I'm saying that word of mouth between players who respect each other has a massive pull. If I remember correctly there was a big buzz about the side Park were getting together I'm sure most players wanted to be involved. If you tried being open minded you would know what I'm saying.

I understand you kid,you might be just a bit lost,Is park in any more cups????

With the rate Shannon is growing i'm sure that there would be a few people willing to get involved, have you tried advertising or anything? I think it would be good for the underage Newtown teams to have a local derby to look forward to now and again. What about some of your A and B team players at the moment, would any of them be willing to put an extra couple of hours in to help the club achieve this.

Nope Prospect put an end to our Lawson cup campaign, Mungret put an end to our divisional cup hopes if you want to call them that.

Lads what happened with Park was a case of people going different ways for different reasons. if i remember correctly a number of players left for Australia, a couple of players were injured and as has already been stated already the managers that were there at the time had practically given 1 yrs notice to say they were leaving. If the club wanted to put there house in order at the time they should have set about getting a manager installed in good time(and not a week before season starts) and called each player that was there and spoke to them and got them to resign then.

Everyclub has poached a player here and there,so theres no point just pointing the finger at park..

I would swop a local derby anytime for not diluting the currrent schoolboy teams and beating other Clare teams to win titles!!!!

Where do you get your information from?
Evan Glynn signed back for us 6 months before darren did...so to say glynno follows him seems a bit absurd.....

**brutus** · 22/03/2007, 3:59 PM

[QUOTE=parkfan;650037] Darren Griffin got onto Glynno and so on.

parkfan you dont even know what you write,your off your rocker bud,you need to read the earlier posts if you dont know what to say,stay in touch with the rest or **** off to 1a thread.

**smellyfeet** · 22/03/2007, 4:01 PM

Some players follow other players to clubs cause they are mates,theres no problem with that is there?Some players stay with the one club their whole career and others move on. Thats the way things go.

Hi Guv. let me correct you on your comments about 1 week before the season started before we looked for a a new Manager. We were all aware that the managers were leaving and 6 weeks prior to the season commencing we had a get together with all concerned, you were probably there, and discussed the options and looked for differnt names for the job from those who attended, we followed up on those immediately and even advertised the position locally and in the Leader,all to no avail except from those who wanted money. Before any of that a number of the very top managers in Limerick were asked privately, all turned it down for various reasons. Towards the very end when we almost had to withdraw from Junior football the present Managers put there hands up knowing that they faced a huge struggle and have proved to everyone how loyal to the club they are. It may also now seem that staying in the division is going to be extremely difficult , mathematically it is still possible, and if they can miraciously survive then allied with the plans for schoolboy and youth team development, the club will be on the upward trend and with all Park reared youngsters.

**guvnor** · 26/03/2007, 12:52 PM

Point taken...perhaps if those comments had been relayed to the players at the time they may still be there...thanks for the clearing up tho

hope it all works out ... might be to late now to start plans with schoolboys / youth team should have been in place years ago..
also think .. should have left a team in preimer league this season even if they probally would have been relageted at least you would still be sure of playing division 1a next year at least..
