best of luck though, the league needs a limerick club.

Yes, all except one who will spend the rest of his life travelling the country going to every EL game he can. Sometimes two in the same night.

I don't see why not
There's talk of the defunct Limerick F.C. being a part of the new group and besides some of our older fans are well used to name changes by now :ball:

Wasn't Tom the Gom a Cork Hibs fan whose refusal to support any new Cork club after Hibs demise was the catalyst for the birth of a legend?
Thought maybe the lims might get their own version.

I remember the last time I was in the jacks, some nutter came in with his alsation dog and said that he was going to let it loose on us if we didnt keep the noise down. AT half time a few of us went across the road for a beer in some tiny little ****hole of a pub and stayed there watching spurs v man u. :D

One of the lads with me said on entering " Christ, are we playng in someones back garden" such was the size of the entrance between the 2 houses.
I believe A faces shows the better side of the ground :eek: On the other side is what? 50 foot wall of brick and nettles???:D

Indeed it did :eek:
You neglect to mention the lovely grassy slope though :p
A new entrance is on the agenda asap
The Jacks, like Rathbane has loads of potential. Unlike Rathbane though we will be in a position to draw down grants owed by the FAI so hopefully development work can start asap
Until then Yes it is a $hithole of almost Dundalk town proportions. But she's our $hithole and I wouldn't swap her for anywhere else in the world :D
I agree, it has huge potential once the cash can be got from the FAI to start. The fact that its only 2 minutes from the bus/train station is great too.
Things cant get any worse now so onwards and upwards.

You know, you think that, but then you find yourself standing up in Pike :D
Nah, hopefully it genuinely is onwards and upwards from now on, you all NEED a strong Limerick team in the league :p
(Yes I know you've been getting on fine for the last fifteen or so years so no need for anyone to point that out :o )

Good luck to Limerick! I can't access the photo of their ground - what am i doing wrong? Or are there any other links to pics? Surely the composition of the First Division for the new season will be confirmed soon.

Dont care where it is, this season the Lims lads will have to show me the true Limerick, all have seen is The Steering Wheel and Clohasseys (sp?)

Been avoiding this saga for a while now but can someone clarify something for me? Are Wexford Youths and Soccer Limerick in direct competition for a licence or will both be accommodated, should they be granted a licence?
Schumi
12/01/2007, 12:11 PM
My impresion from the FAI announcements is that there will be one Limerick team and one other team added to the first division next year so both could get a licence. If other teams have applied for either place, they'd be in the running too presumably.

SOCCER LIMERICK CONSIDER NAMES
---------------------
Soccer Limerick, who are making a
formal application to the FAI for a
First Division licence, may play out of
Jackman Park which is the headquarters
of junior soccer in the Treaty City, it
has emerged.
Ger Finnin, who is acting as a
spokesman for the group, confirmed that
they will be forwarding an application
for a licence to Merrion Square.
Limerick City, Limerick United, or just
plain Limerick are some of the names
that will be up for discussion should
the Shannonsiders' bid be successful.

The last time i lived in limerick they played in jackman, I always wondered why they didnt tie in with UL, Not in a UCD way but in a Limerick FC based in castletroy way, using the universitys facilities. Soccer Limerick sounds like a grest idea but they should look to tap into the UL student pool as well as the other aspects. anythings got to be better than jackman (never made it to pike rovers ground tho)

the crucial factor in deciding on the ground is its potential expansion space...
Does Jackman Park have room to expand???
Partizan
12/01/2007, 3:03 PM
Limerick United FC would be a more appropriate name given the incorporation and cooperation of the underage, women's and junior soccer entities in Limerick city. However if the present Limerick entity, namely Limerick FC (1937) dissolve, then the new entity will start off from scratch and cannot claim any continuity with Limerick FC (1937).
Thats my reading of it anyway. I hope it goes ahead, however we coudl be seeing a few potential Tom the Goms down Shanonnside.

There is room to expand at 3 sides of the ground, except where the current 'stand' is now in situ. The residents would likely complain about the blocking of sunlight and the effect that this would entail on the washing and drying of their clothes but you got to hand it to the Limerick folks, at least they have the gumption to wash their dirty linen in public.

That is very poor Jerry.
It would be 'Limerick Gun Toting Lunatics' or some such at this stage, the carefree days of mere knife wielding nutters are now but a pleasant memory.

Agree about the name, but not about the history. Limerick FC were once Limerick Utd, Limerick City etc. The current club is nothing but a name as it has no ground and no base. So what's another name change and back to Jackman Park? It's the same club to me, just being put in somebody else's hands. I bet you the a lot of the same officials/players will be part of the 'new' club.....

We're saving this name for our supporters club. And we're going to kick the s**t out of anyone that comes in our way :D
