    Would you rather see a Premiership team for say E15? or see an Ireland reserve team for (cheapest ticket) E55?

    Maybe you and I may choose Ireland but what about the rest? Word has it both internationals are selling slowly as it is.

    Fair point. Hadn't considered the possibility of your friendly being so cheap and the Ireland games so dear to be honest.

    Still think there'll be decent interest in the Ireland games right enough.

    According to Gleesons sports tickets for the Ireland game are starting at 25euro not 55euro so they can be got cheaper.

    Still in all they aren't selling well and won't until people have some idea what players will be playing. If it is a second string team then not many people will bother going. If it was Real Madrid everyone would go to say they have seen real Madrid play and hope that one or two first teamers show up.

    I saw Limericks two plans as how to raise the money in the Limerick Leader today. I wasn't able to make the meeting last night but i was wondering had anyone put this question forward. If i was to follow plan B and give 250euro to the club will i get my money back if they don't raise the 70,000 or where will my money go?

    It will be held in an FAI 'trust' for the next club to stagger to the edge of the abyss.
    The ball is round and has many surprises.

    If you wanna stand in a wet terrace behind the goals
    My mistake, I know the stand is E55 though, so are they putting temp seating on the terrace or what?

    Never had for Lansdowne. Don't know if that was a temporary derogation or if it was just allowed. Thought it was just allowed.

    It's allowed, there's terracing in use in Thomond for the friendlies.

    Tickets for this the eagerly-awaited clash will be available for €25 (South terrace), €35 (East and West terrace) and €55 (East and West stands) - 2,000 €7 tickets will also be distributed through schoolboy and schoolgirl clubs throughout the country in July.
    Mere weeks ago Republic of Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni visited Gleeson Sports Scene, along with FAI CEO John Delaney, to launch 1,000 pre-release tickets for the match against the Socceroos on Wednesday, August 12 (kick-off 7.30pm).
    EVERYTHING is black and white

    Thats just textbook................

    Also i think F.A.I didn't want to be upstaged by PlatinumOne so brought in a new rule banning games being played in a ground 30 days before an international match, amazingly Limerick had organised matches for Thomond PK 28 days before an international so FAI couldn't (wouldn't) sanction these . That was probably the final straw for Jack McCarthy after the FAI promised him the sun the moon and the stars etc when he first took over Lims. FAI probably wouldn't have sanctioned Shamrock Rovers either but for all the publicity before hand

    A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.

    Incredible achievement to find that sort of money in a week.

    So Limerick are safe for now but the same guy still owns the club right?

    Is there any indication of what the plan is? A new owner or a supporter run entity?
