two new routes starting in Killmallock and Newcastlewest are to be added for this Friday night. I DO NOT NO WHERE EXACTLY YET SO DONT GO ASKING where there stopping etc and other stuff. Ill post up when i know the full details. Also the supporters club bus to kildare is filling up nicelly so anyone who wants to go will have to pay up and put ur name down this Friday at the table. its only €6 return.
Ye should try and get some posters up in the secondary schools and pubs around the towns. Ideally someone should visit the schools to publicise it properly. It's the only way you'll fill the buses. If you have posters I can get someone to put them up in a few pubs etc in NCW.

I presume it won't be a problem just getting the bus one way (back to Bruff) should I require it?
John the bus routes are a great idea but I think the Pallaskenry route would be better if it was run as followsQuote:

areas are only short drives to Askeaton.The rest of the
stops on that route are ok.
Maybe it should be mentioned to the powers that be at the club. I would have no problem putting up posters in NCW, Askeaton, Foynes, Rathkeale etc if it meant generating more interest....... At least if the club handed out flyers to individuals from certain areas in the county, ie all the big towns of free buses to the games well what harm would it do.
I think the route from askeaton via kilcornan would be a preferred route as their is a lot of intrest in limerick soccer in these two areas.
Just happened to be at an underage match in Pallaskenry tonight and I was talking to a lot of guys down there about the bus route from there, they seemed to think they would have trouble filling it as they have Desmond League matches on Friday night (well this weekend anyway) so I still think with a little bit of advertising Askeaton - Limerick would be the more viable option.
Just bringing this to the top again lads as its on again this Friday. i think the pallaskenry thing is still going :cool:
There are 5 buses departing from the following locations, and making stops in towns and villages on the way:Quote:

The half time entertainment will be played out this week by the Ennis Town underage academy, which, incidentally is run by Limerick FC head coach Declan Farmer.
Just as a matter of interest how many people are travelling on these buses. Are the viable in the long run with the present numbers
"Provide the bus and they will go".
And no this isn't a pipe (field of) dream(s). Come on the blues, lets send them ramblers packing friday night
I'm trying to find places in Newcastle West at the moment that will allow the match posters to be put up. Not going to go near any of the pubs yet as most of them have connections to the towns desmond league clubs, and with games on friday nights still taking place, I don't want to step on anyone's toes. They'll be going up in some schools and shops tomorrow though.
Fair play.Quote:
