Great to be able to talk about any sort of a stand going up...even a lego one...after the last 23 years endured by this city concerning senior soccer....:ball:

GIP Mons Cows.
Well, we're half way through the next month (ref Old Keeper's post), anyone seen the plans yet?
Old-Keeper, I think you posted last summer that the terrace of 3 story houses facing the People's Park was due to be knocked, has there been any further development on this?
Good luck with the plans, great to see the steps forward being taken.

are there plans to put in a pathway around the back of the clubhouse for fans leaving from the farside of the ground at full time?
Or some lighting?Quote:

I just think the club should be cut a little slack with regards to ground improvements for a few months at least
Makes little odds to me really, I was just following up the query of a Limerick fan. :) That said, sticking a floodlight onto the back of the clubhouse, if that area is going to be open to fans, would hardly be considered as a major ground development. It should be in the clubs's own interest to make sure people aren't falling there.
Ah but that would imply some sort of owners liability :pQuote:

its something i just wanted to point out. i'm sure the club are aware of it.
how hard is it to install a concrete footpath? i reckon its something that needs to be top of their minor ground improvements list.
Don't think you'll see much of an improvement for people over that side because if they're planning to build a stand there it'll be closed off anyway :confused:Quote:

Yea the grass needs to be cut, they said it's being done next week. If it isn't I doubt the lads will be putting flags up there anymore :ball:Quote:

Thanks for the feedback, I dont think the prices charged at the shop were excessive as the cost of items in the shop are usually the same as the prices outside the ground and this is the first time it has been mentioned. I will look into what the cost of individual items were and ensure they are charged at the RRP there are usually free items given with crisps such as mini bars etc but I will see if this was done on the day.
The signs are over 2 meters back from the line this is in excess of the safety requirements for UEFA grounds and we can only comply. One could say the same in relation to the wall or the dugouts. we are complying with all safety requirements and will get to the other areas as soon as possible. The MJC was the third game in 3 days in the ground and the toilets were cleaned on the saturday but there was a game on sat evening so with the best will in the world there were going to be issues with cleaning of the ground for the sunday morning. I think the people who gave of their time freely did a good job in getting the place looking resonable for the MJC.
Lastly if you know anyone who would like to support the efforts of a growing band of volunteers who clean and maintain the ground please let the club know.
Again thanks for the feedback and I hope your questions are answered

Thanks again for the quick reply Old Keeper, there's really a sense that the club is moving forward again, long may it continue.
I charged adults one euro too. I paid 90 cent in a spar for them last week, i usually throw in some lollies or try and make packs like a cream egg and a capri sun for 1:50 (if the kids have it, or if they come close) I didnt have to get up out of bed the morning after being best man at a wedding and open the shop for two teams i have no interest in but i did.Quote:
