Good initiative for what should be a big crowd.
Hopefully it does well.
When King Eric's in town to give one of his meet and greet talks, he agreed to give Kerry FC a plug!

Nice to see that the 8 year old who drew the front cover picture showing Rovers scoring knows what’s what and who’s who in the pecking orderQuote:

It wouldn't be the first time Pohls did that. I believe Declan McDaid scored from just such a scenario :D. But I think if Pohls goes walkabout this season it will be less consequential as you'd imagine he'll be sitting on the benchQuote:

Kerry FC have announced that they have surpassed the season ticket sales record from 2024. Haven't seen figures but sounds positive year on year.
The one thing we know from last year is that attendances were steady from Feb to April, slumped from then to August, and picked up again afterwards for a while - the lowest figures were 4-500, so if we assume that they represent the hardcore supporters, then 350-400 STs seems a reasonable estimate for 2024, so add another 50-100 onto that for this year.Quote:

Who would have the lowest ST sales in the league then, do we know? I'm guessing UCD?Quote:

Greatest League in the World or what!
Kerry have announced a free supporters bus for every away game this season:

Great initiative, it’ll help grow fan engagement and passion for the club. That can’t be cheap at all though, particularly the two trips to HarpsQuote:

Is this a first in world football cos I've never heard of it before
Unusual, but by no means unique. Stoke City have been supplying free coaches to all supporters going to away games for years now, thanks to the generosity of their owners (Coates family, absolutely loaded). Also haven't increased their ticket prices at the 365 for something like 13 years. Moind you, you'd need an incentive to watch Stoke, home or away!Quote:

Fair play to the club. Clearly staying and building a strong relationship with the community and in a way, a reward for all the fans who have travelled to games and with only 1 win in 2 seasons on the road, its great appreciation shown to the fans.
Massive wedge, I believe around 100 grand raised for med aid Palestine in Gaza , from the percentage of the Bohs third kit. Sales must have been massive.
