Would be strange if not, given the LOI social media account is posting about numbers signing up to fantasy football.
I'd love to see a stand built where the carpark is, although that brings it's own problems. It works for Aston Villa though, with one of the smallest carparks in the football league. Failing that., I'd love to see another tier added to the away stand. Terryland's location really stands against it regarding serious expansion, with the narrow Dyke Road, and that cursed breeze off the river is the horror story Siberian gulags are written about.Quote:

1,236 in Limerick
Great stuffQuote:

Big queues outside for on the night tickets and half time bars packed, usually a good sign.
I'd be guessing something like 2,800.
Will be interesting to see what the split in support is between the 2 clubs. The fact they play in very different coliurs will help in that.Quote:

610 at Kerry v Harps
Bohs just posted over 30,000 tickets sold

Going to the game tomorrow, what’s the break down of the numbers. Is it ten home ten away and the rest neutrals ?Quote:

over 50k at league games this weekend.
Tad disappointing to to be expected on a bad weather night?Quote:

The amount of eyeballs that story got will have convinced a small fraction on those people that it's worth ripping along to the Aviva.
I wouldn't worry about the size of Dalymount just yet. It's 2 fixtures a year which are guaranteed to sell out.
This weekend could be the beginning of Bohs going to the Leinster model of playing their biggest games in the Aviva.
It’s bang on Kerry’s average of last season and up 20% on last seasons opener (bray - 510). If Kerry can average over 700 this year then it will keep momentum going - a new club is always going to take time to build fan base, especially when so far always rooted to the bottom of the table.Quote:

With the experiment tomorrow set to be a success then it will probably convince the powers that be to go again for their next fixture at home to Rovers.Quote:

FAI connect has updated Kerry attendance to 810 now. The stand was sold out yesterday morning, but still lots of empty seats - presumably no shows as well as people having tickets for the stand but going to the terrace where the views are less obstructed.
I don’t believe there have been any improvements yet as a result of recent grant - it’s mainly for upgrade of Astro apparently, so assume that will be done next season.
It will be interesting to see over the next 12-18 months what further ground improvements will be done, one would assume some of the recent investment will be set aside for ground, but obviously complicated as not owned by the club.
TBF, that's why Sean O'Keeffe is double-jobbing with both the KDL and Kerry FC, so that the ground maintenance and improvement is done to the satisfaction of both parties, which isn't easy when the complex has to cater for First Division, LOI Academy games, and matches in the various KDL divisions in any given weekend, so finding a window for such work to be done is far from straightforward, to say the least!
Great , we can be just like the rugby
Seems that revised 810 figure exceeds last year's attendances, with the exception of the two Cork games and the Bohs Cup tie.Quote:

Definitely. It should be an 8,000 Category 4 stadium at a minimum. Ideally 10,000, but that would be the upper limit.Quote:

Exactly. Comparisons between them and the likes of Kildare County are genuinely unfounded. Kerry feels much more substantial, and is showing year-on-year continual growth/improvement.Quote:
