Schoolboy/ Girl setup
Youth Setup
Active and inclusive committee
Good dicipline
Add them all together and then see who comes out top but remember its not about winning cups and leagues just about the best run club
Keep this thread on-topic,it deserves as much.
Pitch : pike/boro/fairview
Clubhouse : pike/boro
Dressing rooms : shelbourne

All weather training facilities : mungret
Supporters : pike/balla
Sponsors : pike
involvement with the local community : don't know
Schoolboy/ Girl setup : geraldines
Youth Setup: wembly/geraldines
Active and inclusive committee : don't know
Good dicipline : fairview
Thats just my opinion based on my past experiences.
Corbally, on all fronts.
Murroe A.F.C.
I note with interest that all clubs listed by all posters so far in this thread are city clubs, there is life outside the city limits lads!
Murroe A.F.C.
F.A.I. National Club of the Month for Feb 06
2 full size playing pitches
Floodlit All-weather training pitch
Clubhouse
Plenty of car-parking
Bought and paid for the land on which all this sits, unlike a lot of clubs who get land given to them or leased long term from county/city councils.
And as of last Friday night the club debt is now nil.
2 junior mens teams, 1 senior ladies team, 15 schoolboy/girl teams
Memebers of club sitting on L.C.S.L. committee, L.D.M.C. committee, and Limerick Ladies League committee. and so on ................
can any club in Limerick top that?
i agree also club outside the city with great facilities isQuote:

2 good pitches , good parking and good clubhouse also right beside LIDL'S for good shopping after game :)
Pitch: View/Boro/Pike/Ch'ville/3 pitches in rathurd
Clubhouse: Boro/View/Pike
Dressing rooms: Shelbourne/Boro/Ch'ville/Murroe/
Car parking: Pike/Ch'ville
All weather training facilities: Murroe/Mungret/Boro have gym(dont know if that counts)
Supporters:Dines/Wembly
Sponsors: Pike / Wembly
involvement with the local community:Dines?/ He'bstown?
Schoolboy/ Girl setup: Dines/ View/ Ashling
Youth Setup: Dines/Wembley
Active and inclusive committee: Cant Comment
Good dicipline : Wembley/
id say pike+fairview they have the two best pitchs+clubhouses in town boro had a good one but seems to have being let to be run down for the last couple of years+plus they rent out part of their pitch now as well
what about purely training facilities.....................
alot of clubs have to pay good money to other bodies such as LIT / Villiers/ UL etc to rent them weekly...... maybe a bit of investment would pay off and clubs could actually rent out their own facilities to generate income to better the club and therefor soccer as opposed to paying for other clubs/bodies facilities. eg astro turf/ lights etc. ??????????????????????????
Pitch: Pike field has been consistently the best for many seasons now.
Clubhouse: Pike a bit dated but very good. Boro likewise. Fairview club also very good.
Dressing rooms: Anybody but Pike, but I believe they're making improvements there.
Car parking: Pike on match days....not at night though.
All weather training facilities: UL provide excellent facilities for all clubs to use.
Supporters: Each to their own I guess. All clubs in Limerick are very very clannish.
Sponsors: Pike
involvement with the local communityi? Most country clubs.
Schoolboy/ Girl setup: Dines
Youth Setup: Dines/Wembley
Active and inclusive committee: All committee members that pull their weight deserve to be cannonised. I did this for several years with a now sadly defunct club and know that it is nothing but a thankless job.
Good dicipline : Varies from year to year I suppose.
I suppose I would consider Pike the best run club in town and if they restore the schoolboys and youths to what they were years ago, they will be a super example of what a football club should be.
what the sponsors about? agree with the only1 boro is getting run down they must be the only club that share their pitch must be stuck for money:DQuote:

youth set up is only one of the criteria on the list
In My own opinion Murroe would be the best run club at the moment in Limerick
Pitch: two excellent pitches
Clubhouse: Club house to meet the clubs needs and also the needs of the community
Dressing rooms: Superb dressing rooms
Car parking: Ample parking for home and away teams
All weather training facilities: Superb Floodlit all weather playing surface
Supporters: When see they are vocal
Sponsors: Dont know but as the club is debt free its a small point
involvement with the local community: Excellent involvement
Schoolboy/ Girl setup: One of the strongest in the league
Youth Setup: Dont know
Active and inclusive committee: Very active very forward seeing committee
Good dicipline: Good both on and off the field
Pitch closest to clubhouse in Murroe is very poor. Huge slope down to one corner. Apart from that, excellent set up.
Never even knew that murroe had all these facilities out there...Must take a trip out there and compare there facilities with our ow.n.....Will get back to ye on this!!!
