I heard Lmk37 haven't paid a penny, the groundsman is paid by FAS and the LDMC are looking for €200 for use of the pitch for one fixture. €150 for use of the pitch and €50 for the groundsman who's wages they don't pay.
I thought i heard about 18 months ago that the National Roads Authority had paid compensation to Carew Park because they had built the new dual carriage way through their old pitch. The figure I heard was quite substantial aswell.Originally Posted by see's it
Probably drank by now if it was 18months ago...I could see it end up as Balla's clubhouse and pitch,one of the first in limerick...Burned down,drank dry,and left in a heap with the pitch in tow..
On a side note isn't Barry's field where they found that body last year??Campbell or something?
Whats that got to do with football?
And fair play to carew. They have a young a team that could do really well in the future if they stick together and from the sounds of it they could have facilities that will rival anything in town.
Just hope its all run well up there now that they have it.
Agree totally what has what happened in that field got to do with great facilities going ahead up there..
Best of luck to Carew Park good young side that Gave it to Pike this Year just hope ye can keep it now..
Good to see Billy Moloney back involved up there seem's to be getting Good Responce from the lad's..
Getting Back to all the talk about John Boyle, I remeber Pike people saying he will be the best winger in Limerick since hes past manager Conny.BULL..
Conny let's on he is Pike through & through but yet he has only won a league and Munster Junior up there just cant seem to hack it when it comes to FAI it will be a few year's if they ever win one....
Go back working in Loughnanes Buther's Dec..
carew wont hold or see a penny of the money everything will just be done for them best way i suppose.
green hoop all your doing is making pike more hated then they already are
hes won more that as a player with pike
IMPOSSIBLE...
He's been managing what two seasons??Done more in his first two seasons than most managers...Success it seems breeds hatred around Limerick...
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?

just like to say I hope it works out for carew park, good facilities can only help junior soccer in general.
last year was conny's first season as a player/manager and won a munster junior, you can't argue with that.
With regards pike paying players signing on fees its highly unlikely as the other players would all leave if a few were getting paid. I remember they paid players about 10-15 years ago when Jaws was manager and that nearly ruined them as they signed aload of mercenaries who left the following season. The pike players that were there left and the club nearly got relegated over the next few seasons. I'm sure they've learned their lesson from that. Boyle leaving is shockin tho as its come out of the blue, I wonder are carew paying him!
Free pints in the steering wheel is rumoured!!just like to say I hope it works out for carew park, good facilities can only help junior soccer in general.

I dont think LDMC are paying for Carews facilities.
Also you say never said a bad thing about carew yet you said the above.
johns not a drinker but he told me hes getting a few quid he got offered it at philip coffeys wedding 2wks ago and decided to take it "fact" best of luck to himFree pints in the steering wheel is rumoured!!
That's mostly about balla...and with the amount of rubbish ye spout non stop about pike its a minor thing...
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..

Those kind of facillities dont come cheap a descent floodlit all weather could cost approx €250,000 depending on size and dressing rooms like the one being mentioned another € 200,000 and the pitch as much as € 100,000 that all amounts to €550,000, the national roads authority most have an awful lot of money to throw around.
Is that an astro turf all weather pitch or just gravel?
like pikes famous all whether pitch is it?
Just lkie to say looking forward to the Fairview/Boro clash this week. From what i've seen so far this season they don't seem to be up to much, possibly relegation candidates, along with Summerville who should be playing in 1B at most!
whatever bigbird..u'd just love to be back playing with us...our pitched suited and long fellow like u...he he
don't think we will be fighting relegation this year...well i hope not...what do people think out there???
