Congratulations to all involved. Finally, some real action by large number of people over a decent period of time - this is a fine result. Great to see senior football continue in the city.

This has worked out quite well actually.

Good bit of political manoeuvring by the Limerick soccer community and the FAI.

Could you imagine the number of fixtures if that did happen.

Keep it to a 10 or 12 team Premier

Can we assume that all football people in Limerick will now get on board with this new entity, ie those who supported Limerick Utd (70`s) City (80`s) and FC (90`s) is there a split anywhere in the city, geographical or otherwise.

Would be shame for eg if those who were in with Danny Drew & Co wouldn`t now support 37.

Where is the home ground ?

Anyway hope it works out for them, welcome to the lge .

I for one a long with most of Limerick FC supporters will support Limerick 37. I hope we can generate some new support this season as well.

Jackman Park. That's the ground beside the train station.

Wow, I got a good wish off a Galway fan! I'd like to extend the good luck back in that direction, but really I think you'd be more disappointed than anything if I did gufct :)

Well done to all the lads involved in getting 37 into the Eircom League

Financially we are less reliant on one individual - but LFC had no debt we were told but now there is a winding up order from Revenue. We don't really know how the finances will work out - we have been given assurances that thsi will be okay but no clubs really give out that detail to fans.

In terms of facilities the ground has changed. We will be playing in Jackman Park - which is not really that better but it is better located and there is less chance of stones being thrown over the wall at visiting fans. It is not up to premier standard but at least there is scope to develop something which was not possible with Hogan Park without the club having a lease.

Support wise I see no difference. There is no 'Continuity LFC' group - but rather fans of senior soccer in the city who will support the senior team. It might have been different with two Limerick clubs but that is very unlikely to ever happen.
