Campaign To Take Us Back To The Markets Field
I'm sure everyone agrees with me that at the moment Limerick FC's biggest problem is that we are HOMELESS. Aslong as we remain HOMELESS the club is doomed and has no chance of devoloping.With virtually no gate receipts whoever is in charge of the team and the club can practically forget about the prospect of Premier Football.Jackman and the Pike Field are not the answer but as Sadloserkid has emphasised at the moment we have no other options.The general consensus from everyone on this board and everyone in Limerick city and county is that the Markets Field is the best option.However the club is in no position to purchase this venue.The only option available is that the fans try and force the issue,make our voices heard,spread the word,get it in the media that we are all determined that Limerick FC will return to their spiritual home.If the club and the fans don't express their strong desire to move back th the Markets Field then no-one will ever know.If we can publicise our desire to purchase the venue then maybe people will stand up and take note and investors will come on board.We need a Peter Hogan type investor who can make this dream a reality.JP McManus,a consortium ,the corporation,FAI assistance anyone atall.Massive fund raisers to bring the once famous ground back into the LOI.To achieve this we need a committee to express our feelings.At our first game in the Pike Field we should try and gain media coverage by chanting for the Markets Field or signing a petition.Maybe on one of the flags we are getting we could write some message on it expressing our desire to play there.We have to make of voices heard.With Bord Na Gon vacating the Markets Field in the near future we will never again get a better opportunity to acquire a permanent base for Limerick senior socccer.
