Game is to be televised. ESPN supposedly.

Discounts for season ticket holders and the underage academy players and families.

Bringing a full squad over. From what I hear at least 6 starters guaranteed with Auguero, Tevez and a new signing to play.

Mmmmmmm

16,000 at it according to extratime.ie dissapointing crowd considering all the hype and the fact that they are premier league champions.

The bitterness is strong with this one. Disappointing to see a crowd like this watching a Limerick team alright

Pretty awful first half an hour. Stopped watching then just after Man City scored. Had to laugh when they took Nasri off and the crowd booed.

They had their full side out against Wolfsburg last night as expected.

Clubs have never had a problem attracting big crowds for games against foreign teams. See how many of them are back the next time ye play a league match is the problem. A

You putting up a picture from the stands would obviously make me think you were there

It finished 4.0 to Man City. 15,600 of the 16,000 attendance will go home happy.

Any truth in the claims of someone throwing a banana at Clichy? Just read it in a Tweet from Barry Glendenning of The Guardian.

Saw it posted on Twitter by Gael Clichy https://twitter.com/gael_22 and Facebook as well by local Limerick lads

Some idiot who wouldnt even know where Jackman Park is more than likely.

**Longfordian** · 05/08/2012, 11:43 PM

Oh no doubt it's some local knuckle dragger who has nothing to do with Limerick FC but it's shameful stuff.

**Jofspring** · 05/08/2012, 11:59 PM

As expected a few starters, more than most teams would get. Disappointed no Augero, ballotelli or Tevez but at the end of the day was just a decent night out for us. We left out Gaffney and O'Leary ha.

17,000ish is a nice crowd too and we seem to have done very well jersey and scarf sales wise.

Banana thrown on the pitch alright and the people who did it thrown out. As expected thousands there that have never seen a loi before. Same lads that threw the banana wre probably cheering usain bolt an hour later.
