Ya i think the view will be much too strong for boro, they seem to be suffering second season syndrome after their excellent league win last year.

It seems that alot of the boro players are running like rats from a sinking ship. it would be some turnaround to get relegated after last year but i can see it happening if they keep playing so poorly.

As for summerville, they're like bolton this year. Lost a great manager who played a simple but effective long ball game last year which produced the 1A double while this year they're trying to expand their game under a very intelligent management team. But it doesnt look like its working for them

And as "the only 1 " just stated...we're not apparently the only club paying players..but I'd imagine you'll forget that and just concentrate on Pike as usual..

I never said Pike paid their players, in fact I have never said a bad thing about Pike.

Your the one on here trying to put all other clubs in limerick down. And you wonder why Pike isnt the most popular club around.

Exactly they dont come cheap, thats why Im saying that I dont think the LDMC would be paying for the facilities to be built.

And from what people constantly tell us,we're already hated..Can't get much worst,and the truth's truth,we worked long and hard in buying our own land,build ing our own club house and facilities,its horrible to see the ldmc waste good money when theres a perfectly good pitch below in hogan park being wasted right now,why not redevelop them and save money?
All that said to my flamers,I've never said a bad thing about Carew,If there getting all mentioned above fair play,they've have a good start to the league etc..Hope it lasts for them above there.

Note:It seems that all the activity on these pages is done between work hours,is it that no one has broadband at home?

You are a Pike man so would it be fair to say that he inherited his team just like derick white did when he won the FAI with fairview and if Whites lead is anything to go by i wouldnt be 2 optimistic.

For his first season it wasn't bad.one or two more players and its good enough to win a fai I'd say.

Waiting on the flaming to comence..

And as someone said a few weeks ago,if you believe half the ****e floating about on these forums,you'd think limerick junior players are getting paid more than Thiery Henry..

**Northside Voice** · 21/09/2007, 8:34 AM

Just asking, since when has the LDMC charged clubs for the use of Jackman Park?

I've heard that Balla requested the use of the pitch for their Senior FAI game against Bridge Celtic of Clare, Sunday 30th Sept only to be told it will cost them €200. Are the LDMC forgetting that the clubs own Jackman Park. How much are Limerick 37 paying for the use of the pitch? Absolutely nothing, that's what. Its time all junior clubs in this town started asking questions about who has priority to play in Jackman. I've never heard of any club been charged. If anyone knows of a club who has been charged please leave a message.

Lfc37 also train on jackman

**clownboy** · 21/09/2007, 9:09 AM

Did he inherit the team or not??

The older crowd will always tell you that the standard dropped when Fairview won there FAIs - its debatable i suppose but i can see there points re a lot of the great Dublin clubs going senior league.If that pike team are good enough to win an FAI then it must have dropped again.1 player in my opinion would have gotten on the Fairview team of 97 and that is Mc Garry probably at left full - ye have a fella playing in midfield O Grady i think and he cant even pass a ball 10 yards.I have seen ye playing 4 times this season and yer back 4 will be found out.Very slow.Dont get me wrong i have nothing against Pike but i do find some of yer supporters a bit much.

Fair enough. I just thought they trained on hogan park.

But I agree its a bit much if they are training and playing on it, especially when junior clubs are asked to pay to use it.

**see's it** · 21/09/2007, 9:56 AM

limerick37 are using jackman as there home pitch it makes sense to train on it afew times,they have also used UL,Mary I and Catholic Inst,
if clubs want to use another pitch its right they have to pay

**leather** · 21/09/2007, 9:59 AM

why should the clubs THAT OWN JACKMANN have to pay to play on it???

**Concept** · 21/09/2007, 10:00 AM

Why should Junior clubs have to pay if LMK37 don't?

Especially if the Limerick Junior Clubs own it and pay the LDMC player levys and fees already

**Northside Voice** · 21/09/2007, 10:12 AM

Limerick 37 make a fortune off their gates and could afford to be paying something for the use of Jackman Park. The majority of local junior clubs on the other hand, are only just surviving to keep their heads above water and its a disgrace that they should be asked to pay €200 to use the pitch. I've learned that the LDMC want €150 for the use of the pitch and €50 for the groundsman. After asking around I now understand that the two groundsmen employed there are employees of FAS and are been paid by FAS, not the LDMC. So who's trying to rob who?
Another thing I discovered is that Ballynanty Rovers were one of the original clubs along with others who put together the �10,000 (Punts) to purchase Jackman Park and now they have to pay their way in there. Is this bad business or personal from the LDMC?

**Northside Voice** · 21/09/2007, 10:22 AM

Ohhhh. Try and keep it to sport and not personal Green Hoop. Seroius stuff been said there about Balla and Carew Park. The difference is now a days with club houses, is that they are ran as businesses outside the soccer club and not by committees. Not that you would have the cop on to know that. Sour grapes I think!

not looking for sympathy, just an example of ldmc robbing clubs
2 years ago my club entered a u/17 and youth team. full year fees were payed in advance for both teams . due to cricumstances beyond the clubs control, both teams were withdrawn without kicking a ball..had one fixture which ldmc cancelled before we withdrew teams. Ldmc would not refund the monies and demanded that all youth and u/17 forms that had been registerd had to be payed for.. When the agm came around we recieved only two votes(a& B teams). ldmc stated that we only had two teams even though they charged for four teams.. money grabbers..
