LFC Gone?

[fitzknows]

Would estimate a turnover of 300 grand minus for an unambitious First division club.

The Companies Registration Office website has been down for the last few days (www.cro.ie), so I phoned them up. They told me that the last set of accounts submitted by JRM Sports (the company that currently owns Limerick FC) was for the year 2004 -- the year BEFORE it took over Limerick FC!
Checked out JRM's returns elsewhere and that seems to be case alright. Does anyone know what Limerick F.C. Grounds Development Trust Ltd. (established March 2006, directors: Patricia Rowe, Nicky Beare) is?

I can't imagine a First Division team would get by on much less than 200k.

Quick question that I hope isn't too simple.

How much does it cost to run a League team for a year?

Thx.

Depends on a lot of things. If your a dub club and your only travelling around the city the costs are much smaller then say a provincial club. If you wanna be in the league and just say finish last etc but you own your own ground etc etc about €200,000 per anam but if you want to challenge i see Galways figure was €600,000 for this year and rem that was part time.

Does no-one else think the short deadline, especially at this time of year, is an indication that the FAI already have some-one lined up?

Iirc, the FAI have always stated they want senior football in Limerick, they know about the discrepancy between such strong Junior sides and a shambles of a senior side, they might be using this as a great way to clear out the the deadwood and set up a proper team in Limerick.

Interesting Gilligan mentioned a return to the Markets Field, who owns it? (I knoe B na gC run it but who actually owns it?)

heard lester is gone with barrett,heffo+finucane goin this week

The important thing is to have a club structure ready for the new season and a decent application in place by January 2. The important factors now are those. If needs be you can field an almost all amateur team the first year or two just to get the club established and build from there. The EL needs some form of Limerick involvement, just like it needed a Cork one in the 1980's when finally Cork City FC emerged in 1984 after 2 years with no senior football in the city.

Going from what though? You can say stuff like all the players will be gone next week but who knows. Lester signed with Galway last week and one of the others, well....best of luck to him. I hope the players will hang around till end of Jan when something (hopefully) comes to fruition. Most of our SENIOR players are under contract and cant go anywhere at the moment. Their registrations are heald by the Eircom League and with the FAI saying that senior soccer will be there next season in Limerick then untill all of these stories are confirmed then i hope people dont continue this anti limerick/neg posts/limerick leader style on this board. c'mon the blues
