Limerick FC the 4th - This is Not A Joke

I really enjoy this save so much. Thank you for continuing this.

I'm not too sure but I think that the undersoil heating will count towards your general facilities rating which will in turn make the club a more attractive proposition for new players helping you recruit a higher calibre than before. That being said 2 million is a bit steep seeing as the club won't really use it.

Great story as always!

brilliant work mate. just gave you a 5 star rating as I noticed you dont have a rating like a lot of the other stories. all the glory supports are out in limerick now! kiu

Unbelievable as always!! Even the CL those were 2 big points you picked up!

Dundalk are on fire at the moment! Could be a case of needing to beat those in the next tie to jump above them! I dont know if ive just been blind and missed it but could you put a shot up of your most recent youth intake? McEntee had a stormer of a debut!
