Unless those dreaded Poles come in and bail us out of this one I think the club will cease to existQuote:

Not quite, mypost, Kerley only became Blues boss after Dolan left, just before this season just gone in fact. The 5 months without a win was this year. Last year we also had a long winless run under Brendan Rea, but nowhere near as long.Quote:

The Waterford fans have more or less acknowledged themselves that you didn't try last yearQuote:

For the record I don't rate him quite as highly as a lot of the Limerick bods on here. Basically in his two years with us he did good with a good squad and did crap with a crap squad :ball:
anymore?i thought ye had one.how about getting together and sorting out a plan to save yer club,sham rvs did it,g.u supporters trust helped alot when we were near Sh*t creek a few years ago.NOW is the time to get off your behinds and save yer club,surely ye yourselves have business contacts or can get the media behind ye for appeals etc etc,get a meeting together and try a few of these steps.IT IS achievable,shamrock rovers were in a more precarious position then ye and managed to stay alive.ask yerselves do ye love yer football club or just love going on forums and moaning to/about eachother,which is it????
and youd be amazed what politicans will do with an election fast approaching,trust me.so get willie o'dea togther and get this thing moving.
btw,the headline of this thread grabbed my attention,thats why im on here,it will be sad to see ye go,seriously.so i bet instead of people replying properly to my post ill probably just get a few of ye moaning at me for coming on here.my intentions are genuine,are yers?????
Business contacts? Not that I know of..................Quote:

Frankly we've never really known whats being happening at our club so its not going to be very different now.
Just to follow up on that, I completely agree that its time the supporters took action. The SC have been brilliant in the past, I think now we need to gather, all of us, together and get some ideas going
well guys whats going on are you confident limerick fc will not be folding??
the club cant surely move back to the pike or jackman it would be better off to fold than move to jackman the place is a kip hogan park is better than that hole... crazy iv never seen anything like this regarding senior soccer in this town its embrassing at this stage. :(
Sorry to embarrass you thomas72....really...:rolleyes:Quote:

actually i remember we had a m.b for our own club and that mb was just about single handedly responsible for bringing down the old board of directors.but that was also during the season when chants of sack the board could be heard on the terraces,it was all co-ordinated on a forum like this one though,but obviously its more difficult for ye right now but not impossible.
What the bejaysus are you talking about? Just because a few, ahem, misguided souls on here have said that how does that follow that that's what the team were at?Quote:

Bottom of the barrel is what I'm trying to say.
There was never a question of 'didn't try', they tried their knackers off, but they were hampered by a manager who was at first too conservative to let them have a go at teams they might have had a chance against, preferring moral 1-0 defeats to tankings I suppose, and later did not possess the motivational skills to lift the team from the malaise that a prolonged run of defeat causes. Not all his fault, by any means, but a large portion of it.
It alarms me, though, how easy a few loose remarks by fans who know nothing definite but just want to deflect criticism by saying 'ah we weren't trying' is accepted as gospel straight from the Blues dressingroom!
Anyway, not trying to hijack the thread. Just saying that if you find yourselves in the position we were at the start of the season with no cash and a scratch squad, sign someone like Foxy Tommy as your manager and not Static Mike.
Dont agree there at all Thomas, if the club folds it will never come back and if it was to fold the best it could come back as is an "a" division team.Quote:

In fairness what can we do? As In Exile said, we'd be lucky to get a Limerick 40 supporters trust going, let alone the (possibly) required 400 that would be needed, so thats the idea of a Supporters Trust dead in the water. As for asking questions, who are we going to ask them to? Danny has said he is done with the club, besides that he never had much time for the SC in the past anyway. So until new owners come in and sort us out (looking doubtful if we are to be honest) Limerick FC shall be dead and buried by tomorrow and there is nothing we as supporters can do about it at this late stageQuote:

Limerick discuss Jackman return

Limerick FC may be on the verge of moving back to Jackman Park four years after leaving the venue.
Limerick Chairman Danny Drew said yesterday that they would meet with Limerick Junior soccer chiefs, the Limerick District Management Committee (LDMC) this evening. (Fri Dec 8)
The meetings have been called to discuss the possibility of the eircom League side returning to Jackman which is the headquarters of Limerick Junior soccer.
Drew also confirmed that they had made an official approach to the Limerick Desmond League with a view to opening talks about playing at their ground in Askeaton next season.
Limerick last played at Jackman Park in 2002 before moving to the Pike Rovers Sportsgrounds and then Hogan Park where they have been playing for the last two seasons.
However, the Shannonsiders were told last week that their application to be granted a UEFA licence to play football at Hogan Park next season had been rejected.
It is understood that one of the reasons given for turning down the clubs application was infrastructural.
Drew said: 'We will meet with the Limerick District Management Committee tonight to discuss the possibility of us playing at Jackman Park in the future.
'We have also requested a meeting with the Limerick Desmond League with a view to playing at their ground in Askeaton but we are waiting for them to get back to us.'
Drew also confirmed that the Polish business consortium associated with a takeover bid for the club are still very interested.
He added: 'We are having ongoing talks with the Polish people concerned and the picture should become clearer after tonight's meeting.'
According to one of today's papers Drew has until 12pm tomorrow to sort out the club's licence (a ground for next season in other words), otherwise the club will not be in the league next year.
Which paper?? Thats a load of bollock....not from you Kerry Blue, but from the paper. The league will give Limerick every chance.
id say it will be about 2/3 weeks before we hear anything for good or bad, but i dont think we'll be playing in Hogan park ever again as none of the interested parties (Limerick FC/FAI) have gotten a playing lease :ball: :ball:
come on joe tell us more. you're better in the no then the rest of us.Quote:

Why will Fr Young not give the FAI a lease on Hogan Park ?
If Limerick are back at Jackman will they have to play on Sunday afternoons ?
Considering that question and response were given with less than 48 hours before a final decision would be made by the FAI as to whether or not there would even be a Limerick FC anymore I think saying that there was nothing we could do now was a perfectly reasonable responseQuote:

I wonder what has been done to change the decision??
'wrong!', who are you? Paris Hilton? Anyway that question that I answered was asked in this thread, not last year. Fair enough you can say that we could have been asking that question all year, but if you look through our threads you'll see that we have. My response had to do with a fan asking what we can do 48 hours before our appeal is submitted, and the answer to that one is still a big fat zeroQuote:

With Galway now being a part of the Premier set-up and us talking of a return to Jackman Park it just shows where we are in the scheme of things. Take nothing away from Galway, they deserve to be a part of it. However on the way this club is run, we don't, and a return to Jackman Park for me signals the future will be more of the same.
I've been harping on about this for ages now but we could really do with a public meeting from the club explaining whats going on, and where we're going. Seriously lads, this is a f**king joke. 12euro a match next season???
So getting away from the name calling and the doom and gloom, what can be done?
Imo, forget Hogan Park, whatever Young wants obviously can't be given if a return to Jackman Park is being mooted. So, if Hogan Park is gone, what's the next best thing? Is it Jackman, Pike Rovers, or where, should the Market's field be tried for one last season (is it due to be knocked?), or Thomond Park, would one of the rugby clubs allow a ground share? Should Limerick try and work a deal with UL or LIT?
Also, leaving Hogan Park may be no bad thing for Limerick FC, the majority of the "floating" Limerick sports supporters (ie summer hurling supporters, HEC rugby supporters etc) will never feel comfortable going to Southill for games, you'd get more at a field in Castletroy than at a stadium in Southill. (not my fault they're snobs, but they are, so lets accept it for now).
Now, how do you get the floating fans who turned Munster from a 400 supporter base to a 40,000 supporter base into following Limerick FC?
pretty reasonable :SQuote:

Basically, we have been told more bare-faced lies:
RTE said:Danny Drew said:Quote:

Limerick Chairman Danny Drew said yesterday that they would meet with Limerick Junior soccer chiefs, the Limerick District Management Committee (LDMC) this evening. (Fri Dec 8)
I have personally spoken to three committee members of the LDMC. All three have confirmed that there was no official meeting last Friday night. Nobody from the LDMC was expecting to meet Danny Drew. And all three knew of no pending meeting to broach the subject.Quote:
'We will meet with the Limerick District Management Committee tonight to discuss the possibility of us playing at Jackman Park in the future.
'We have also requested a meeting with the Limerick Desmond League with a view to playing at their ground in Askeaton but we are waiting for them to get back to us.'
Drew also confirmed that the Polish business consortium associated with a takeover bid for the club are still very interested.
He added: 'We are having ongoing talks with the Polish people concerned and the picture should become clearer after tonight's meeting.'
This is yet another lie. This may sound like a personal attack but it isn't. It is born out of frustration at being constantly lied at again and again and again by the sole controlling force within the club.
It is sickening. And he is sickenng. I'm off now before I get banned.
