Fr.Joe should be asked to attend this meeting it might make him realise to get the finger out....

Just a couple of ideas, maybe will help put some direction on all the real supporters good intentions.
1) Have our meeting prior to last game of season, this gives some time to generate the media interest, also gives a landmark date - ie could be last ever game...
2) The FAI now have a Volunteer Education Unit. We could invite the Unit Manager, Liam McGroarty, down and he can arrange the experts we need to guide us on the best way to organise a SC, and what an active SC can actually do for the club.
3) Involving the FAI at that level will also force questions to be answered by them regarding Lease, might clear that up from their end.
4) I agree that fielding amatuers and losing is better than not existing at all, but for this to work, ground issue needs to be sorted - see point 3.
5) Future under-age involvement. Limerick FC gets active in Coach Education in Limerick,co-ordinating with RDO Denis Hynes, and FAI Education Manager, Paul Hammil, and gets the coaches to train with U13 Kennedy Cup, U18 Oscar Traynor, Secondary Schools, Development Squads.There are obvious problems regarding e.g.Limerick FC in Limerick U16 Premier league, who will play us? Local clubs won't, and we would be targeting the top players in the area, so clubs won't stand for that either.
6) Womens football - get involved in this and increase active members in the Club. Very few EL clubs remain that don't realise the link here.
7) O'Neills - No replica kits,no casual gear for fans. I know a supplier that would love to get active in EL. Also, lets have Limerick FC supporters T-Shirts etc, make us a visual entity. No more Orchard Harvest, or whatever that old logo was.
Sorry for going on a bit. Can anyone that wants to, reply on any of my points - O.G.
They're all excellent points tbh
Can we have you at the meeting? :p
I'm going to get on to people this evening once I get credit :o to see what exact times and dates are suitable before we can start handing out the invites :ball:
keep the faith you could win the euro lotto tomorrow and you could become the new chairman/manager....i wonder would dolores like to get involved.Dolores McNamara Park,has a nice ring to it
I will be at the meeting, if I can help it at all!! I think we should look at 5pm on Saturday 18th of November. We should ask the Quality Hotel to sort us a Meeting Room. I would be against the idea of doing this in a Pub. We invite the FAI down and they can advise us on how to organise a SC, or 400 Club, and give information on the roles of committee members. We can then all head to Hogan Park together and scream the shed (or any part of ground)down at the last home game of season.
Anyone interested in Limerick FC T-Shirt, "Save Limerick FC" or along those lines,can get them done before meeting
Meeting:
Time: 5pm
Venue: Quality Hotel
Date: Sat 18th November
O.G.
I can make Saturday anyway lads so count me in
Love to be at this meeting but Sorry Guys won't be able to make it away for weekend in Dublin to see the Boss in Concert on Sat Night.
Best of Luck with the meeting but I feel that this will be settled at a higher level than SC or Fans Meeting.

I'll turn up on Saturday 18th if that's the date that suits people.
Saturday at 5pm is no good for me as I'm working....
Saterday 18th sounds good, it also gives us more that a week (starting now) to inform our none internet friends!
Non internet friends??Quote:
