hahaha

[red bellied]

What year was it then? I bet yeah he was 12 months either way and dont come on here bragging that the digger got stuck in the mud in the again up there.

I think it was when Harps fans were going to games in showgies where they outpopulated the whole town.
Like the golden horde it was.

[nigel-harps1954]

It was a genuine question though so I don't see why you're getting all defensive.

The founds were put into Harps stadium this year. The digging work started last year if you must know. The steel work to be put in the coming months.

As I said nigel just a bit of banter. Glad to hear you're making progress with your ground. Id prefer to be going to Stranorlar than the Pale anyday.

To answer your question. Id say if they put a push on it this week it could be ready for the game on saturday, but if not it wont be too long after.

Haha. That's funny. The old "you can't talk, look at who you support" argument. Care to have a dig at any other LOI club's facilities? You'd have a fairly long list of complaints. You'd swear the Showgies was a fortress.

Sure a load of red paint covered over the old blue sheds endless amount of rusting steel in the showgies.
