I'm very easy going when it comes to teams from outside of Leinster and away followings, because I know how difficult it is to juggle trying to get half days even full days off to get up the country every second week. But Limerick is only an hour and a half away at most. Even if you finished work at 6 you'd still make KO.

The Munster Derby thing is a bit overblown.

Traditionally Waterford fans always saw Shamrock Rovers as being the most attractive games particularly during our golden years period , the Cork sides although pretty strong at the time were never thought of as particularly serious challengers.

The transient nature of Cork sides didn't particularly help in this regard as we saw the demise of Hibs , Celtic , Albert Rovers followed by the Cork City/ Foras/ Cork City again debacle & the fact that the Blues remain entombed in the First division means that derby games are unlikely for some time !

Its terrible if Pat O`Sullivan went into a pub and cursed and abused members of the clubs supporter group.
The way the club banned them was just sneaky. The leader of the group asked for an apology for what had happened in the pub. Limerick asked for names of people involved in the group, the lad sending the e mail must have thought this was to gather as much info as possible, then limerick reply by saying they are all banned.

The club is a shambles.

What's the story with away tickets? Is there really a limit of 250? If this is true is there any chance of it being increased for the Cork game?

I believe the away end holds 300.  There were other restrictions for Shamrock Rovers.  I'll enquire as to whether it can be extended beyond 300.  I'm sure the club would love to accomodate everyone who wants to see the game.

Just watch it from the bus station

The second series of fixtures will be huge for the club. We have Drogheda, Bray and Galway all at home, teams that we must be picking up points against. The return to the Markets Field will hopefully provide a lift as well from the Drogheda game on.

I had to ring a bell to get into two pubs in Limerick today...

What pub was that? Mark Murphy's I'd say??

The apathy among Limerick sports fans is something else. Ok they`re bottom of the league and struggling but their gate at Jackman Pk against 2nd placed Cork was 600 punters.

It`s very depressing for players to play in front of such small crowds. Look at the Cork-Dundalk game with 7000 at Turners. Players respond to that and up their game, to the benefit of the punters looking on. I hope the Markets Field move grabs the attention of local sports fans, now that the rugby season is coming to a close and Limerick hurlers and footballers prepare for their early exit from the Munster championship.
