There’s a cap of 2000 on the attendance. I think Tulla could manage plenty more tbh
Im sure theyll take a bit of cash on the gate
The ground would take it alright but car parking is the reason for the cap, I believe.

The only real derby in hurling
John Flavin a selector now with Limerick. Takes me back to this absolute cracker of a Tom Ryan quote:
The fact that flavin never came through would have been my biggest disappointment as limerick manager.The reason he never came through was his own fault.He wen’t off playing junior fucking b football with the club.He was a good player like and then yer man came looking for him Davey whatever the fuck his name is,the secretary of Monagea,a small fella with a cap.He was a bollox anyway whatever his name was and he took him away to the football.He took him away and he got injured.It broke my heart two years of work gone down the drain.

Are Limerick going to do it this year lads?
No.
Limerick are done now for the foreseeable.
It’s the Tipperary era now.

The full quote is worth reproducing
John Flavins loss was one of Tom Ryans biggest dissapointments.
We were down two backs from 1994 we had lost Ger Hegarty to injury and Joe O’Connor retired.John Flavin was like John Roche he had been in the camp for over a year and was being brought along gradually.He was going through what you would call our academy and he was ready.Before the championship he broke his leg.A disaster.He was never the same player after that.He was coming in 1995 and was a contender at wing back a year ahead of Mark Foley.But i was testing guys for a weakness again showing the intensity and pressure of the selection process that players were being put through.Flavin had a weakness which was the fact that he decided to go away and play junior football a fortnight before the championship.
He broke his leg behind in Athea.That put a question mark over him.Had he the mentality,the mental strength that you need to say no fuck off im not playing football.I have my place on the Limerick team for the championship.You need that as well the missing ingredient in his case.
The fact that Flavin never came through would have been my biggest dissapointment as Limerick manager.But the reason he never came through was his own fault.He went off playing junior fucking B football with the club.He was a very good nice fella like and then your man came looking for him.Davey whatever the fuck his name is.The secretary or chairman of Monagea,a small fella with a cap.He was a bollox anyway whatever his name was and he took him away to the football. He collected him and took him away and there was two years work gone down the drain.

I fear this is true. Tipp won the All Ireland by 15 points last year, have an avalanche of young players coming through, have a new billionaire backer and have an uber-defensive style that makes them hard to break down. Very difficult for our group of auld lads to compete with that
