This is them as it stands. They may have changed for the new season, not sure.

AFAIK they've been furiously working towards the Longford Town church gate collections, don't print any programmes, bus in a load of Dubs model but these things take time and in fairness to Pat and the lads they started from a very low base. :ball:
I think I read Shels made a profit. Small but still...........
No.............as i said before limerick and before them limerick 37 made profits
posted this on the prize money thread. COuld easily be that the FAI are trying to get the money upfront from Limerick to pay for the court case too
Quote:
It was put to me last night that there's a feeling within the league that the money saved by the FAI in prizemoney for the league, is being ringfenced for the LImerick friendly court case. The FAI statement at the time did mention the case would affect grass roots football (or similar).
INteresting thought. If the FAI are paying out less prize money than they get in affiliation fees, something's not quite right
The stipulation made to Limerick from what i believe was secured on the same day(Monday). Don't see why there is a delay in granting the licence. Surely it could have been given the next day and not have to wait till Thursday. Why the stalling?
I'd imagine that might just be a question of logistics. Don't the licensing committee have real jobs? probably can only meet Thursday
well to day is the day, make or break time
wow - not beyond the realms of possibility at all Dodge. Surely they couldnt sink that low, could they?
Problem with the machine in the fudge factory?
Id say it is because Pat O Sullivan is out of the country until Saturday or could just be a problem with transferring money ..Said on radio it was a problem beyond the clubs control so id say they have what they need just a little hold up.
Good luck to Limerick ye have shown some backbone to the bullies within the FAI hope all ends well.
Just to clarify it lads, Limerick FC weren't given an extension on the deadline because they couldn't meet the deadline like the earlier statement might lead people to believe. The granting of the license has been extended through no fault of Limericks as they have been in a position since Monday to sort it out.
Statement from Limerick: http://limerickfc.ie/Home/news/110217licence.html
I'd say they do actually. I think we fail to meet the ground requirements but get away with it because of the new stadium project. Drogheda previously had the same with theirs. I'd imagine that as Jackman also misses the standards that there has to be some sort of plan in place to get up to the mark.
Who knows what to make of licensing at this stage though?
As far as I can remember we were issued license to play in Mels due to having concrete plans to move to Lissywollen
But this is kind of my point - I don't think Limerick saying 'we're trying to buy it' will have much influence.
Now, 'concrete plans'.......in that case, we'd have to have already bought the Market's Field??!!
Woohoo!!

I hope the potential move to the Market's Field develops and gets approved soon. It'll be a great move for the club.
Going by the Limerick website, it'll be good news tomorrow.
If there is a redraft, I hope Limerick keep the Waterford and Shel's fixtures for April. They'll be the first two decent games to go to.
