I'm not a Limerick afn but €12 is not steep - although 3 home games in a week can hit hard.
On average of €12 every two weeks is feck all - less than 2 pints a week
As for publicity, does the club not have a dedicated PR man? For example in Longford club takes up one full broadsheet page every week in the local rags, made up of match report, preview of next week, supporters club notes and the bits and pieces.
On local radio we get lots of coverag, not always good mind you, they have no problem airing the views of a dsigruntled fan afre a poor performanve, despite the fact that it covers 3 counties two of which have no eircom League club. Again people at the club would be pushing it. And like yourselves they'd all be voluntary.
By the way, prices in Longford went to 15 last season.
Quite simply paying 12euro for football of that quality is an absolute disgrace. People don't like feeling ripped off, and thats generally what you feel as soon as you walk through the turnstilles in Hogan Park. Again if we were playing good attacking football I don't think it would be as much of a problem as it is. Sadly the fact is, is that fans pay 12euro in to the ground, then get over-charged on things like hot dogs and programmes (its not compulsary to buy these I know, but people still will regardless), and then have to stand in the freezing cold and watch completely unwatchable football.
Until Danny comes to his senses and either lowers prices and/or sacks Noel attendences will never be up. I don't think slating Limerick95 will do much either lads, face it, if you were in charge of the station what percentage of sports coverage would you give to a team that has underachieved for over a decade in comparison to a team that is soon to play in the semi-finals of a European competition? And thats just the hurlers I'm talking about, let alone our lads!
