A number of years ago I was at a meeting in the George hotel convened by supporters of Limerick FC and attended by a respectable number of people many of whom had not been near a game in many years, and chaired by Mick Crowe in an entirely ex officio capacity, at which the problems of the club at that point were aired and they were very bad then.
In the course of this meeting a quantity of money was raised specifically to pay players.
This meeting was convened by using radio and newspapers as well as word of mouth and invitation to let supporters know what was really happening at the club.
I suggest that a similar meeting could be convened and used not only to raise money by donation, but to call on the committee to do the honourable thing and to resign on masse. There could then be a new one formed by the supporters present and for that committee to set up club memberships, this could put the club if not on a secure financial footing then at least into a situation from which future progress could be made.

It really is possible to do this you all have contact that can be used.
If it fails and is not supported then every one knows what the result will be.
I am in the U.K but I will be calling all my friends and family with whom |I went to the Limerick matches over the last 40 years to go to this meeting.
Committee if you are looking, this is your chance to have your say justify what has happened tell supporters why you should be helped and supported. This is not a proposal to bar anyone with a genuine desire to see senior soccer survive in Limerick. But now is the time the last chance saloon has called last orders.
This can be done it must be done if only to see who actually gives a damm about Limerick senior football
