we really shouldnt be putting anything of ours in that rag ;) 442 has gone crap of late but with us in it their sales should rocket

[Sheridan]

It's actually a really good edition with some interesting features this month, if you skip the Celtic bit.

The L37 article is a bit suss, admiteddly. Ger Finnin is quoted thus; "We want to tell people who follow top British clubs to keep supporting them, but follow Limerick 37 as well. Make us your second team", pleads Finnin. "Let's design a scarf that says Manchester United on one side and Limerick 37 on the other, so they can feel part of both clubs."

At first this seems a bit annoying but on second thoughts why not. There is hardly a supporter at Limerick games (or any eL games) that doesn't support a British team. And if they're willing to look that silly why not sell them a scarf with both clubs on it. Give the consumers what they want and all that. :ball:

The only thing is will a Celtic fan buy a scarf that is blue on one side? :)

I remember going to Anfield on a school tour (lost 1-0 to Villa btw) and someone wanted a Liverpool/Celtic scarf (cause of the great links they have!!!!) when we got there, surprise surprise half the clubs in Europe where represented on these types of scarfs BUT according to the guy selling them they are big sellers, the ones with Celtic/Liverpool and RANGERS/Liverpool are the most popular according to the bin dipper who unsuccesfully tried to distract up while his mates took 5 mins to realise there was no hub-caps on our bus! anyway............................if its brings in extra cash lash em out! il have a Limerick/Lazio one please Mr Finnin!

[LFC in Exile]

il have a Limerick/Lazio one please Mr Finnin!

So LTID is not the only ultra right-wing supporter then. Better get the Israeli flag up next to the Palestinian one fairly sharpish. :)

LTID right wing???? guess who owns the offending article (palestinian flag)? he went up to the Shels game with a red t-shirt with CCCP across it!! he only took it off cause he was reminded what colour Shels play in, there is hope in the fact that its probably only a studenty phase hes going through.

[sadloserkid]

Good coverage for the club. Would be a little embarrassed by joint L37/Manure/Chelski/other club scarves personally but look forward to reading the article anyway.

[LFC in Exile]

How embarrassing!

Thanks for your comment. When we can sell a ground for a few million euros and can turn our noses up at any opportunity to earn a few bob we'll adopt a superior attitude too. :rolleyes:

[declan hide]

How embarrassing!

futhermore your club is on ticketmaster selling a double ticket to two english clubs....wolves and sunderland...why didnt they include an eircom league match in that package?

we wont even talk about how bohs are badly underachieving yet again this season. ;)

I don't see what the problem is in playing a couple of friendlies.

"...why didnt they include an eircom league match in that package?"

its this part you should be looking at bosco.

[Old keeper]

Hi

The reason we have been contacting all and every media outlet is to raise the profile of the club. I agree that there are some who would like to have supporters ONLY support an FAI EL club, but lets be realistic here, the seasons overlap and while there can be no debate on the level of support for cross channel teams, we must try to attract these young fans back. One way is to incorporate their existing clubs into the support for Limerick 37. I am sure that if we can get a few fans who watch teams only on TV to come to a Limerick 37 home game we will keep them coming as there is no comparison between watching a game surrounded by the passion of home supporters and the sterile experience of a TV. So we pass no apology for using every and any means to attract the supporters who are currently looking east for their football fix.

[LFC in Exile]

I agree that there are some who would like to have supporters ONLY support an FAI EL club, but lets be realistic here.

See, there's your first mistake there, trying to use common sense with a Bohs fan. ;)

As for how many clubs I've supported - current count I'd say is 4 (Limerick United, Limerick City, Limerick FC and Limerick 37). Or in other words I support senior football in my city. Explain to me- what's your problem - football fans supporting foreign teams or football fans supporting their home town eL team? :ball:

L37 advocating that they should be your second team behind ___<insert Brit team here>. That's embarrassing!

I reckon I have better grasp of common sense than most around Limerick who just switch teams at the drop of a hat.

I know a LFC fan who's now actually started supporting Bohs.:)

Couldn't agree more

At a Strrrrrrreeeetttttttttcccccccchhhhhhhh I would put up with L37/Real Madrid, L37/Southampton, L37/Torino etc scrafs but random successful British clubs.............

L37 first and foremost, Brit team second if that's your thing


At least I stick by my club!

What a stoopid comment

Also before you come on here giving out to the Anglophiles (I happen to agree with you btw) you might want to look at the apes aping casual culture at your own club :rolleyes:

[jebus]

Well done to all concerned with getting us into 4-4-2 first and foremost, good PR coup for the club.

As for the split scarves idea, well I wouldn't buy one, but I think the idea could be useful in getting (say) Limerick based Man Utd fans to take an interest in the club. We can tell them United first, Limerick second to get them through the gates, give them time and naturally they will start supporting Limerick 37 as their first club, its what happened to me anyway

I don't get your logic. That's of course assuming tehre is logic there.

You are criticsing supporters of eL clubs for supporting the only eL club in their city. Are you suggesting that when Limerick United was formed none of the existing fans should have supported them, and when Limerick City took over none of the United fans should have supported them? When City folded none of the fans should have supported Limerick FC and when FC folded none should support L37? Do you realise how many fans L37 would have following this logic?

We don't drop clubs at the drop of a hat - we support our eL team. The names must change because it isn't hats that drop its the clubs themselves.

Oldkeeper - i wasn't addressing my comment at you but the smug Bohs fan who thinks he knows enough to comment but just really is displaying his ignorance.

LTID - I don't see this as embarrassing at all. How many supporters of British clubs are there in Limerick. Many of them spend a lot of money going to the UK every week to support 'their' team. If a fraction of them purchased two-sided scarves to wear on their travels (many probably wouldn't even go to the Jacks - they'd use them to look good in OT or Anfield or the Emirates) we'd make a lot of money. If we sold 500 of them say, at €12 a pop - that's €6,000. At a 50% mark-up thats €2,000. I cannot see how you can argue with that. And why try to annoy barstoolers into the ground when you can just flog them a few scarves and get their money. QED.

[joeSoap]

Roll your eyes all you want, you still look thick.

All the purists out there with the cheap digs at L37 can you explain:

A. The exact circumstances behind the demise of LFC

B. What you would have done different

Otherwise I suggest shutting your mouth would be the thing to do

[jebus]

Jesus Christ poindexter, what In Exile is getting at is that we have been supporting the only senior football team in Limerick. It can come under different names, it can be under new owners, but the fans remain the same. Limerick 37 is what took the place of Limerick FC in the Eircom League, Limerick FC having died a death due to its owner, a lot of players from LFC came over to L37, due to wanting to remain in senior football, as well as remaining in Limerick. The fans came over because this (L37) is now our senior club, similar players to what we have had, similar fans what we have had, and a similiar ground to what we used to have. Are you seriously saying that the fact that we now have a better background set-up should drive us away from the club?

I'll put it to you in Dublin terms. Had the Rovers fan trust not been able to acquire the name, Shamrock Rovers FC, when they bought the club, and instead had had to call themselves (say) Rovers 1901, do you not think that they should still reference Shamrock Rovers historically? Or due you think that they should have not bothered trying to change things for the better and instead let that shower that was running their club run it straight into the ground?

You see for us its supporting the same club, no matter what guise it comes in

[joeSoap]

The only possible way for people from Limerick not to support L37 would be if another club was set up in the city and got entry to the EL.

What fun that would be........

That wa sthe worry when Danny was threatening to take the EL to court to allow LFC into the league as well as L37, imagine if LFC were in place instead of Wexford Youths? We could have had Monkfish's Israeli flag flying over Jackman and LtiD's Palestine flag over Hogan Park. It would have been war I tell you!:D

question....

4-4-2 the magazine or the fanzine?

[Voice of Reason]

We all know it's not so strange for Irish soccer fans to follow a UK team too.

It even happens in the UK. I knew someone from Wrexham who also supported Everton.

It made sense to me!

I fail to see the relevance of either and yes I did know the LFC situation.

None of the points you've put forward have made the comments by your spokesman any less embarrassing!

This ex-LFC 'fan' wouldn't have had wiry black hair, dress like an itinerant and act like Daft Dave would he?:rolleyes:

There is no reason or logic as to why any person would not support Limerick 37 if they come from Limerick. As I said earlier, if there was an alternative side to support in the city then I could understand it, but there isn't so thats purely hypothetical.

I seem to remember reading on Bohs forums last year that elements of ye're 'die-hard Cabra support base' were talking about not supporting Bohs if they moved 3 miles up the road to Diswellstown. How embarrassing is that?

Speaking of embarrassments....Roddy Collins??

If there was only one club in each county, then you would support Dublin would you not? As the point has been made several times to you, we support Senior Soccer in the city, whoever it may be and whatever guise it may take. Throw stones all you want, sneer all you like. We're proud of our city and our club.

And when ye become a 'big' club like Rovers, or like Shels were and Pats are about to be, then come back and sneer some more.

Until then, p1ss off.:ball:

Hi BohsFans

I am sure that there are any number of people who would like to support only one club, there is however a difficulty in this as for decades the EL was poorly run and did not invest in player development. The players and supporters of EL clubs were seen as a poor relation to the more glam clubs across the water and in mainland Europe. I am a realist and as such can see on a daily basis the level of support that exists for English teams here in Ireland, the EL clubs are faced with a number of decisions in relation to expanding their current support base


Source new supporters who have never supported soccer before
Ask supporters of English clubs to switch allegiance
Encourage supporters of English clubs to also support their home EL side
Do nothing to increase support


It’s a no brainer to me but I respect your views on the matter.

By the way if we do manage to convert even 10 supporters of English clubs to Limerick 37 FC that will be the tip of the iceberg as that 10 will spread the word of Limerick 3:7 and multiply

See I can spout embarrassing stuff on tap!!! But it’s all in a good cause.

thanks for the mature reply, but asking people who support their English clubs to come along every second week to an el game is next to impossible.
Those people are finished/tarnished, will never change their ways. The only way is getting the young generation at the moment in and reaping the rewards later on. Anyway, we're never gonna agree when you have fools like 'joeSoap' on here!
