There was an interesting whistleblower type blog a good few years back calling out some of the goings on within the agency in charge of Regeneration.
An absolute cluster fuck Iād say
If people knew the half of what went on, there would be a riot. Actually there wouldnāt. There would be a clamour to get a slice of the action and afterwards a shrug of the shoulders. Fighting Irish my hoop.
Bastards knocked plenty of fine houses when it was a chance, a job and a few quid at the start was needed to incentivise fellas.
Blacktrack
Thatās the spot. I remember it now
Is the soccer field (Shelbourne Park ?) that was behind the maternity hospital still used ??
Mainly a park now
It was always primarily used as a park.
yeah but they did a good bit of work there about 5 years ago to upgrade the play area.
it was a shit pitch anyway. Are Shelbourne after moving?
Shelbourne still play in there, they have dressing rooms and all.
Itās not a bad pitch really.
I played against Shelbourne there nearly 30 years ago in a pre season game
Itās still thereā¦ The pitch aināt badā¦ but nothing special. Played lower league with Shels a few years agoā¦ Much worse pitches than it around.
I wouldnāt be able to think of many off the top of my head, some of the bogger teams maybe, the one out there by the cats cradle thats sideways on a hill
Ah stopā¦ Half of Limerickā¦ It was bad in the warmer months alrightā¦but it held up well in winter which is all you wanted. We played Cals in Rathurd and it was like being in a swamp ā¦ A certain ref who drives a moped said it was grand and took his money.
Rathuardās pitches were lovely back when I was playing in Limerick. Wembley had a lovely pitch out there.
Maybe doing Shelbourneās pitch a disservice. I didnāt play on it much and hated it. Again thatās going back a good 15 years +
Did you ever have the good fortune to have the ref in Limerick whoās deaf?
Pitch in Shelbourne park was a fine job.
We used to play Moyross there
