Limerick FC

Don't Gleesons stock Limerick jerseys? They're pretty much the number one sports store in town now anyway so if they don't someone should get on to them to see if it would be a runner.

One idea they should do is to go to every Primary School in the city and country and hand out membership cards for a Junior Supporter's Club for any kid that is interested. Not sure if this idea was maintained last season but the ex's little brother got one out in his school and he pestered his dad into taking him to a game and seemed really excited about being a member of a football team's supporters club. The next generation of supporters are who the club should be targeting, not people who support their British team by drinking in Mojos

Gleesons did have them the 2 years ago but not last year. they should get both gleesons and limerick sports store to sell them, even if they just stock a couple of home and away jerseys.

Also your spot on about the schools, thats where they should be targetting. I was thinking maybe if every kid was given a little voucher that says they get free entry and the adult gets in at a reduced rate of maybe €10 surely it would get a few extra bodies in the gate. Even if limerick are losing the €2 per head for those adults at least it might be getting more people interested and more kids wanting to go support their local team.

Another idea would be if limerick are taking out the ads again in the Limerick Independent they could double the ad up as a voucher. €10 in with this voucher or Pay for one adult bring one free (might make it easier for people to convince a friend to come and would get them interested). Run these promotions for the first few matches of the season or even for matches here and there throughout the season. Its all about promoting the club and getting the crowds in in the beginning, once the crowds start coming then Limerick will start making money on the gate.
