I think all first division games should be played on a sunday afternoon, but if they have to be played on a saturday I'm fine with that too. Most players in this division are part time and given that games could be at the end of the week this avoids people having to take a half day on a friday to go to play a match. Its great to see Dundalk promoted and out of the way so thursday night matches will be eliminated. Get rid of the tuesday games too. It will save on floodlight costs too.
Nah, too many hangovers and no buzz, hated our 2pm games.Originally Posted by Scrufil
Good point regarding the players though. Sat/Sun games would make it handy with their jobs for a lot of them regarding away games (and fans).
Saving money on floodlight use too!
Give up the drinking so!Oh wait! You might need it to watch some of the first division games - thats why lots of clubs have bars on the premises!
So do most Gaa and rugby clubs, but we dont have one in Limerick, its all about the football, total football.thats why lots of clubs have bars on the premises!
Seeing as Limerick are changing their name for the new season you could always advertise the home kick-off time in your title instead of Limerick 37 ye could be Limerick 2:30!!!
Aon, dó, trí, bhí mé i mo luí, thit mé den leaba, he! he! he!
Havent heard it will be a league directive and we are sticking with Friday nights.
The fixtures list is not out yet so you cant say for certain your home games will be on friday nights.

You are right on both counts but since we have confirmed to the FAI that we wish to play our home games on Friday nights at 8pm and in previous years there hasnt been a problem.
If there was going to be a "directive" then why did they ask us when we want to play?
That said, who knows, they could decide that they want us all to play on Sat afternoon/evening/midnight but at the moment we are playing Fri nights.
We might become the new Dundalk and insist on playing on certain nights!
yes we can as it is our choice ..Monaghan will be playing its games on friday
I wish i did not know then what I dont know now
I wouldnt like Saturdays purely for my own selfish reasons. Friday works for me.
If its on Saturday, thats when I'm typically required to help out family members with various jobs that need doing, often a long way away from Limerick. If the Saturday thing does go ahead, there will be a lot of aggro for me as I have to explain every fortnight why football is more important.
Maybe, maybe not. Here's hoping we dont get to find out.
I don't

IMHO Limerick FC should just ignore the "directive" even if there is one in existence - which I doubt.
We can play football on any night we decide. Why should we take a financial hammering just to pease those Goms "running" the eircom league, who are trying their best to kill football in Ireland.
We did well last season, Why do we feel the need to change things when we finally find some stability on and off the pitch. Go Figure

If the move to the Markets Field goes through it will have to be sat games as there's no floodlights there.No choice really. I heard there really under pressure from the FAI not to use jackman park. The whole wexford debacle opened a can of worms over our facilities or lack there of i should say!

got the full 220 on this lads. Limerick will be playing their home games on Friday Nights at 7:45 at jackman park this season. There is a story behind the ifs and buts but cant put them here. If the markets field comes about mid season or next season (it will not happen at the start) then sat (due to non lights) would have to be a runner. that is all
Just once I'd like a simple explaination in the second post in these threads, it would really brighten these bleak January evenings when a sober LtiD has seemingly hibernated
Thanks for the info Gael

Would've thought 3pm Saturday clashed with less big UK games then any other time tbh.
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
Thanks Gael. That makes more sense.
Me too - you might be surprised how many Limerick FC fans also follow the Villa, there's loads of us
