First of all, fair play for opening the shop but secondly, surely there's cheaper ways to stock a shop than to run down to Spar to buy what you intend to sell? I'm not knocking you, but surely it could save both you and the fans some money?

Im mortified for you!

[shelbourne1904]

I think the point being made is that the cost of the items in the shop on average were the same as in other shops bar a few cent. There are usually frebies as well. We do have a policy of fairness in the shop and try to give value for money.

Lastly, do you really think we buy the stock for the shop in another shop!!!!

No but someone else thought it was bought in Spar!!!

stop advertising brands. we were taking about crisps.

maybe you should give stuff you full attention before posting?
seems what most people do.

[JoeyFantastic]

Might ruin my style though.

lads at the mjc cup game yesterday thought it was a disgrace charging the kids 1euro for crisps shop is very dear and the toilets are a joke you wudnt let a dog go in them.plus for safety ye should put the signs back futher to the wall and the new lights put some padding around them the players will get hurt if they hit them

The fact that we are worrying about important matters such as the price of a bag of crisps it really does show the progress we have made! We no longer have to worry about small things like what is going on, on the pitch

Short answer is yes but the weather (you might have noticed it) has delayed planned work in this area. Toilet facilities are being upgraded on both sides of the ground at the same time

So we no longer have to use the grass on the other side of the pitch as a toilet

Although never set foot in Jackman or Market's I've checked both areas out. Great for Limerick football if they got back to playing there. Good location too.

Can someone clarify exactly why The Markets Field becoming qavailable is good for L37.Besides being the original home of Limerick football.
As far as I know :
There are no dressing rooms,while not unsurmountable still a cost.
The pitch would have to be re laid?
It is further from the centre of town
Further from the train station
Has limited space at some sides
Is in the middle of a housing estate
It would have the be leased and might have no long term future if the site might be deemed too valuable in the future?
If I am wrong about this what are the advantages???

Just to reply to you there:
1. If it's being leased to the FAI I'm sure they'd build a stadium there. The FAI would then lease it to us.
2. See no. 1
3. It's about an extra 5/10 mins walk. No big deal really
4. So what? The train station is still very near it.
5. And Jackman is better is it?
6. And Jackman isn't?
7. If you read the article, it is zoned for recreational and sporting use. Previous rezoning attempts have been blocked as will all future attempts. So the value of the property is a lot less than what you would expect. The majority of it cannot be used for commercial/residential development, so it's not that valuable with that in mind. It looks like any developer who wants to develop on it, cos there's also the telecoms building, will basically have to build a stadium as part of any deal.

Would be great I think. All years away though development wise...

[shelbourne1904]

All good points.
Just hoped it wasnt another of these "football in Limerick wont thrive unless its in the Markets Field".Normally put foweard by people who have not been at a match since Limerick last won the league and invariably suffer from poor memory of the times the Markets Field was empty for games.
