Good that you are happy with the new plans id trust you on that kinda thing ha.
So with premier league football all but secured is there anybody getting a bit worried with the lack of work been done in the markets field was told tonight that there is a meeting next week that will give the club an idea were they stand.
What is the hold up? i just can't see the place been ready in time anyone thinking its looking like thomond park?
If it is not ready for the start of next season it will give a lot of people a terrible impression of where the club are going. It will be just another broken promise and start us off in the premier on the wrong foot.
I just can't see it been ready and if its not ready then what its prob thomond park or nothing what would the rent of that stadium be for the season big bucks id say.
The rent wouldn't be too expensive if a deal was done to just rent the terrace but by right us renting Thomond park should be needless.
It always seems to be the story of limericks life,rent,rent,rent,Does anybody know what is going on in the Markets Field?????everyone seems to have an opinion,but nobody knows what the hell is really going on,do they????Quote:

The first one.Quote:

Will be a disaster to start life in the premier with what people will see as just another broken promise from Limerick. I know its not in Limericks hands but a lot of people wont know that and i only just found out recently about it myself.
I thought the club bought the markets field with help from jp obvious Im wrong so who owns the ground since we can't seem to build anything without permission
JP bought the ground and the LEDP control it from what im told.Quote:

That's what was said in the papers at the time, and on a number of occassions since.
It was bought for the express purpose of providing a permanent home for Limerick FC, but it is not owned by Limerick FC. So rent will be paid for its use.
Couldn't do that though. Need 1500 seats for Premier football if I remember right.Quote:

Well I suppose they could say they have use of one stand. Would they actually have to put people in it?
Agree it would look ridiculous though. Even if by done miracle we got 4000-5000 it would still look poor enough.
At least Pat Dolan would be happy to see a 20,000+ stadium in the league.
Well lads, any progress at all? I'd be concerned for your chances of getting a license if ye haven't moved in in time for the new season. Delaney is just waitinf for a chance to stick the knife in again. Plus, no one up here wants to go back to Jackman Park ever again.
That is the big sticking point now. I would be amazed if contingency plans weren't ready in the event of a wait on the Markets Field (which seems likely).
What are the minimum requirements in regards stadia?
Actually, this really does need all the attention from this point on. Getting promotion on the field is great, but some reassurance to fans that it won't get snatched away by the licensing procedure would not go amiss.
Reassurance to come from the club I mean, if they would outline what the timetable is for the Markets Field, and what other arrangements are being mooted if it won't be completed before Spring.
Agreed, people can't go the next 4 months wondering will we or will we not be in the Markets Field.
Pat was on 95fm this morning. He said all the pre-planning is done, the plans have been agreed on and finalised by limerick FC and the LEDP. It is being lodged in two weeks. Unless someone places an objection to the markets field it should be ready for kickoff of the 2013 season.
Hopefully the keep us updated from here on.
I wonder how likely it is that one of the fools around this city will object.Quote:

Nothing stopping them making the area a no park zone either and let people stroll from somewhere else. It's close enough to town and car parks to allow for this.
I don't see why Geraldine's should be involved either. It will be a municipal stadium so everyone should be allowed get the same use of it as anyone else, not just the dines cause they are close by.

I haven't heard anything about Geraldines complaining about it at all myself what complaint could they possibly have?
I just really can't see it being completed on time. No pitch laid, winter coming on, planning process till to be muddled through. Pat O'Sullivan has extraordinary confidence though.
We all remember some of the LCC members talking nonsense about lodging complaints over the plans a while ago, but it could have been just talk.
Might end up being a bit of a silly thing to say if we dont get in their but for now ill trust Pat.Quote:

Judging by what pat says in the Irish times article alot of the preparatory work does not require planning perssion i.e. the laying of the pitch,erection of goalposts, the transformation of whatever rooms are available into temporary dressing rooms and the general tidying up of the grounds.does anyone on here have access to the grounds and if so what is the current condition of the place as it stands.
Awful.Quote:

I sure if you have the pitch, one Stand and dressing rooms etc ready you will be grand, you could be working on the 3 sides of the ground during the season.
Really hope ye will be playing in Markets field net year

That kind of talk worries me a bit. It will be great to have a plan b but last thing we want is a handy fall back and excuse for not going into the markets field as soon as we can.
Can't see jackman getting a premier licence with one small entrance to the groundQuote:
