This isn't news. Everyone knows that Markets Field won't be ready despite protestations from some Limerick fans that it would. It is also plainly obvious to most that Limerick will struggle to get a license to play in the Premier Division while they play at Jackman Park, and that any funds that are sunk into making it acceptable are a waste of money, that any LOI club can ill afford.
This ****es me off no end. The Market's field should be ready for the new season - this should have been a top priority. Silly to be renting Thomond for any length of time.
Has the deal not been made already?Quote:

Ye were saying the same thing 12 months ago, that you would rather play in Jackman for one extra year rather than rush Markets Field. 12 months on and you are no closer to playing there than we are to playing on the Moon.
Problem??
Markets Field doesn't work out, we buy Thomond.
Rugby is dead
You haven't a clue what your talking about do you think you just open up the gates and start work? You do know limerick aren't the sole owners of that stadium that ground was only bought last year in that time frame the stadium design has been done ( that doesn't take a week or two) meetings with other parties involved meeting with residents in the area and planning permission has been submitted which takes a bit of time.Quote:

Well that's kind of stating the obvious.Quote:

If anything there has been strong debate amongst Limerick fans about the promises set out nearly 2 years ago and how they have changed every few months. A quick look over at the markets field thread will show that.
This is frustrating to say the least. The line that's going now about its out of the clubs hands should have been there from the start instead of leading people to believe it was the club running the show an everything was under control.
In saying all that I still believe we will eventually be there.
All these changed, delays etc... will kill the buzz about returning to the premier. If we then follow that with a bad season we will lose out on any extra support we might have built up.
I hope we are away to Limerick first game of the season now
We hear you El-P, but with respect you really don't know the ins and outs.
Markets Field is nothing to do with Limerick so there isn't much we can do on that score.
I said on here a while back that if we weren't in for March it would be because the plans have changed, and lo, the plans have changed,
I'm happy with the plans but annoyed with the delay.
But there's nothing I can do about it.
Thomond Park is a brilliant alternative for lots of reasons and I'm delighted with it.
What condition is Jackman? Surely it cant be much worse then say, Tolka.
Will Jackman get a premier Licence? Is that the reason for Thomond being considered?
ye can have Deacy park (TERRYLAND) if yer stuck wont be used next season anyway
tolka is like the new wembley compared to jackman park the condition its in now not a chance of a premier licence. One entrance poor dressing rooms poor toilet facilities only 250 seats etc etc.Quote:

Hope my next one is to Thomand.
