In fairness to Sligo (and I'm not suggesting for a second they're the bees knees) that's applicable to almost every club in the league.

It's why the clubs are weak and why the league is weak. Narrow self interest.

Just on that aspect alone our academy starts working with kids when they're 3 years old.

I think we should levy all junior soccer players in Munster, build a stadium and lease it to limerick. Probably a crazy idea, imagine people in cork or waterford having to pay for a stadium used by an LOI club in limerick. Oh wait, it's been done already - it's how Turners Cross was part funded!

I'm sorry but thats completely irrelevant to my comment?

unless you meant to reply to the other comment? in which case please look past club colours and think about the state of Jackman Park and teh fact that Delaney will not give you a license for it. It is one of the worst stadia in the country and thats a fact. That has nothing to do with Bishopstown or whether Cork City had a stadium in the past. Its a current fact and it could prevent your club playing Premier Division football next season.

again you are just jumping on club colours here and ignoring the important stuff. The fact that jackman Park is a shocking stadium and there is no chance you get a license to play there next season. Try focusing on what is actually important and getting your club into the Premier division.

You Do know jackman park is the home of JUNIOR FOOTBALL in limerick? limerick fc were only leasing it off the LDMC but i do agree it hasn't a hope of getting a premier licence. Limerick fc Will be playing premier football next season in the markets field if not there thomond park is available option.

Unless they created another entrance to jackman park when flats behind ground are been knocked and with temporary seating behind the goal and on the grass bank also building new dressing rooms which has been mentioned while worked is been carried Out in markets field but the club are very confident of been in there new home for kick off of the new season.

Your basing that on the way the ground is now you have no idea what it would be like after the work is done to it... Its been said more then once that if we are using Jackman then we will be doing work to it like temp stands and upgrading the dressing rooms so after that it would most definitely be good enough for a licence.

Far as I know, as long as plans are in place, and work is ongoing in Markets, they will get a license for Jackman.

The only reason Harps got a license for Finn Park last time we were in the Premier was some similar reason being that the plans were in place for the new ground.

Do you really think Delaney is going to make exceptions for Limerick? Hes out to get them anyway he can, and all he has to do is follow the licensing rules. The irony here is that the fudge in this case will be not fudging it.

what upgrades? where would you put a temporary stand? honestly? where could you conceivably put a temporary stand? on the hill? Come on be serious here, where will you add an extra entrance? Theres so much more that would be required, licensing is much more than just having 500 covered seats and two entrances.

and Thomas, I'm fully aware that Jackman is a junior ground, and I've been to many better junior grounds around Munster in my underage career. Regardless, we are not talking about Jackman Park getting a license for junior games, we are talking about it in the context of Limerick FC. So in this context the fact that its a junior ground is completely 100% irrelevant. I feel like I'm using that word a lot in this thread.

Limericks management may be confident of being in markets Field for the start of the 2013 season but they were confident of being in there for the start of last season, and then for the last few games.

Even if for arguments sake no one complains about the planning application and its not delayed at all and the ground is ready in time for the kick off (which is really unlikely) will it be ready at the licensing deadline?

My point is though El-Pietro, there's rules in place for this sort of case. Delaney can't really bend the rules already in place. I'm sure they'll be allowed half a season in Jackman if it means the second half of the season in a finished Markets Field.

Id say we could put a temp stand in the big area of open space behind one of the goals that would make sense wouldn't it? And the entrance where the boarded up apartments are now when they are knocked soon. Other upgrades include upgrading both changing room and toilet facilities. You say lets be serious yet you haven't a clue what you are talking about actually knowing what Jackman Park is like would probably help your argument.

Tell me then what else would we need apart from what i mentioned?

I'd imagine it would be quite easy to stick in a temporary stand on the grass hill. Least a digger can simply come in and dig away space for it.

If all those houses are being knocked too then surely an entrance can be put in behind the nets at the bus station side?

Limerick were not moving into the markets field when still in the first division they wanted to begin life back there in premier football that was said by chairman.

Anyway don't worry about it it's irrelevant to you concentrate on your owe club cork city or cork forde city or what ever yer name is this year and we Will see you next year in the premier for the munster derby.

P.S thanks for shane duggan ;-)

Tons of room there for an entrance.

If you look at it there you can see there is massive space for a temp stand behind the goal opposite the club house and when those apartments are knocked there is more then enough room for an entrance.
