The problems of the club were discussed and seems unless there is drastic change in the future we may not have a senior club in Limerick and that would be very sad indeed.
The plans for Markets Field were really impressive but for some reason I just cant see it happening even though I would love to see it happening. Anyway, well done to everyone involved last night, was interestin to get a different perspective on the club.
Really enjoyed last night till we got the low down on the financial reality we're in. Its really in the hands of the Limerick council.I would ask you all to interrogate any politican that knocks on your door over the next week about his views on the Markets Field project.If he's for it we should put up a thread here and name him and also name those that are unsure or not know what your talkin about. Votes are all their about and maybe we could vote as a block(those that are eligible!) for the ones that are most positive for the club.
Just an idea.

Me and the lads were wondering...especially with the likes of those nice Toireasa Ferris posters out in Castletroy at the moment :D
seein as we live in a banana republic and all our politicans are corrupt or incompetant i think voting on looks is a logical approach to the elections.Cant elect any worse than those already there! :D
though do keep in mind my original idea on who'll help the club most.
Of course not, and if she can provide a service to get your vote all the better.Quote:

Id however like to stress at this point that its not a Sinn Fein member or The Right Honourable Mayor Of Limerick John Gilligan
That's good.
So it's a toss up between Toireasa Ferris, Elena Secas, and Mary Jackman then.
:D
Cllr Kieran O'Hanlon is already involved in the Limerick for Markets Field campaign.Quote:

Any chance you'd make a late entry into the political arena inmoscow? you'd get my vote.

in fact shes perfect
But does she know the history of the Markets Field? Priorities gael! :rolleyes:
Tell me if this is a stupid suggestion, but why not play out at the Bowl in UL (where the running track is?)
They have a few entry gates into the area, where stewards could stop and charge the admission prices, and the pitch is nice too. Surely UL wouldn't charge too much in rent?
