Ireland V Australia: Thomond Park

**L37Ultra** · 07/08/2009, 11:55 PM

The international friendly on Wednesday is an ideal opportunity for Limerick FC to promote the club to thousands of football fans.

While I understand not all in attendance will be from Limerick, the majority will be. I've heard 15,000 tickets were sold last week and they are selling fast this week.

It is a perfect opportunity to promote the club in the city. What, if anything, is the club doing on Wednesday?

for starters, if the game is on in limerick why in the name of god are people going to tipp to watch the team train "a joke if u ask me" . not too sure what the club will do with this one it would be nice to see LFC flags alongside fai flags for starters. i heard a rumour (only a rumour) that some of the kids from the soccer schools from lfc were walking out with the teams. would be good if it happened after all the fai are always on about grass roots football ???????????????????/

Id be very interested to know that i think you make a great point.

I think Trapp should get kidknapped by one of our many gangs only to be saved by a crack team of LFC fans in full SC gear (jersey, scarf, can of bulmers) just in time for kick off. Imagine the exposure!

The very least we should do is have some volunteers trying to sell Leo's Lottery around the ground and even try and promote next Fridays game.
Monkfish,you've come up with some crackin idea's before but this tops the lot!

apprantly you cant even see them train in tipp

you need a fai pass to get access to cooke park.. and passes only distributed via tipperary district league by fai... bit of a joke really as i am sure people from limerick / clare / waterford etc would have been intrested to see players up close and personal ... then again as you said if match is on at thomond park why are the team not training at thomond park ... once again fai show they don't care about the paying public have no problem taking your 25 / 35 / 55 euro to watch game but go out of their way to make it as difficult as possible for fans to see players training

**37Beour** · 08/08/2009, 11:43 PM

Someone from my club rang me and said an FAI development officer had 8 tickets did I want some...so I took four from her.

As far as I know the other four are gone but if not il let you know instead of leaving um go to waste!

**37Beour** · 10/08/2009, 3:36 PM

Went to training session this morning....wasn't great! Actually delighted to notice all the drills they do my team do in training.

There was no real atmosphere almost funeral like but couldn't expect more at a training session! Got some great pics with players but the new baby must be keeping Robbie awake coz he wasn't a happy camper!

I'd say your own wage bill is just as high...ex LOI legends don't come cheap.

I'll be heading up anyway. Hopefully the weather holds up tomorrow night. In the limerick papers they are putting down over 20,000 expected for the Ireland match as a positive and todays national papers are wording it that only around 20,000 will be at the match and putting it as a negative, typical

Come tommorrow night the place will probably be full as alot of people will decide to go last minute. Not a pleasure alot of people from this side of the country usually have.

Your right, club needs money to get some decent players in, not the sort of damaged goods thats getting handed back to the Fairgreen. Fella from Pike was telling me their calling you Failview Rejects or something?
