Limerick statement after pyrotechnics used during Cork game:
LIMERICK FC STATEMENT: PYROTECHNICS
Limerick FC strongly condemns the use of pyrotechnics at Friday’s SSE Airtricity League Premier Division fixture against Cork City.
The club, our first-team management and players were delighted with the vocal support that the team received throughout the derby game and the atmosphere that was created by our supporters at the Markets Field.
That level of support and the volume of backing helped to inspire the players on the pitch to earn a well-deserved and very positive point against the league leaders and last year’s double winners. Your support is greatly appreciated by all involved at Limerick FC.
However, the use of pyrotechnics, in particular flares, by a minority of people is totally unacceptable and strictly forbidden. First and foremost, it poses a serious health risk to the persons responsible and innocent bystanders in their vicinity.
Secondly, such actions result in hefty fines that the club simply cannot afford. Should this type of behaviour continue or reoccur, we are making supporters fully aware that the FAI has the power to close sections of the stadium.
Limerick FC will be imposing a zero-tolerance policy on those found to be responsible for such actions, and in working with An Garda Síochána we will ensure that anybody identified will be issued with a banning order from the stadium.
The club reiterates its thanks to our supporters who fully got behind the team in the right manner on Friday, and we look forward to you creating another loud atmosphere in backing the players against Shamrock Rovers back at the Markets Field on Monday (kick-off 6.30pm).
