today i have been down to the ground to see the vandalism caused to our bus.some moron engraved limerick on the side of the bus right down to the metal,as well askeying the complete side of the bus.i know it is not the supporters of limerick fc who are responsible for this,but it makes sick that a mindless coward would this may he have the sh1tes for a year:mad::mad:
That's bad form. Is that the black Merc bus with the Youths crest on it and everything?
know it not Limerick supporters but Limerick need to provide safe parking for buses traveling to their ground be it a team bus or a supporters bus or at least someone to watch the buses as then are easy targets for mindless vandals
yes 1000's euro worth of damage
yeah that the oneQuote:

Not many clubs do this you realise and we have accomodated club buses in the ground before (they do have to be there early as they would have to drive in before the first supporters started to arrive). I've travelled to Shels and UCD on the supporters club bus this season and there hasn't been secure parking provided, same when we've travelled to places like Cobh, Galway and Athlone, in fact I'd be surprsied if you could find many clubs from any league you want that allow sc buses to park in the ground.Quote:

It wasn't a supporters club bus that was vandalised it was the team bus.Quote:

When did it get there? Did they ask could they park inside?Quote:

Did you ask about coming in, or just park there? What time did you get there?Quote:

dont try and water this down with other issues,if you had 2 pitches we would warm up on the training pitch,ask athlone we always do.vandalism is moronic and that is what happened,we have been there before several times but this time a MORON has put your club in a poor light,that is the issue stick to it!!
Jesus don't wet yourself champ, I've asked you two questions
Did you, as a club, ask to drive the bus into the ground?
What time did you arrive at? (Cause you can't drive in if supporters are walking in now can you?)
Do you know the answers to these questions?
I've already said it's an unfortunate instance, but that is society isn't? Stuff like this could happen to your car parked on a street in any town so it's not an exclusive problem that we have down here
Every town & city in Ireland has scum who do this. Theres no respect for anything these days. Mick Wallace & others are trying to do something positive for young people, what happen is a disgrace , but not exclusive to Limerick. I think we saw over the last few days decent poeople fro Limerick & everying thats wrong about not just Limerick but the whole island.Quote:

They were probably told that they couldn't park in the ground, but that there was a poorly lit patch of ground to the rear where they could park instead [in a cunning revenge attack for the fiasco in Wexford last season].Quote:

Have to say, it was a lovely bus.
Because you have no answers for reasonable questions perhaps?Quote:

It's a lovely bus but it's also very attention grabbing and sadly in todays society it's going to attract the wrong sort of attention. Hopefully it was reported to the Gardai and it may be possible that the vandalism was witnessed or caught on CCTV.
Rubbish.Quote:

answer to your questions is don't know if asked to park inside ground never been any trouble parking the bus outside the ground in the past. i know for the under20 game the bus was parked in the bus depot near the ground.Quote:

yes loads of room to park a bus but it would be a tight squeeze to get it in although Limerick fans have said buses parked in there before but have to be probably very early to do so as already saidQuote:

certain people on here need to realize this could have happened anywhere like passinginterest said bus attracts the wrong kind of attention. It has been damaged before but never this badly.
Very unlikely it was Limerick FC fans but it does not reflect greatly on the club either. The damage done either took a while with a key or someone had an item on their person to do damage as it went down to the metal.
In relation to UCD. The campus is patroled by Security and there is also cctv cameras around the Student centre which is the closest car park to the bowl.Quote:

I mentioned Terryland in relation to SC buses. We hav room for a bus as well, really does depend on whether the Youths asked could they come in and what time they got there at because there is only one way in to the ground and if people are walking in you can't very well drive a bus down thereQuote:

Not that it matters one jot.
Lots of grounds don't have secure parking.
Unfortunate for Wexford but their bus getting damaged has naff all to do with Limerick FC.
It has nothing, NOTHING, to do with the club.Quote:

Happened on the street outside a ground we don't even own.
Now you're sucking diesel.Quote:

Bit of common sense like this from your driver wouldn't go astray.
How big is the bus? Standard mimi-couch or something larger?
If it's something larger then it probably wouldn't make the turn alright but there is room in the ground alright.
Either way we don't own the ground so if you have complaints about it send them to the LDMC
First off all, this was not a Limerick fan who did this. There was no damage to the bus after the match so it would have happened when all the Limerick fans were gone away.
I myself was suprised that the bus was parked out on the road. I even mentioned it walking into the ground because I know the majority of the Limerick players and officials park behind the goals in the ground. As Jebus said, the team bus may have arrived late and they couldn't drive in when theres fans in the ground. Bad form though, quality bus.
Would be a tight squeeze for any size bus.
Class bus and a disgrace what was done to it. I was one of the last people left outside the ground waiting for a lift and saw nothing happening and that was up to about 10mins after kick off so it must have been a little later than this.
the majority of grounds can guarantee the safety of away team transport, I know monaghan take there responsibility to away teams seriously so do most clubs.you have to when its your property..
It happens everywhere you go, last season the Oriel Travel bus had one of its windows bricked outside Athlones ground just as it was pulling off. Few other incidences, mate of mine was talking to a Bray fan who went to the recent game in Sligo and he said they had a window put in on their bus! Absolute disgrace what a certian amount of morons are doing.
This is the bus..Quote:
