Yeah apart from the second season syndrome thing which seems to have hit Rovers this year.
yep, they're only about 1,500 ahead of most clubs now...Quote:

. . . ouch.
I'm very excited about this :) But a big stadium with no fans would be depressing and a graveyard.
No more depressin then Jackman with no fans at least there will be a bar ;)Quote:

I had some time on my hands so here's the birds eye shot from Bing:

There appears to be plenty of space for ground development assuming the dog track can be got rid of.
And every month I turn on Crimecall there is always one of their fans on it!Quote:

Still, exciting times on Shannonside. :)
I am hoping the €3m is somehow inclusive of some ground development, even if its just dressing rooms & lights. Assume it cannot be a straight 3m cash going straight from Limerick/POS to IGB for the property as that would make no sense. That transaction also wouldn't need any agreement from a minister I would think. Possibly the site is worth 1.5m tops maybe. No announcement yet, so maybe its not even Limerick buying it, could be the council or something like that and as suggested by a previous poster is a way to subsidise IGB.
