Plenty of space alright but the problem is pumping money into a ground that won't be ours to use there afterwards. It will probably be pretty expense to extend the dressing rooms, make the hill safe for temporary stands, rent the stands and make another secure entrance.

as has been mentioned there is a half a mile of flats to be knocked in Jan and an entrance anywhere along there if not two, three or as many as we like can go there. also at that end a stand similar to wexford or Bray can be put in the wedth of the pitch. No matter how bad we build a stand nothing and i mean nothing can be as bad as that ****tte st annes end yee did in cork.Quote:

Looking like Jackman http://www.limerickleader.ie/news/bu...ield-1-4391361
More nonsense from city Councillors. Leddin was opposing the plans a few months ago, now talking about how they can be "fast-tracked". Now that Limerick have been promoted, I guess they don't want the possible stigma of damaging that process. 2014 isn't that far away.
Really dissapointing if it is Jackman though, improved or not.
I thought Limerick FC said it would be available to the local community already?
Do the councilors not realise that it's the LEDP that own the Markets Field and surely it's them who will ultimately decide what else the Markets Field can be used for. I'm pretty sure Limerick FC can't turn around and say "right this is only for soccer and the local community can't use it".
It looks like to me they are just letting everyone know this can be fast tracked.
Any news on this ? is it looking more and more likely that we won't see Prem football in the Markets field next season ?
Well lads has the field been laid yet up there...
Planning permission hasn't gone through yet.
Surely they dont need planning permission to lay new grass where the existing grass is do they? Could seating be put into the stand and refurbish or get temporary changing rooms (portacabins) and tidy the place up a bit. Surely this would bring the ground up to standard while waiting for planning permission and would be money better spent than doing up Jackman Park, id imagine it would be easier get a prem licence for the Markets Field Than Jackman.
shur lets give galway back prem football and go to terryland for a year kills two birds etc etc
what would the capacity of markets field be when ye move in?
Not sure, would that be up to the fire Marshall to decide when the time comes?Quote:

Galway United Supporters Trust could offer some services like stewarding, programme, event promotion etc which could help us continue to re establish Galway United and rehabilitate the club back into the league for a small fee of courseQuote:

That aerial photo was taken in late 2007, I reckon (the roof of the stand was replaced in 2009).Quote:

I really hope Limerick will not be playing there next season, but it's easy to see how a Bray- or Wexford-type stand (something lightweight and cheap) could be put in at the Station side.
As for behind the goal at the City end, I would go for something more substantial which could be moved to the Markets Field afterwards. It might be possible to get a stand that would go into Jackman Park temporarily, but could then be converted/upgraded to a permanent structure in the Markets Field.
Thomond Park confirmed: http://www.extratime.ie/newsdesk/art...as-home-venue/
honestly, that just looks like hes basing that on the fixture list. No quotes from anyone, the headline is they announce it, but the article then doesn't touch on this at all.
Nothing on their official site.
Was thinking that myself but was talking to someone involved with the club this morning and he said the deal is signed with Thomond Park.Quote:

The move to Thomond has sparked a fair bit of interest and hype to the games. I hope it fills through to a good turn out behind the team on Sunday.
On MNS the other night, the build-up piece for Limerick included a peek through the gap in one of the gates at the Market's Field.
You can watch it on the RTE Player (Limerick piece starts at 1:30).
Any forward momentum on the Market's Field in the last while?
The club wasn't giving anything away when asked at the Q&A after the Supporters Club AGM. Just said there was hope of an announcement of some sort in the next month.Quote:

The LEDP have announced on their website that work is due to start on the PITCH soon. Are there any plans to do the ground itself, surely the pitch should be done after.Who will use the pitch as soon as it's done. I phoned LEFT but the told me send an email
Pitch takes quite a long time to do. They'll do work on the pitch and I'd assume do up the old grandstand to get it open and get out of thomond asap.
Will still be sceptical till the day we see the diggers move in. At least now we can see the LEDP are making some kind of a move with it though.
Something going on in there today. Trucks comming and going
