Speculative? It's coming from the owner.
I personally have no problem with MH Park but if the club want to grow its going to be very hard doing it there. Numerous issues like entrance exit and little room for expansion due to ground layout. Then you have the damn plastic pitch which the club can't get rid of due to amount of teams using it.
It's a fine junior ground don't get me wrong.
Speculation by the owner! He's not offering any commitment other than saying they'll probably have to do a feasibility study at some point soon.
Yer spending a lot of money on full-time players, presumably with the ambition of getting promoted. Would MH Park get a Premier licence? The away section is inadequate for the crowds that you would expect in the Premier.
Kerry just have to spend to be in the hunt for the top 5. All about the chase.
Agree with Legendz here, not necessarily about promotion, but if the aim is to establish the club in the First Division's top 5, then with the best will in the world you won't achieve that with local players alone, so you have to compete with the Cobhs and Brays for players.
The ultimate aim is promotion. Or what's the point. Your then back to the problem of the ground not being up to premier division standard. Which was the start of the discussion.
The FAI seem to keeping to the standards that they have set, in terms of the National League anyway. So maybe Premier and First Division licenses will be harder to achieve. It would be so deflating to achieve promotion on the pitch but to then fail to get a licence to compete.
