Title: Limerick FC Supporters on the Internet
Although Limerick F.C. currently lacks an official website, a number of unofficial fansites have surfaced in recent months. Run by die-hard Limerick F.C. fans from Limerick and around the country, they are treasure troves of information about the club both past and present.
The most recent of these sites is the “Limerick F.C. Supporters” website. This site is primarily picture-based a number of sections of interest. It contains match reports and pictures from all of Limerick’s games so far this season (both League and Cup) and is the perfect way for those fans who cannot travel to Limerick F.C.’s home games on Thursday evenings to keep pace with the club’s exploits.
The other main part of this website is a history section. This ever-expanding section already has information on such games of interest as the Real Madrid game in the early 1980’s. This section is also composed primarily of pictures giving fans access to old articles and programmes from days past.
The oldest and most established of the Limerick F.C. websites is the “Limerick F.C. Unofficial Website.” This excellent site was started during Limerick F.C.’s successful run in the League Cup just over a year ago and features a myriad of statistics about the team. This site also hosts a section on the Limerick F.C. supporters prize-giving at the end of last season. There are pictures available of the actual trophies presented and of the players accepting them. Other features include guest books and squad photos. Overall this site is well designed and a definite must-look for any Limerick F.C. fan.
However the website that makes the greatest contribution to Limerick F.C. fans is www.foot.ie. Initially set up by a Cork City fan, this website now hosts sections on every club that plays League of Ireland football. The Limerick F.C. section is one of the most active, providing a community for fans to discuss any and all matters in relation to the club. “Ever since two of the Limerick websites linked to us, the Limerick forum ahs become very popular,” says Foot.ie Operator Adam Beecher. “It is now the busiest First Division forum on the site, and the fifth busiest forum overall. That’s remarkable in such a short space of time.” With the vast amount of content on this site, it is well worth checking daily, as it is usually the first pace any news regarding the club will be seen.
The url addresses for these sites are:
1. The Limerick F.C. Supporters Website
www.geocities.com/limerickfc2003
2. The Unofficial Limerick F.C. Website
www.geocities.com/sadloserkid/limerickfc
3. Foot League Of Ireland Soccer Forums
www.foot.ie
Any thoughts?

The ball is round and has many surprises.
Yup, it is a pity that I couldn't include Lims Fan's site but I sent around the e-mails to everyone asking if they wanted to be featured, got responses from everyone else. Not wanting to put it in without permission I left it out. He has gotten back to me since and I will try and get him in in something else during the year.
