They have a few entry gates into the area, where stewards could stop and charge the admission prices, and the pitch is nice too. Surely UL wouldn't charge too much in rent?

the entire arena would have to be fenced or walled as its an open venue at the moment...only fence are the ones keeping ppl offthe track but nothing to stop ppl watching any events for free...its pretty much like jackman come to think of it

No lights,ul would never give a lease long enough to draw down grants,stunt future expansion of arena(track is due to be moved)and they are doing very well without us!Combine that with the possability of drawing a rabble element home/away fans,that why,in a nutshell.

Votes are all their about and maybe we could vote as a block(those that are eligible!) for the ones that are most positive for the club.
Just an idea.

Myself & Paul O R had a very good chat with Maurice Quinlivan & Tom Collopy (i think his son Darren ? goes to every match) & i was very very impressed by the way they talked about the old days watching Limerick @ the MF. i said to them are ye her just to get votes. The response i got was "we are here because by getting this done it can only benefit Limerick & Limerick FC as a whole & it must happen" another Quote was " if we can get in it will happen because we are fans as well"

So they are definitely getting my vote. They ment what they said not like other politicans who promise the world & never deliver.

Maybe you can get onto Elena Secas and get her to sort it out?

Had a chat with Tom Collopy as well about what the Market's Field could do for the Garryowen area and was very impressed with some of the things he was able to tell me he had picked up from canvassing the area so he's getting my vote.

I will say too that I'm mates with his son, in case anyone thinks I'm trying to drum up votes here
