Did anyone else cry when Rovers were relegated?

Ah yes the good old days when you didn't feel you had been at a league of Ireland game unless you had been glassed and chased through the city centre

No we shouldn't. That is as much of a kip as Rathbane. And soul-less as well. It might have worked with 7 or 8,000 fans in there but I don't really like grounds with dog tracks or running tracks between the crowd and the pitch. Almost as dead as Santry or RSC.

Yeah, never let the truth get in the way of a good quote. There is a load of rubbish talked about that - like a cavalry charge etc. All rubbish. George Byrne made up most of it for an article in Hot Press.

I'm referring to its city centre location really. And the fact that it was Limerick's true home for years. A move back there might bring back the crowds. Rathbane, no offense, is not in the best area!

I dont doubt it!
