on monday due to loss of major revenue from planned Thomond Park freindly (Real Madrid).......
This according to Emmett Malone, Irish Times.
The same week Real Madrid break the transfer world record one of Ireland's most famous clubs will go out of business for the some of what an average player like Gareth Barry will make in a month at a mid-table EPL club like Man City. Pleasure/pain in infect. Funny old game?

Shame to happen to any club though.
And on a personal level, it would be absolutely ****ing typical of pats to be knocked out of the FAI Cup to a team taht couldn't play in the next round...
if Limerick go (and I hope they don't), I'll always have a soft spot for them for stopping Shels' promotion last year
Well thats a load of crap for a start, club never had any plans involving Real Madrid. People who run Thomond park were trying to arrange some sort of friendly (nothing to do with Limerick FC)Quote:

They'll go out of business and come back under a differnet name, as they have done before. No panic.
Continuity Limerick, anyone?
Or to rip off a well known joke,how about their new name being "i cant believe its not Lmierick"??:p
Desperately sad news if it's true. Even if the club do reform under a different name, they'll still have to start off in the A Championship, and I can't see the already apathetic Limerick football public turning out in any sort of numbers for that.
I hope they manage to pull themselvess through.
Typo:Limerick.
I mean't Limerick clubs (more or less the same club under different names) in general down thru the years.Quote:

My mistake. Anyway its always sad to a club on the brink.
What about the American lad who is Chairman? Surely he has something in the kitty to save them
He's been hit pretty hard by the falling US economy apparently... and has been looking for a buyer for a long time now.Quote:

Limerick didn't go bust and then change to Limerick 37. It couldn't get an FAI license - some would say out of FAI concern/malice re a key player in the club at the time - so the players effectively shunted off to a new '37' entity and got the license that way. Then when the dust settled, the '37' bit got dropped.Quote:

In fairness, I think Cork are still the new Cork in terms in footballing instability.Quote:

Sounds like there's deeper problems at Limerick that a glamour friendly won't solve. I hope they can hang in there.
I think Limerick are doing more than a passing impression of Limerick too.Quote:

Can't see any reference to it in the Irish Times, where the story is supposed to have originated.
Buckets out tonight?
