The L37 article is a bit suss, admiteddly. Ger Finnin is quoted thus; "We want to tell people who follow top British clubs to keep supporting them, but follow Limerick 37 as well. Make us your second team", pleads Finnin. "Let's design a scarf that says Manchester United on one side and Limerick 37 on the other, so they can feel part of both clubs."
At first this seems a bit annoying but on second thoughts why not. There is hardly a supporter at Limerick games (or any eL games) that doesn't support a British team. And if they're willing to look that silly why not sell them a scarf with both clubs on it. Give the consumers what they want and all that. :ball:Quote:

I remember going to Anfield on a school tour (lost 1-0 to Villa btw) and someone wanted a Liverpool/Celtic scarf (cause of the great links they have!!!!) when we got there, surprise surprise half the clubs in Europe where represented on these types of scarfs BUT according to the guy selling them they are big sellers, the ones with Celtic/Liverpool and RANGERS/Liverpool are the most popular according to the bin dipper who unsuccesfully tried to distract up while his mates took 5 mins to realise there was no hub-caps on our bus! anyway............................if its brings in extra cash lash em out! il have a Limerick/Lazio one please Mr Finnin!Quote:

Thanks for your comment. When we can sell a ground for a few million euros and can turn our noses up at any opportunity to earn a few bob we'll adopt a superior attitude too. :rolleyes:Quote:

its this part you should be looking at bosco.
Hi
The reason we have been contacting all and every media outlet is to raise the profile of the club. I agree that there are some who would like to have supporters ONLY support an FAI EL club, but lets be realistic here, the seasons overlap and while there can be no debate on the level of support for cross channel teams, we must try to attract these young fans back. One way is to incorporate their existing clubs into the support for Limerick 37. I am sure that if we can get a few fans who watch teams only on TV to come to a Limerick 37 home game we will keep them coming as there is no comparison between watching a game surrounded by the passion of home supporters and the sterile experience of a TV. So we pass no apology for using every and any means to attract the supporters who are currently looking east for their football fix.
See, there's your first mistake there, trying to use common sense with a Bohs fan. ;)Quote:

Hi LFCQuote:

I know a LFC fan who's now actually started supporting Bohs.:)
Couldn't agree moreQuote:

L37 first and foremost, Brit team second if that's your thing
What a stoopid commentQuote:

Also before you come on here giving out to the Anglophiles (I happen to agree with you btw) you might want to look at the apes aping casual culture at your own club :rolleyes:
Another stoopid comment ;) :)Quote:

The only thing you've a constant grasp of is tucked firmly between your legs by the looks of things :rolleyes:Quote:

As for the split scarves idea, well I wouldn't buy one, but I think the idea could be useful in getting (say) Limerick based Man Utd fans to take an interest in the club. We can tell them United first, Limerick second to get them through the gates, give them time and naturally they will start supporting Limerick 37 as their first club, its what happened to me anyway
What has casual culture got to do with this discussion FFS? :rolleyes:Quote:

When City folded none of the fans should have supported Limerick FC and when FC folded none should support L37? Do you realise how many fans L37 would have following this logic?
We don't drop clubs at the drop of a hat - we support our eL team. The names must change because it isn't hats that drop its the clubs themselves.
Oldkeeper - i wasn't addressing my comment at you but the smug Bohs fan who thinks he knows enough to comment but just really is displaying his ignorance.
LTID - I don't see this as embarrassing at all. How many supporters of British clubs are there in Limerick. Many of them spend a lot of money going to the UK every week to support 'their' team. If a fraction of them purchased two-sided scarves to wear on their travels (many probably wouldn't even go to the Jacks - they'd use them to look good in OT or Anfield or the Emirates) we'd make a lot of money. If we sold 500 of them say, at €12 a pop - that's €6,000. At a 50% mark-up thats €2,000. I cannot see how you can argue with that. And why try to annoy barstoolers into the ground when you can just flog them a few scarves and get their money. QED.
I can.....;)Quote:

Roll your eyes all you want, you still look thick.
All the purists out there with the cheap digs at L37 can you explain:
A. The exact circumstances behind the demise of LFC
B. What you would have done different
Otherwise I suggest shutting your mouth would be the thing to do
If you want to get involved in semantics, that was lifted from Lim till i die! :rolleyes:Quote:

Jesus Christ poindexter, what In Exile is getting at is that we have been supporting the only senior football team in Limerick. It can come under different names, it can be under new owners, but the fans remain the same. Limerick 37 is what took the place of Limerick FC in the Eircom League, Limerick FC having died a death due to its owner, a lot of players from LFC came over to L37, due to wanting to remain in senior football, as well as remaining in Limerick. The fans came over because this (L37) is now our senior club, similar players to what we have had, similar fans what we have had, and a similiar ground to what we used to have. Are you seriously saying that the fact that we now have a better background set-up should drive us away from the club?Quote:

Or due you think that they should have not bothered trying to change things for the better and instead let that shower that was running their club run it straight into the ground?
You see for us its supporting the same club, no matter what guise it comes in
The only possible way for people from Limerick not to support L37 would be if another club was set up in the city and got entry to the EL.
What fun that would be........
That wa sthe worry when Danny was threatening to take the EL to court to allow LFC into the league as well as L37, imagine if LFC were in place instead of Wexford Youths? We could have had Monkfish's Israeli flag flying over Jackman and LtiD's Palestine flag over Hogan Park. It would have been war I tell you!:DQuote:
