We could possibly go from not being on tv (Barr the man city game) in nearly 20 years to a regular on it.Quote:

Not that I even care in the slightest.
Sligo don't really travel down south, they had a big crowd for our game at the end of the season but there were less than 50 in the summer. Might be a crowd for Limerick for the novelty, but Pats would bring far more than they would I'd imagine.Quote:

More like Shamrock Rovers Away, Sligo Rovers Away, St.Pats Away and round off the first month with UCD at home.Quote:

Looking forward to going to Thomond. There will be a novelty value to it for fans of most clubs this season. League Champions v FD champions in Thomond, on the box, would be a nice curtain raiser for the new season.
This should give a boast to the limerick support. I have never been inside the stadium but it looks impressive from outside and on tv. I have often been to Croke Park when its less than quarter full and the atmosphere is not bad at all. There was a great atmosphere at the Cup final this year with less than 1/3 capacity, could Limerick have any hope of getting crowds of around 5k ? One problem that might arise is that the catering facilities are not opened up due to the small crowds resulting in the casual fan staying away especially families.
