Limerick GAA - it's Box Office - Always Has Been, Always Will Be

Dublin are bad

It not all bad though, when youā€™ve to plan towards 4 munster championship games in 5 weeks.

Like Offaly, Iā€™d take a horrible one point win of any description on Saturday.

Dublin surely wonā€™t be as bad as theyā€™ve been in the first two games.

Hard to see us posting up a big total with all the absentees.

Exactly, itā€™s one thing trying out new players, itā€™s another thing trying out new players without an experience around them.

Thereā€™s been usually at least one change to the starting lineups this year so it wouldnā€™t surprise me to see Gillane not starting despite being named. Good to see Hego moved out from the corner at least anyways. Reidy getting a start encouraging as well.

He might have showed up to training so.

There is a chance that Gillane wonā€™t start. Iā€™m naturally disappointed for Barry, I think heā€™s done well so far if not in the most flamboyant of roles.

Murphy has done everything he right so far this year, heā€™s a good player. Reidy similarly, just a natural forward. Not the same type of player as Oā€™Donovan at all but a good player in his own right.

I would have liked to see Malachy get a start somewhere but canā€™t have everything

I think Malachi deserves a start at some stage, he has a great bit of cut about himself!!

Weā€™re going to waterboard them with piss and sliothars this Sunday.

Disappointed Malachy isnt getting a run out , hopefully he gets some game time. He has a great bit of cut to him.

2019 will be our year. 15 hip and whippers who all have a great cut about themā€¦

2020 vision there.

Thereā€™s a great bit of cut about that young fella from Nicker on the bench

Dubs game will be the last time weā€™ll have to go for a piss in the dark at half timeā€¦ :ronnyroar:

Facelift for Limerickā€™s Gaelic Grounds underway.

Jerome Oā€™Connell.

ā‚¬200,000 to be spent on the Gaelic Grounds and Mick Neville Park upgrades

WORK has begun to ā€œmoderniseā€ Limerickā€™s Gaelic Grounds.

ā€œIn terms of assets and facilities we will prioritise our focus on the Gaelic Grounds and Mick Neville Park as we advance into the future,ā€ confirmed Limerick GAA Munster Council delegate Paul Foley.

The Patrickswell man is the new chairman of the Gaelic Grounds committee.

Limerick have monies from a previous Munster Council grant to undertake the work in the Ennis Road venue and also in the Rathkeale facility ā€“ it is understood that just over ā‚¬200,000 is available.

ā€In prioritising Mick Neville Park and the Gaelic Grounds there will be short term, medium term and longer terms programmes of work to bring them up to the required standard,ā€ outlined Foley to this weekā€™s February County Board meeting.

ā€œWhen people come through the turnstiles we want them to know that this is a stadium that we are proud of,ā€ he said of the Gaelic Grounds.

A number of short term projects are underway.

ā€The first step was re-letting the shop units under the Mackey Stand and a very advantageous agreement has emerged for Limerick GAA - the shops will now be re-let to a Spar franchise and they will be moving in this week and will be in position for the Dublin league game but the full upgraded fit-out wonā€™t be completed until rolled out the following week,ā€ outlined Foley.

He continued: ā€A full reconstruction and modernisation of the ladies and gents toilets on the Mackey Stand side befitting the hygiene standards expected in a modern stadium - that work has been progressed in terms of awarding the contract and will commence on the Monday after the Dublin game and completed over the following four to six weeksā€.

All short term projects will be ready for the Munster SHC tie with Tipperary on May 20.

ā€Repainting the public areas, installation of imagery and graphics celebrating great moments in Limerick GAA with a new logo for the Gaelic Grounds itself to be designed as part of that,ā€ he said.

ā€œDepending on how the naming rights evolve we will then look in a strategic way at medium term and longer term improvements to those facilities,ā€ explained Paul Foley where addressing the club delegates.

They should get the lads/lassies who run the bun operations up in BĆ³rd na MĆ³na Oā€™Connor Park in for a bit of advice. Mighty tack.

Good to see somethingā€™s happening anyways. An auld spell in 1A would be a big boost.

Thereā€™s probably ā‚¬10k of the money gone anyway :grinning: A fucking logo.

Will this affect the availability of cup of soup at half time do you know? Feel sorry for the small operators fucked out to make away for a spar

Theyā€™ll all have to go back to their old jobs of robbing cars and selling drugs.

Big match experience wonā€™t be the same unless the sweets are stuck together by being left in the damp for months.
