    Weird article. It doesn't actually say they have nothing to report. It actually says they are waiting to see where they stand before making a statement.

    Love this bit from the Leader article

    An article appeared in the Irish Times on Friday morning stating that the 72-year-old club could be "wound-up" this week

    FYI, I wasn't trying to be funny or smart. I just found the sentence risible.

    The current club are far from 72 years old and no amount of hawking that will ever change that fact.

    A bit more on this...............


    Limerick to hold public meeting

    Published Date:
    17 June 2009
    By Jerome O'Connell


    LIMERICK FC are to host a public meeting this Sunday evening, June 21 as speculation abounds as to the future of the city's 72-year-old League of Ireland senior soccer club.
    The club have issued an appeal for "everyone with an interest in the future of senior soccer in Limerick" to attend the meeting in The Strand Hotel on Sunday at 7pm.
    "Due to on-going negotiations Limerick FC is not currently in a position to respond to recent media speculation regarding the future of the club," explained a club statement released on Tuesday afternoon.
    "However, we can assure everyone that the staff and the players of Limerick FC are fully aware of the situation within the club and the supporters will be informed of any further developments as they arise."
    However, the club have accepted that they require a cash injection.
    "Due to unforeseen circumstances the Limerick FC Board and Management Committee are currently seeking further investment," explained club's the statement.
    "The club would like to ask the people of the mid-west to support Limerick FC."
    The statement calls for a show of solidarity at Jackman Park this Friday night when high-flyers Shelbourne visit Limerick for a crucial League of Ireland First Division clash - Limerick currently lie 12 points behind leaders UCD.
    "It is important that people come out and support Limerick this Friday in Jackman Park against Shelbourne and in their future fundraising endeavours. The club has come a long way in the last 18 months under the current Board and Management Committee. Limerick FC now has proposals in place to secure the future of the club through its new base in Knockalisheen and also its on-going aspiration to return to the Markets Field with the assistance of all bodies involved," the club statement read.

    Well at least the players and board know whats going on, thats a huge relief but us supporters who pay their wages and travel to games are being told nothing, thanks Limerick we know now ye really appreciate our support every week. We'll just accept that as usual so i suppose, i'm really getting sick of lies, the club are treating its own supporters like aliens.
