Quotedidnt know Terryland was gettin a new stand?Originally Posted by nigel-harps1954
Would imagine it's a raised stand, similar to that of new stand in Terryland and the new Finn Park plans.

Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
The new stand there. The eh..old, new stand. I've no idea what they call it, Comer stand or something isn't it?

Passed again today and this time there were people in there so thats a bit of good news at last.
A lot of people in there today they were clearing the opposite end to the away end looked like they were starting on taking on the wooden up in the top left corner as you look at the stand and there were lads going in below the stand.
More good news stories for us this off season Neil O Reardon in the Sun yesterday claiming the club made tentative contact with Bohs to switch the first game of the season to an away game. Also says they may have to ask for the minimum licencing requirements of 1500 and seperate area for away fans to be waived.
The lads on the Limerick FC Independent supporters facebook page have posted up the latest Markets Field pic from today. While it is a bit far away and no major improvement is visible it is encouraging to see plenty of activity in and around the stand. One would presume the dressing room refurbishment is well under way. https://www.facebook.com/limerickisc...515467/?type=1
Well if Neil wrote that it must be true

Well considering I already knew about the Bohs thing I think its safe to assume the rest is true aswell. Id believe his word over anything that comes from the club thats for sure.
By all accounts building work is well on schedule which is great news. Just a pity there isn't a couple of signings to report on the playing front.
Very little traffic on this thread which presumably is a good thing!! The doom and gloom merchants would surely be posting if the Markets Field redevelopment wasn't going to plan. Squad development might not be going too well but judging by the Markets Field facebook site things seem to be going smoothly at the famous Garryowen venue.
Good bit of talk going on elsewhere. Independent supporters club have uploaded some of their own pics as well to Facebook. The markets field page is good for updates alright.
According to Markets Field page heavy machinery gone in on site. Suspect it's for floodlights as surely there's not a huge amount of groundwork to be done?

Doing the base for the floodlights with it.
Does anybody know when the FAI announce licences for Premier & First divisions, hope we get a premier one!! !
Meeting is Monday
I pass Markets Field every morning and have stopped once or twice a week every week since it started and to my untrained eye it looks like nothing has progressed on the outside since about 2 weeks ago. Things were going at a great pace at the start now if there is any differences in there they are not noticeable. Looking at it yesterday I have serious doubts about having it for Bohs. Anyone know about this stuff know how much you could actually get done in 3 weeks?
I suppose you could get the seats in the main stand, the away stand up (seen it mentioned elsewhere it basically comes made just a matter of putting it together), maybe get the popular side done also. Turnstiles would most likely only take a few days also. The Markets Field Facebook page said about a week ago that the dressing rooms were nearly done so at the moment it could be a lot of tradesmen in doing the interior like the dressing rooms, corporate area etc....
I would imagine it will not have one or two sides open first game.
Thomond Park was open for a few games during construction, just at reduced capacity.
Big blow if we have to have sides of it closed for first game given our current circumstances. Will probably get a fairly big crowd first game of the season given the whole going back there thing if that has to be limited cos the ground isn't done at a time when we need all the money we can get it will be dissapointing considering with the squad we have the buzz will more than likely be well gone by the time its done.
But I suppose on the other side its far better to have it usable for first game than having to go back out to Thomond for a while. Just a bit of a sickener that at a time the club needs good news stories and good publicity they will probably be blamed if the ground isn't ready even though its nothing to do with em.
Ya would be nice to have it fully opened but if the capacity can be anywhere near accommodating for 1,800 that could prove to be a lot more than is needed. I wouldn't imagine we can expect anymore than that and if anything could be a lot lower than it. If the capacity is reduced then the club could really push for people to buy tickets early to avoid disappointment. Would be good to see it marked as sell out, even at a smaller capacity.
