Limerick have score to settle

LIMERICK’S new super €12m stadium has one problem. On a bright day, it is impossible to read the scoreboard at the city end.

Fans have complained to the County Board, but nothing can be done to remedy the situation unless the Planning Authority accedes to a request to have it repositioned on its original site at the Caherdavin end of the ground.

Board chairman Pat Fitzgerald said the local authority had co-operated with them through the planning and building stages, but it was felt the scoreboard would not be pleasing to the eye on the main road from Shannon to the city.
