Yes I will be supporting Limerick 37 and see it as a continuation of Senior football in the city which started in 1937 !
I can't see why anyone here would NOT support Limerick37.
JRM Sports Ltd/Limerick FC was the private property of Danny Drew and his partner.
Limerick37 is controlled by virtually all the footballing interests in Limerick.
So, if anything, it should be easier for any long-standing football supporter in Limerick (as well as any new ones) to get behind the new club, as they should feel closer to its organisational structure (hopefully). I would prefer if the supporters were better represented in the new club, but given the lack of organisation among the supporters, it's not surprising that Soccer Limerick decided they had to go ahead with their plans without us. It may be possible to rectify this situation in the future.*
[* The supporters will have one non-voting representative on the board, elected by and accountable to the supporters, subject to approval by the rest of the board of the mechanism for election.
For a voting position on the board, you must own 100+ shares, which at the moment would cost €25,000.]
Yes, I will indeed support Limerick 37. I do not see it as Limerick FC under a different name because it isn't. As gombean has said above one is a private company owned by an individual that still exists, the other is a shareholding company owned by footballing interests and investors.
I dont think the SC was high on the agenda of persons comming into save senior soccer from disappearing , we kinda didnt exist last year so again this year it will be all systems go again. as for the 25Gs needed for a vote, forget it, most of the shares are already gone so we'll move on. Make sure your involved with the SC though Gombean as you have good ideas. PM LTID for next meeting place
i will be supporting them too,won't get to any games though but will follow them from afar
yes, i will be supporting the new club. even planning a trip home to take in the first home game, so on that very subject does anyone know when the fixtures are due out??
Will this forum be renamed "Limerick 37"?
Will the ignorant ,foulmouthed yobs who stood at the players pitch entrance in Rathbane,supposedly supporting Limerick City,be allowed continue their disgusting behaviour in Jackman with the new team????
Ah bless, were you one of the "foulmouuthed yobs"?
I believe they prefer the term Limerick ICF
will go and view the first 3 or 4 matches(did the same last season). If the footy is as crap as the 4 matches i saw last season, i;ll just have to watch something else. couldn't make it last friday, was the foptball of a better quality than last season(played on the grass)?
best of luck to lfc37
great idea and some good people involved..
