    Thats not a bad kit, will ye have a sponsor on the front? Its a pretty nice jersey but would look a lot poorer for something plastered on the front, like Cork kit last year.

    Thats great, I'm going to try and get to games as regularly as I can this season now that I'm based in the city. Hopefully we will be as competitive as last year.

    There will be a sponsor on the front of it. The New Jersey is basically the Napoli jersey from the 2013 season. Looking at pics of them in the jerseys it looks very nice.

    Played Waterford lastnight drew one all in horrible conditions. Very poor game but Waterford scored direct from a corner and Shane Tracy scored from near enough the halfway line.

    Starting team was: Cusack,Kelly,Oji,Folan,Costelloe,Hughes,Duggan,Trialist,Tracy,Ebanks(on trial),Gaffney.

    Subs: Nathan Murray, Colm Murphy,Tony Whitehead, Sean McSweeney,Shane Walsh, Garbhan Coughlan, James McGrath, Barry Sheedy

    All the subs got on at some stage.

    The trialist in midfield looked handy dropped back to get the ball from defence some nice passing and worked hard looked to get very tired after about 55-60 mins. Ebanks I'm afraid looks nowhere near good enough to improve us did absolutely nothing. Cusack came off with a bit of a knock which hopefully isn't too serious.

    Looking at that video the trialist (10) looks like a tall enough lad. If he can play ball too then he could be a great asset.

    any pics of alternative kits? Not gone on the collar! Shorts are nice.

    Anyone know, (save me going into town) if you can buy last years ones at knock down prices?

    I know they had a few at cheaper prices but what's left now I don't know. Sizes could be very limited too.

    The alternative kit will be the same yellow one I would think and the navy one they wore vs Man City.

    They are keeping it very hush hush. I take it they don't want other clubs knowing which I take as a good sign.

    That doesn't seem like a bad result

    No not bad at all. We had a late goal disallowed also. They are in the spanish 3rd division and currently sit 3rd in their section. A lot of the current Athletic Bilbao players have come through the B team.

    Yeah sure their current top scorer for the b's has already played 3 senor games in la liga already this year

    Turns out it was Athletic Bilbao 19's not B team as reported.

    Another friendly tomorrow against Amorbieta, I am presuming this time it will be against their first team who do play in the Segunda Second Divison.

    Not quite - they play in the Segunda B, which basically means third division. It's regionalised into 4 groups. They play in group 2.

    Ya that's the division I was talking about as in La liga, Segunda Division, Segunda Second Division. Just worded it wrong.

    This is being organised by the Independent Limerick Supporters Club and it would be great to see as many travelling up together and make a day of it.

    Slight bump before the season kicks off next friday.

    The excitement is building, I'd like to see 95 fm go crazy advertising this for the next few days. Try get a few in to what was arguably the most exciting game last season.

    I preferred Bray away but the second home game was insane

    I'd like to have seen the club do a lot more promotion of the league starting. Virtually none has been done so far barr Facebook, twitter etc..... Build up needed to start a minimum two weeks ago.

    Advertising costs dosh which the club does not have. Local media need to help them out a bit.

    I think the money from the trip to Spain could have been better spent on advertising or at least towards advertising.

    How much was it? and how much is the type of advertising you would like to see?

    Couldn't tell you, that's why I said would have at least went towards advertising surely. If we are very tight cash wise then the last thing we should have been doing is bringing on more financial burden heading to Spain whether it was a little or a lot. 95fm are a sponsor on the jersey so surely a deal could be done on the advertising side instead of relying on Mick Aherne and the sports team to mention it.

    I don't think a lot of people even realise Limerick are back this weekend.

    There was mention on the Saturday morning sports show and they had interviews with Craig Curran, Shane Duggan and another player. I missed it myself but was told about it.
