Thats good to hear Gael that their are good people coming to the fore. But what Ive heard from LDMC is that L37 wont be given the use of Jackman Park over all the monies that they are owed and that the clubs will vote on this. If this is true is there any back up plan for an alternative ground to use.![]()
*Drumroll*
I can now reveal in full the clubs financial situation:
The figured owed is infact 1.785 million Euro
986,328 Euro of this debt is money owed on Jaffa cakes and coffee which are handed out to the board members at the dozens of meetings which are held weekly simply to try and provide the Limerick Leader with gossip
Ger Finnin has not infact resigned.
Rather he has travelled to Parma in a top secret attempt to save the much vaunted Errea Cup.
This plan will see Limerick 37 play Parma 12 times in 7 days at various famous landmarks around the world in an attempt to raise the funds.
I can also give you a sneak preview of the Limerick Leaders next report on the current troubles at the the club:
Rumour would have it that Limerick once had a great side, rumoured to be playing in the Markets Field. It has been whispered around town that this was followed by a rumoured move to Hogan Park which sources tell me is rumoured to be in the Rathbane area. Rumours of a rumoured relegation to the First Division were confirmed by a fella outside the office (possibly in the White House).
It is now rumoured that the senior soccer side have been involved in rumoured first division matches at Jackman Park, which sources would have me believe is located on Careys Road.
However in recent times whispers of rumours of rumoured financial trouble have alledgedly cropped up around town, or so the rumour goes

Id coopyright that if i were you, could be lead story on one of their editions sometime this week![]()
The expert was in our midst all along...he's clearly an L37 spy sent here to test our devotion to the club! Hold the presses, if this becomes even remotely viable it'll certainly make the front page...[GenerationXI imagines the rag with the words 'our very own 007' in giant print smeared on its coverpage and a small child believing every word - presuming, of course, that nobody else would]

Slightly confused here. Are you lot on about GER Finnan or Steve Finnan?
If it's former then I'll ask did anyone read his interview with Donn O'Sullivan in the Limerick Post before Christmas? He promised european football for Limerick within 5 years. He also said Celtic could come over for a pre-season friendly. Sorry if I don't find this amusing. First they sack McGhee even though he did an ok job in his first season, then the financial rumours where we might not even have loi football in the region and now this. So can anyone enlighten me as to what's going on?
Am I the only one who thinks that the attacks on the local rag are a little bit of a smokescreen to the real issues here?![]()
The ball is round and has many surprises.
This is how we cope SLK. . . please we've lost everything else. . .also, that Albert Finnan quip was the single best comment I've read thus far. Also, it's not like you to defend rags of any kind...if this was the independent we were ragging on you'd be making an effigy.
There are obviously serious issues at hand however, but with a startling lack of information and an overhwelming desire to kick and scream about something...well this is what one gets.

I very much doubt it
I've just two things to say about the Leader and I'm going to leave it at that as today is going to be my last on foot for awhile (I've decided there's a few things in my life need to take precedence over arguing the toss with you lot)
Anyway:
1. It's common knowledge that Ger finnin was hospitalised last week and remains fairly, shall we say highly strung, for want of a better term. Now is it really good journalism to be picking through the circumstances around his resignation at this juncture?? Time and a place and all that
2. Why would a company in grave financial difficulty (As Limerick apparently are if the Leader is to be believed) make known the exact details of said difficulties at what would doubtless be a delicate juncture in any efforts to sort them out?? Why is the Leader still pushing it then??
Because Limerick 37 is not the plaything of the supporters club.
There are shareholders and vested interests in LDMC with monies owing etc.
It would be amiss of the paper not to look for answers.
You have to stop thinking that the press looking for an answer equates to gutter journalism.
Since the new sports editor took over last season he has been nothing but kind to the L37 agreeing to print only the official line and unlike his predecessors he can be seen at games.
